When weight load for speaker mounting was limited, in the past the only choice was the use of small speakers. The newly developed advanced speaker system NOX Series SD12 allows safe and easy installation of high performance 12"/1" speakers.

In mobile installations, the easy handling and the low weight of 10 kilograms (including U-bracket with pivot and tilt capability plus truss clamp) leads to drastic cost reduction. It is now possible for one person to mount a 12"/1" loudspeaker into a truss - using a single hand.

The new NOX SD-12 may also be used on a speaker stand or mounted into a wall. The loudspeaker is weather resistant and may be left outside

Since the launch of the W8L, Martin Audio has developed a patent pending technology, which provides an exceptional degree of control over the curvature of the high frequency vertical wavefront. Research has shown that even very long-throw systems benefit from a small, but specific amount of wavefront curvature. By coupling this technology with significant advances in high frequency device design Martin Audio have created a quad-driver, high frequency system with an impressive 10dB greater output capability over the W8L.

DDS stands for Digital Directivity Synthesis - an advanced array control optimizationconcept. DDS is based on a specially adapted "constrained weighted least-squares" optimization algorithm. Starting from a desired direct SPL distribution in a hall or space, the optimum output filter for each array channel is calculated. In other words, the desired 'illumination' of the hall or space is 'mapped back' to the array, instead of mapping the arrayresponse to the hall, as would be done with a conventional loudspeaker array.

KV2's Jonathan Reece-Farren says that the system looked quite out of place being so small in comparison to the mass of arrays and subs around it - so much so, that he had to point out which were the KV2 speakers before each demonstration. Using only two flown VHD 2.0 mid/high enclosures per side, with accompanying subs on the ground, they proceeded to "amaze all that heard it" say KV2.

Reece-Farren commented: "We've all waited a long time for this, but the reaction from those who came along has made it all worthwhile. In
