The company says that the design philosophy of the TT+ series is based upon offering the sound engineer solutions and tools that are ready to use. These include the ability to sustain very high power with highly efficient sound pressure levels. "The main design ethos is being, able to offer the audio engineer extremely high audio quality and system efficiency," say the company

Given the retro look, Neumann's proven transformerless circuitry, low self-noise, high gain levels, great sound and reasonable price, ensure the TLM 49 is poised to become yet another Neumann legend in vocal and speech recording, says the company.
The capsule has a linear frequency response up to the upper mid-range, and above 2kHz there is a gentle presence boost up to 3dB. The large 34mm diaphragm capsule, with a tendency towards supercardioid, is enclosed by a large, acoustically open, neutral sounding head grille. TLM transformerless circuitry ensures good common mode rejection, prevent
The CT 108 (8"/1", 200 W RMS) is an extremely compact, passive, full-range speaker cabinet suited for the reproduction of the human voice and acoustic instruments. In spite of its minimal dimensions, the CT 108 delivers high sound-pressure levels with a smooth frequency response-without requiring an external controller. Thanks to its dual-function housing, it can be used not only for FOH, delay lines, and front-fill applications, but for stage monitoring as well. The low-profile design and the availability in both left and right versions make it possible to enjoy full, even sound from remarkably compact speakers.
The CT 108 Event Set presents an ideal solution for product presentations, corpor
Proven to 250kg with dual suspension lines attached independently of both motor and ball, the new swivel carries the load with complete safety, leaving the rotator to concentrate on rotating. The company will be showing these and other ideas at the AC Lighting North Trade Show in Leeds (25-26 April) and the ABTT Trade Show in London (14-15 June).

The PDS-375 TRB combines City Theatrical's award-winning WDS Wireless Data System technology with long-life rechargeable batteries to give Color Kinetics ColorBlast 12 (up to six units), ColorBlast 6 (up to 12 units), and iColorCove (up to 48) fixtures the ability to be operated and controlled with no wires at all.
CTI's President Gary Fails said: "We feel that this is the leading edge of entertainment lighting. There is no doubt that LEDs will change the way we light our world, and City Theatrical is active in the effort to invent new ways to power and control them. The low power consumption of LEDs allows battery power to be possible in large-scale
HMGCC engineers have been working with a limbless dummy with a small speaker where the mouth should be to simulate human speech. Realistic speech quality is a very important criterion for this project, and one of the many uses of Helix is to EQ the mouth speaker. "I particularly appreciate the rich functionality of Helix, which has allowed the replacement of several EQ units and laboratory audio filters with just one box," says Ken Worrall. "The ability to control both channels independently is an extremely useful function, as is the option of controlling it from a PC in a
Adding subwoofer processing and more convenient back-panel switches to the original PLX platform, the fully-featured PLX2 '02' lineup (models PLX1802, PLX2502, PLX3102, and PLX3602) are complemented by the compact PLX2 '04' amps (models PLX1104 and PLX1804), which bring the same technology to applications where bridged or 2 Ohm operation isn't required.
"The PLX2 Series is uncompromising on every level," says QSC founder and chief designer, Pat Quilter. "Paying homage to the power of the technology inside, the outward design of these amplifiers incor

The 760 includes the optimal feature set and I/O count needed for restaurants, hotels, sports bars, and clubs at a ground breaking price, say Symetrix. Featuring 12 inputs (four microphone, eight stereo line level) and six outputs, it contains microphone pre-amplification, compression, AGC, matrix mixing, paging, feedback elimination, filters and equalization, within a single rack space. Setup is easy and efficient with
The HPR152F is a versatile two-way, bi-amplified 15" system delivering 500W of continuous power with an extended frequency range of 48Hz - 20,000 Hz and a 90° x 60° coverage pattern. The HPR153F is a three-way, horn-loaded design featuring a 15" low frequency driver, a 6" midrange and 1.4" compression driver. With a dispersion pattern of 90° x 40° and 600W of continuous power, the HPR153F boasts an extended frequency range of 37 Hz - 20,000 Hz. Both units are ideal for nearly any sound reinforcement setting, say QSC.
The HPR Series also features the HPR151W - a 15" subwoofer capable
UK - Proel International has introduced JTS - an affordable, entry-level wireless mic system. The JTS 8010D is a single-channel UHF diversity system, which the company says is fully legal for use throughout the UK, without need of a licence. Operating on one of a choice of three fixed UHF frequencies (863.125, 863.75 and 864.725) it comes in a sturdy metal case and in four versions: with a robust handheld dynamic JTS microphone/transmitter, as a lavalier mic system with beltpack transmitter, as a headworn mic system or a guitar transmitter, both of the latter supplied with clip-on beltpack transmitters.
Available immediately throughout the UK, JTS 8010D packages will sell for around £118 with a handheld mic, £137.25 with the Lavalier mic and transmitter, £137.27 as a headset system with transmitter and just £118 for the guitar transmitt
Optional wide-angle lenses provide wider beam spreads of 80° through 87° - which are particularly useful for TV and theatrical environments.

Like its predecessor, the MMA-4XR will be a minimalist microphone preamplifier designed to provide integrity and transparency. Each channel will have controls for gain (60dB in 3dB steps), phase invert, cut (mute) and 48V phantom power. The Phantom power circuit will provide a higher than usual level of current output - often a problem with inferior designs that can result in compromised microphone performance. Input and output headroom will extend to +28dBu and the MMA-4XR frequency response will extend to more than 200kHz - well beyond the basic 20kHz audio band.
In addition to the attributes of the existing MMA-4, which is already

Quick installation is achieved by wire ready contacts allowing solid wires, as well as stranded wires with ferrules, to be inserted directly without any lever actuation.
Having two independent connections per pole allows one wire to be relocated while the second is kept under constant pressure in a gas-tight and vibration-resistant connection. A test port for each pole permits easy verification of the circuit.
Available with two to 24 poles, the design of double solder pins for each pole provides a stable mounting on the PCB and
