Recent introductions will include the new Kanguro 2008 system ("the speaker within a speaker"), the previous version of which won a PLASA Award for Product Excellence and (like its predecessor) is able to ensure 130dB SPL of to
Core Ti models are: three stereo power amplifiers - Ti 1000 (500W/channel into 4 ohms), Ti 1500 (750W/channel into 4 ohms), Ti 2000 (1000W/channel into 4 ohms), one 4-channel power amplifier - Ti 4-250 (4 x 250W/channel into 4 ohms), all of which include remote level, mute, standby and load monitoring; the Ti Bridge and the Ti Breakout Box, which together allow routing of analogue audio onto and off Cobranet and Ethersound networks. The Ti Bridge and the Ti Breakout box can be either 8 or 16 channel.
These new GX Series amplifiers are taking aim at the needs of musicians, DJs, and performers of all description, says the company. At 8 ohms, the GX3 and GX5 are rated at 300 and 500W respectively, offering the continuous power capacity needed for a majority of common passive loudspeakers in use today.
Both GX amplifiers are equipped with all the input and output connectors needed for compatibility with virtually any source, loudspeaker, or wiring scheme. The lightweight design of the amps combines with the compact size to make either model easy to move or mount within small, portable racks. Both the GX3 and GX5 feature straightforward user-selectable functions accessed v

Due to the typically small pick-up distance with vocal microphones, the proximity effect of the cardioid capsule was compensated to achieve absolutely neutral transmission of even the subtlest vocal nuances. A slight treble boost ensures an open and detailed sound without ever being obtrusive, says the company.
The stainless steel basket with multilayer gauze and additional inner basket, already used in the interchangeable microphone capsules of the Opus 900 wireless series, provides protection against pop sounds. It is easy to clean and significantly improves rear-attenuation and hence feedback suppression.

Flex Array is a medium-scale professional sound reinforcement system that combines elements of Turbosound's patented point-source system with well proven line-array technology, resulting in a one-box-fits-all loudspeaker product suitable for a variety of venue types.
By simply changing the orientation of the cabinet, one enclosure type is capable of being used in either line-array or point-source configurations. The ability to rotate the mid/high waveguide within the enclosure gives additional flexibility of use from only one type of box.
The all-new Flex Array system has been designed from the ground up, resulting from a three-year development cycle closely related to the development of
Two new mini-shotgun models are being added to the 8100 Series, offering "improved audio performance in a neat slimline design".

The first W-DIM for W-DMX product will operate from 6V to 30VDC and provide four outputs of 200W each in a small and compact package. W-DIM uses a high-efficiency switching power supply and high-frequency PWM dimming resulting in minimal heat and power loss. Dimmer outputs feature thermal and overload protection and under most fault conditions individual dimmers will disable themselves until the problem is corrected.
"We are very excited that RC4 Wireless has joined our rapidly growing W-DMX OEM programme with their W-DIM product. Battery operated low voltag
The Vi Series stagebox is the main input/output interface for the system, with up to 64 mic/line inputs and 32 line outputs available, or AES/EBU digital cards can take the place of mic/line I/Os.

ZED's effects are divided into four types: tap tempo delays, short reverbs, long reverbs and modulation. They are controlled by three buttons for easy navigation and editing, allowing the parameters of each effect to be quickly 'dialled-in' to, for instance, pinpoint the ideal delay time or amount of reverb.
"Much like the ZED range's build and construction, Allen & Heath's approach to the effects was with professional standards and quality in mind. ZED effects are designed by
The newly available Frontier will be on display further demonstrating the commitment Visual Productions has taken towards designing products for fixed installations.

The DL.3 digital automated lighting fixture, featuring an integrated media server, takes projection possibilities to the next level with a number of new features, says the company.
DL.3 is equipped with a 6500 lumen 3-chip LCD projector. A high 2000:1 contrast ratio results in a dark 'video black'. The projection possibilities on DL.3 are expanded with new lens options for longer throw projection applications. Also new in the DL.3 is an SDI input/output for professional AV applications.
A new projection feature includes an innovative DMX-controlled vertical lens shift function. This allows the user to set the lens shift function by DMX cue and thus reduce the amount of keystone correction required to produce a normalised image.
