Central to the AD-S28Tw's high performance prowess are a pair of 8" woofers outfitted with polypropylene cones for added protection in humid environments. The loudspeaker's bandpass enclosure incorporates a pair of chambers: one that is completely sealed, and another with a large port. Giving added precision to low frequency extension down to 36 Hz, the highly efficient design is further complemented by an onboard low-pass filter s
MD Tom Back states: "We participated at ISE three years ago and the attendance and importance of the show has grown significantly, also for us as a sound system manufacturer. The response from our visitors was very positive, although most of them mentioned that they would like to see a more "focused" show lay-out, with a concentrated pro-audio section, making their visit more efficient. Other than that, great show, good meets and leads."

XTA sales and marketing director Bill Woods commented: "Our flagship DP448 has been adopted by contractors and touring companies worldwide, as have the DP446, DP444 and DP424. However, we had not really filled the gap left in our range when we discontinued the classic DP226. Although companies use the 4 Series for all sorts of applications, it seems that the good old 2-in, 6-out speaker processor configuration for stereo three-way set ups just won't go away, hence the addition of the DP426!"
The DP426 shares exactly the same features a

While supping on Harveys Real Ale, visitors to the Plug & Socket will be able to see a demonstration of the new BVRD2M4 mini router and the new BVRD voice alarm controller. Also on the stand will be the OmniCare emergency voice communication system.
The BVRD2M4 Mini four zone voice alarm router retains many of the features of the well established EVAS BVRD2M router. However, it is small enough to fit alongside a VIGIL2 amplifier and power supply in one 19 mainframe.
The unit's four electronically balanced inputs have both independent priority and level settings, allowing for dual mode. Input one is configur
PbP is a dramatic development for the sector of actor tracking systems, reducing the degree of user input to a minimum. The new software brings a high degree of automation to the set-up process, which can now be completed quickly and without the skills of a trained technician.
