Aside from the sheer size of a cabinet designed to house a 21" (530mm) transducer, Class D amplifier and full DSP, the ASX subwoofer "revolutionises ultra-efficient, low frequency sound reproduction -- achieving the highest ever SPL from a single low frequency enclosure housing a single drive unit".

The combination of transducer, amplifier and DSP provide double the output capability of a conventionally driven loudspeaker driver of the same size. When incorporated into a Martin Audio Hybrid horn design, the complete system can deliver a 152dB peak output (measured) from a single enclosure.

This is typically greater than can be achieved by two 2 x 18" (46

"We are very pleased to offer our popular Opti stage light with new, advanced Tri-Color LED Technology," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "This technology is a vast improvement over single-colour LED RGB fixtures, where if you were mixing, say, the colour magenta, only the red and blue lamps would be on and the green lamps would be turned off. By contrast, if you were creating magenta with the Opti Tri Par, all 18 lamps would remain on and only the green LED withi

The introduction of the PRO6 brings Midas digital technology to a more compact size and price point. The PRO6 has been introduced as "digital, with Heritage", invoking the legacy of its analogue predecessor the Heritage 3000 while taking Midas deeper into the digital realm.

The launch took place at the MYTH concert venue, where three PRO6 consoles were demo'd through the club's Electro-Voice X-Line sound system in a 5.1 listening environment. Guests had plenty of hands-on time with the PRO6 and the response to the system's feature set, work surface, and sound quality was uniformly enthusiastic, say the organisers.

Phil Knight, MD of Knight International, commented: "Our Antari Hz-400s have done some good years service for us and when I saw the prototype model of the new HZ-500 at the Frankfurt show back in March this year, I knew this was the machine I needed to replace them with. It is ideal as it is already flightcased, which is so important in pro rental markets these days! The machine has an incredible low noise which is also important on pro production and TV work, and it also produces a dry haze. I am very pleased with the new HZ-500s a

The large LEDs indicate incoming calls even from great distances, the company says. The call light may be inserted in the intercom signal chain via standard three-pin XLR connectors, and is therefore compatible with most so-called party line intercom systems. A recessed potentiometer allows variable reduction of the LEDs' brightness.
