"The reaction when we introduced the FF-6000 early last year was tremendous," explains Formula Sound's Barry Penaligon. "That prompted us to look at other versions of the same concept and by listening again to what our customers wanted we arrived at the new FF-4000 mixer."
Customer feedback was an essential element in the creation of the original FF-6000 mixer which was designed in coll
With up to four beams available from each 'building block' IC8 module, eight separate beams of acoustical energy can be produced by an IC16 array, 12 by an IC24 and 16 by an IC32. The acoustical center of each beam can be located anywhere between the top and bottom of the array. Beamware's intuitive GUI now includes an 'Auto Focus' function that allows the designer to specify the number of beams to be produced by the array. Beamware then automatically aims the beams evenly to optimize coverage of the audience area or areas, using one of two algorithms as specified by the designer. Auto

"The monitor application has grown dramatically in recent times with the evolution of multiple wedge and stereo in-ear systems, which can quickly exceed the mix capability of all but the most expensive consoles," explains Allen & Heath's head of design, Carey Davies. "The GL2800M adds a fully-featured yet affordable dedicated monitor console to the popular GL Series live sound range. It is compact, easy to use, offers the best of analogue reliability and sound, and has a capability that rivals that of much bigger and more expensive console
The T Series is designed for installations where sonic quality and reliability are of the utmost priority, with the unique MC2 current-driven floating drive stage and side chain limiters ensuring that audio quality is consistently excellent.
The revised front panel of the range now features a perforated panel which give the amps a fresh, contemporary look, reflecting the 'family' design of MC2's other amplifiers more closely. The previous anodised finish has also been altered to a painted one, making the T Series more easily colour matched and therefore a co-ordinated appearance across an entire equipment rack much easier to achieve.
But as well as aesthetics, the revamp also has a highly practical application. With venues keen to maximise space
Similar to a pyro-type effect, this high-flying fogger creates a thick cloud of fog that settles naturally from the ceiling down onto the floor. It marks a major advance over other fog machines that disperse bottom-heavy fog too low to properly fill a venue.
"The Jet Stream Fogger gets your fog up off the ground and into the air where it belongs," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ group of companies. "Complete floor-to-ceiling fog coverage is more realistic-looking and dramatic than fog that just lingers at your feet all night. It makes all of your lighting effects, especially ceiling-mounted centerpiece fixtures, look bigger and better."
Ideal for subtle movement of corporate logos and other retail, architectural, and theatrical applications, the Smart Move Vertical offers designers new creative opportunities, say Apollo. A DMX model is also available.

The linear ergonomic flow of the front panel controls, coupled with the visual feedback of level settings and source selection makes using the AV Stream totally intuitive, even for casual staff with no prior experience, says the company.
Up to four stereo audio sources and associated composite video feeds can be connected to the AV Stream, such as: tape/cassette/DVD/CD decks, TV/satellite/video audio, juke box / karaoke systems. Interlocking switches for each source ensure that there is no risk of accidentally selecting two sources for the one zone.
Each switch has an associated status LED for at-a-glance confirmation of which program source is active, and numbered panels above each switch allow labeling of

Aiming to build on the unprecedented success of Røde's existing shotgun-style VideoMic, the SVM is designed to capture detailed stereo audio.
Based on the company's ultra-low noise microphone technology, the SVM features an X/Y configuration that meets the challenge of professional stereo field recording by imposing a high level of rear noise rejection, whilst retaining the essential ambient sound of the recording environment, says the company.
The SVM attaches to the camera with a standard shoe-fitting, and includes a removable high wind furry windshield and an integral suspension mount, designed to prevent mechanical camera noise bleeding into the captured audio.
The SVM can be used on a stand or a boom pole and features t
The Cadac S-Digital is designed primarily for live theatre applications, building on the company's 20-year history at the forefront of theatre sound. In a major departure from conventional paradigms in digital console design, the S-Digital is specifically conceived to reflect the surface architecture of Cadac's industry standard J-Type analogue console.
The S-Digital combines the instant usability and familiarity of an analogue console with the acclaimed build quality, sound, ease of operation, reliability and unequalled return on investment that are the hallmarks of a Cadac console, says the company. It offers sound designers, producers and theatre owners a digital alternative to the Cadac J-Type
Each LED power supply is capable of dimming twelve (at 350mA) or five (at 700mA) LEDs. A unique feature, however, is the ability of the power supply to combine with up to 99 slaves each of which is capable of supplying a further twelve or five LEDs respectively, which means the entire system is capable of dimming up to 1,200 LEDs synchronously - and without any compromise in terms of safety, the SELV (safety extra-low voltage) being maintained at all times.
The series consists of three products: the PTDCCD 15/350mA or 700mA, with which the LEDs a

The tri-press also comes with a RAM1 batt
The Screen first debuted in September of 2005, driven by the major growth of LCD, plasma and rear projection televisions in the large scale display television and home theatre markets. Previous matt type screens were unable to clearly display images in a bright room, resulting in their usage being restricted to business conference settings and home theatres. However, DNP's Crystal Illusion Screen uses liquid crystals to efficiently reflect light from the projector while absorbing all other light, achieving the same level of ima
