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

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

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 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.

The SC 64 and SC 32 host a total of 64 and 32 analogue I/O respectively, configurable in banks of eight. The flexibility of eight analogue input cards and eight analogue output cards facilitates many different fully loaded configurations, accommodating a wide range of standard sources via the onboard mic/line and phantom power switching per input, the company says.

Two high-speed option slots on the SC 64 and one high-speed option slot on the SC 32 also provide an interface for adding forthcoming high bandwidth audio transport I/O cards.

The units feature dedicated DSP for common processing functions as well as insert positions for specialised processing and popular

EASE is one of the most established and widely-used acoustic prediction programmes available. However, until now, separate, plug-in DLL (Dynamic Link Library) software programmes have been needed to enable EASE to predict the performance of complex line arrays. The new GLL (Generic Loudspeaker Library) format included in EASE 4.2 is an advanced data format that allows for more accurate and sophisticated modelling of line arrays, clusters and columns.

From its introduction as a concept in 2005, Martin Audio recognised the GLL as a major step forward - with entire systems, including high-resolution complex acoustic data, crossover filters and mechanical properties all bound together in one file, says the company.

The flexibility of a GLL also allows implementation
