The XL8 v1.11 software allows the user not only to crossfade fader levels on a global basis, but to configure one or multiple groups within each snapshot recall, which can fade up and down, and at different rates of change. These 'morph' groups can be used perform the more common fader transitions, but other console parameters such as bus sends and pan positions, including surround imaging, can be programmed to morph between two states, as automated timed events.
Fade-in and fade-out times can be configured separately, and speci
Since the acoustic issues in the room can compromise the quality of the mix, the MSC1 includes JBL's RMC Room Mode Correction Technology that tunes the monitor system to overcome low frequency problems in any room. The MSC1 works with any speaker system.
The MSC1 provides the ability to monitor up to three two-channel input sources, such as a mixing console, computer workstation, and personal music player while controlling the volume of the monitor system and connected headphones.

The unobtrusive iDMX7 can be mounted virtually unnoticed in a ceiling or room corner and operated with the infrared remote from distances of up to 32.8ft. The only thing visible to the eye is the little 'red eye' of the infrared sensor.
Designed for entertainment venues, special events and architectural applications, the iDMX7 can control up to 512 DMX channels. It can record and playback programmes from any universal DMX-512 controller, such as Elation's Show Designer or Compu DMX control software. The iDMX7's memory can store up to seven minutes of 512 continuously-changing channels - or an even longer time frame if fewer than 512 channels are used.

Launched in 1999, the H3000 became a favourite on tour riders and at festivals and live events across the world, both for its familiarity of use and sonic quality. The H3000 continues to sell alongside the new generation of Midas digital consoles - the XL8 and PRO6 - and remains a regular fixture at international festivals, say Midas.
"The H3000 typifies what Midas is all about: a production life span in excess of 10 years; ultimate sound quality; an easy to use control surface, long term on-the-road reliability - all linked to an amazing return on investment for the owner," says Midas and Klark Teknik's sales and marketing director David Cooper. "It's been great to see the H3000 lined up with the new PRO6 at cou
The XTi series can be acoustically and mechanically modelled using the proprietary Soundvision 3D simulation software or with the EASE/CATT data for acoustic design consultants. The XTi series bring cost-effectiveness and flexibility for installation projects thanks to a rationalized production and the implementation of the hybrid and flat presets in the new LA-Network Manager 1.2, says the company.
The XTi series point-source technology is suited to distributed applications in semi-reverberant spaces where a single reflected source offers a more coherent
"With over 800 systems sold and still in use around the world, we want to ensure that we can provide our customary high-level of technical support to PM1D owners in the years ahead," states Nick Cook, European marketing director for Yamaha Commercial Audio.
"As a result, we will regrettably be forced to cease the manufacture of new PM1Ds when those currently in production are completed."
Introduced in 1999, the PM1D revolutionised the live concert and theatre industries. Despite products by other manufacturers fol

Now, the new BRK5LR7 extends the versatility of the LR7 micro line-array system even further: With this swivel yoke, up to five LR7 cabinets in stand-configuration and up to seven LR7 cabinets in flown configuration can be stand or truss mounted.
A special feature of this yoke-mounting solution is that full curving functionality is maintained, thereby enabling a complete pole-mounted full-sized line-array system.
Both the five unit and seven unit configuration can be connected to one single ALC amplifier channel, for a very efficient system lay-out.
The yoke is connected to the middle cabinet with two connecting plates on the side of the cabinet, secured with two quick-release pins each. The connecting plates are attached to the yoke with conical joints, c
Aside from the pre-programmed CTO whites and HSV colour mixing, additional features include pre-programmed and user-programmable macros, master/slave operation and three operating modes.

The award judges congratulated the ETC Selador fixtures for "taking a significant step towards the ultimate goal of energy efficient incandescent replacement lighting." They continued by pointing out that "ETC has developed this LED fixture with a colour output that gets close to the spectral curve of traditional incandescent source, thereby making LED technology a step closer to wider use in theatres and similar applications."
Outside of the awards, the PLASA show was, says ETC's promotions and advertising manager for Europe, Rosi Marx, a complete success, with product specialists giving demonstrations throughout the four days. "Although visitor numbers seemed to be down, in general we had a very busy
The quoted lifetime of 50,000 hours for the LED light source also makes the MidiLED suited to architectural applications, say Spotlight. The single fixture has a modular structure and it can be assembled in line or arrays, depending on the need. Each single unit can be used in stand alone mode, with preset light shades or dynamic effects; alternatively it can be controlled via DMX, both to generate colour effects, and to select different colour temperat

Using LAPS, a designer can quickly enter an array design and assess its performance. LAPS can model a full sound system, including main arrays, secondary arrays such as delays and front-fills, and subwoofers.
After the final system design is chosen, LAPS provides full rigging specifications. LAPS includes comprehensive checking of rigging working loads, and will not predict performance of rigs which it considers to be unsafe.
The new version includes a special page for predicting coverage of subwoofer arrays. Proper use of this page will in many cases result in significant bass coverage and quality improvement at little or no additional cost, says the company.
