At the exhibition, Cornered will show a new version of the existing Cornered top-boxes. The SU - Speak-Up - versions combine Speaker and Uplight in one practical solution. The SU versions feature an LED spot in either the top and/or bottom plates delivering up- and/or downlight. The LED uplight works well with the flush mountable Cornered cabinets, so the SU versions gives customers an opportunity of getting ambient light without installing separate lighting fixtures, says the company.
Different LED sports are available, starting with a 1,2watt/40 lumens LED which is connected through a DC plug integrated in the recessed speaker cable terminal.

The ShowTex Mesh Fabric Profile is a solution for attaching no-sew netting to ceiling truss. Sprinkler ceilings can be created by simply attaching the profile to truss, stretching any kind of mesh fabric over the steel profile's integrated pins, and closing the sliding cover. The pins allow for one-step fabric adjustment and the attractive cover makes it unnecessary to finish fabric edges. The Mesh Fabric Profile comes standard in black with a length of 2m long and can be easily attached to truss constructions with specially designed profile clips.
The new profile is only one of the many new ShowTex products to be presented at PLASA09.
The self-powered JM-1P arrayable loudspeaker system provides precise horizontal control in a seamless, tight-packed array, while exhibiting an impressive power output of 138 dB max peak SPL at one metre, says the company.
The JM-1P's consistent polar response and trapezoidal enclosure allows for tight-packed arrays with each JM-1P cabinet adding 20 degrees to the horizontal coverage of the array, with minimal overlap in high frequencies. An array of three JM-1P loudspeakers provides 60 degrees horizontal coverage; an array of four JM-1P loudspeakers provides 80 degrees of horizontal coverage,
IBC offers international customers and press their first chance to see the new system since it was announced earlier this summer. Known as the RUCK (Rycote Universal Camera Kit), it offers videographers, video production companies and consumers everything they need to protect high-quality camera-mounted mics from wind noise and unwanted vibrations from the camera's operator and motor when working on location, says the company.
The kit's InVision Video Mount assembly is based on Rycote's patented vibration-resistant Lyre shockmount technology and accepts microphones from 19 to 25mm in diameter, including the popular flat-sided Sennheiser MKH range. The mount's dual Lyres can be placed at different distan
The MAC 250 Beam upgrade kit consists of a new front module with micro Fresnel lens and a set of six beam effect gobos/apertures. It converts any standard Martin Professional MAC 250 Wash into a MAC 250 Beam in a matter of minutes, bringing new life and value to existing MAC 250 Wash fixtures for very little cost, says the company.
The MAC 250 Beam's intense light output and tight beam make for a powerful mid air effect. The output is optimised via a glass cold light reflector.
A large diameter micro Fresnel lens produces a distincti

The PROPAR 56RGB will "bring a rainbow to any stage with its ability to create thousands of colours through smooth RGB mixing". Equipped with 12 red, 12 green and 12 blue 1-watt LEDs, it can change colours fast or slow, strobe in any colour, and perform gradual fades via 0-100% electronic
The MAC 401 Dual is a versatile LED moving head washlight with an innovative double-sided design that gives it flexible dual functionality, for example as a double washlight or beam reflective mirror. The 401 Dual's colour mixing system fully blends colours at the source before they leave each lens, eliminating the problem of rainbow shadows and the messy multi-colour lens looks of traditional LED fixtures.
The MAC 301 Wash is an LED
The RJ45 Buffer is an RJ 45/DMX serial data distributor. DMX in and through can now be via 5-pin or 3-pin XLR or RJ45 - if this option is chosen at the time of order.

"Practically, the only part of the original project is the basket" - confirmed Flavio Naggi, FaitalPRO overseas sales manager , "a year of continuous improvements because it just did not respect the design input of both the marketing and the R&D department. Therefore, we went back to the drawing board, worked a lot on the details, adopted a number of special solutions and materials, and in the end we achieved the product we wanted."

The digiTILE range is officially launched at PLASA09 although it is already in production for clients in the UK, Norway, Belgium, France, Lebanon and Austria, with more prestigious projects in the pipeline.
The digiTILE range uses a standard mechanical platform for all pixel pitches. Each tile is 400mm wide, 300mm high and 82mm deep making it the slimmest conventional LED product on the market today (although digiFLEX from the same manufacturer is only 7mm deep).
The digiTILE housing is moulded using a high pressure injected reinforced polymer contributing to the low weight of 23kg per square metre for indoor and 28kg for outdoor products. Each tile is capable of front or rear access for service and can quickly be installed into a digiFRAME, measuring
The new Macro-Tech i series also features dual-port capability. An additional network port now allows a user to daisy chain the network control down the rack of amplifiers instead of having to run a separate cable from a switch to each individual amplifier.
