The onboard engine then processes this information in real time in order to instruct the projector to map projected light back on to the performer or object - even while the performer is moving. Additionally, the Spotlesslight can function in the reverse mode (projecting only around the object or performer), or a combination of both modes. The light projected back on to the performer can be white light or it can be from Spotlesseffects - hologram-like special effect
Unlike traditional speaker technology that relies on a moving coil, the F-Drive is powered by an exceptionally powerful magnetostrictive smart material that when placed on a resonant surface - such as a table top, glass, plasterboard or metal sheeting - causes the whole surface to vibrate, thereby turning it into a high quality loudspeaker with omni-directional, evenly distributed output, say FeONIC.The performance stats for the F-Series are likewise significant, it being able to range from 80Hz to 20Khz allowing it, for example, to match the performance typically experienced through a high-end home entertainment surround sound system.
However, the co
Billed as "the next generation of LED lighting effect", Fusion 672 is a rugged, lightweight batten - just over 1m long and weighing just over 3kg - each Fusion 672 contains 432 (72x6) individually controllable tri-colour LEDs with an ultra-wide viewing angle. Battens can be arranged in any pattern with the units oriented horizontally or vertically, packed tightly together or spaced apart to allow lighting through the array. Fusion 672 can serve as a video display, a lighting fixture, a light sculpture or anything in-between, say White Light.
Setup of even the most complex systems is easy: units are daisy-chained together by standard Cat5e cable. The layout of the units is specified

The BootiQue is a packaged professional sound system in a box. The 10" active band-pass subwoofer is powered by a 200W amplifier with two 85W amplifiers, contained in the same cabinet, to power up to eight BootiQue speakers. The amplifiers have an auto power facility which ensures complete silence from the speakers when no signal is present. Input gains can be set independently for the bass and mid/high and the input sensitivity selector ensures that a range of signal sources can be used including CD, computer or MP3. Input connectors are Phono, USB, RJ45 and iPod mini jack. Other controls are ground lift, phase reverse and EQ. Additionally, a fire alarm mute connector enables the BootiQue to be installed int

The new studio microphones in the 20 and 40 Series comprise the affordable AT2035 and AT2050 large diaphragm condensers and the high-performing AT4021 cardioid and AT4022 omnidirectional condensers.
The 20 Series are both side-address models, with the cardioid AT2035 designed to isolate sound sources while the switchable pickup pattern of the AT2050 allows omni, cardioid and figure-of-eight operation. The 40 Series microphones - which carry a lifetime warranty - are ideally suited to deliver sensitivity and natural response, and are perfect for use with acoustic string and percussion instruments.
In the Broadcast & Production range the new models are the BP4071 (also
Designed for optimal performance behind perforated screens, these loudspeaker systems were developed specifically for cinema, in collaboration with top industry creative and technical professionals, says the company. Meyer Sound's Cinema Experience series features screen channel loudspeakers, surrounds, subwoofers, and electronics that work together to deliver "remarkable clarity and power and that translate well across a variety of applications". The result is a complete, integrated system.
"In order to compete with expanding entertainment options at home, cinema exhibitors must of
New to the US manufacturer's COLORado series is the 2, 3, or 6-channel COLORado 1VW wash, producing variable shades of white from its 18 warm white and 18 cool white LEDs.

The Compact Adaptive Installation System, as it is called by its full name, is noteworthy not only for its extraordinary flexibility and sonic performance, but also for the ruggedness of its components. For example, the German-made mid/high unit sports a housing made of polyamide resin, an especially durable, weatherproof space-age plastic. Since injection-molded polyamide resin also happens to be highly antiresonant, it lends itself quite well for the construction of loudspeaker enclosures.

The PRO headphones are designed using S-Logic Natural Surround technology, an exclusive design to improve sound quality by using decentralised driver positioning. This moves the sound out of your head and into the space around you to create quality which resembles that of a live concert, without all the additional equipment. The S-Logic Natural Surround design projects the sound pressure at reduced levels by up to 3-4db and can potentially cut the risk of hearing damage by up to 40%, says the company.
As with all Ultrasone's headphones, the PRO range is designed with Ultra-Low-Emission (ULE) technology, which produces a low-frequency magnetic field. In traditional earphones, the magnetic radiation produced can be as much a
