The KMS 104 plus is tailored to have an extended bass response, so it's especially suitable when extra weight is needed in the bottom end. For example, to enhance low end growl for female vocals and for any voices that need low-end enhancement. Having been developed with a wide range of professional vocalists, the KMS 104 plus delivers natural warmth, but without any loss in transparency, says the company.

In comparison with other handheld microphones, most of which use dynamic capsules, the KMS series, with its condenser capsules, has a high acoustic transparency, a wide frequency range and "excellent" feedback rejection.

All Neumann KMS microphones have a robust housing, tough enough for the rigorous demands of touring, and com

The new BB7 optics offer a 10 (spot), a 20 degree and a 35 degree (flood) angle - in one fixture. i-Pix has once again listened to the requests of lighting designers and operators to deliver a robustly built, highly tourable, environmentally conscious design-led product.

The three different BB7 beam angles now available are all homogenized without any colour striation within the beam. This eliminates the 'pixelation' and blocky effects associated with more 'standard' LED products, and is a feature that is central to the whole i-Pix BB range, says the company.

A new 'fast changeover' arrangement enables users and technicians to swap between BB7 optics in approximately a minute.

As speaker installations become larger and acoustics more complex, designing loudspeaker systems for public buildings can present major challenges.

In this respect, Bosch says it has long recognised a growing need for support tools for both designers and installers to help them design satisfactory installations. For the more complex installations, well known packages such as EASE, Catt-Acoustics and Ulysses are already supported by Bosch.

These packages are able to simulate all ranges of applications and loudspeaker types, but for installations with, for example, a lot of ceiling loudspeakers they are often found to be too difficult.

Windows-based, Rainbow allows simulation of complete systems, such as a main large format array complemented by a smaller delayed array and front-fills. Thus, its library of loudspeaker systems includes, not only the company's self-powered line array modules with built-in inclinometer (LX-V8 and LX-F6 with accordion-folded ribbon HF driver), but also models from its PHASE or ADP lines.

Jesús Fuentes, national sales director, comments: "Customers need to model a complete system. Generic software is OK if only a single array is used. In practice, however, fill systems are usually required. One must also examine what's happening in the horizontal plane, not just vertically. So the only way to

SceneControl is an automated control system which comes in three models - anything from a simple push button controller with start/stop, to a wall or pedestal mounted computer providing top of the range motion control, complete with a 3D visualisation of your performance space.

The new PowerLift hoist comes with electric braking - replacing the Weston style brake previously fitted - and the entry level model now comes with SceneControl 50 as standard. This means that even the most budget-conscious can afford a system which incorporates four user programmable and changeable presets.
