In accepting the need to introduce a passive range of cabinets the design team knew that just another passive box would not produce the quality our dealers and end users had come to expect of KV2, says the company. After several months of R & D the answer came in a revolutionary analogue delay line that allows perfect time and phase alignment of the components within the box but without the use of active electronics. The end result is a range of three passive speakers with flat response, high output and consistent coverage.
Applications include AV and hire for corporate events, high quality speech reproduction, music playback for installation or live use and studio monitors. ESD is also commonly utilised as peripheral or

Thanks to its self stabilizing design, and its use of the PA equipment to self-ballast the structure, this system requires no external ballast blocks or guy cables in most applications. The system has been fully engineered, and allows PA systems to be flown in conditions up to 40 mph 3 second wind gusts.
Users can cover the inclined mast with graphics for additional signage space by reducing the maximum wind speed to 30 mph. With the exception of the corner junction, head block, and tower supports, all components are st

Based around Robert Juliat's 600SX Series profile, the Aledin™ benefits from the famed double condenser optical system and retains all the features of a standard Robert Juliat profile.
Aledin's low power consumption is of value where power availability is limited, whilst the choice of colour temperatures make it equally at home in a theatre or opera house lighting rig, whether tungsten or discharge. Aledin is also suitable for environments such as historic theatres or museums, since there are no UV or IR emissions to damage sensitive fabrics or exhibits.
The Aledin LED Profile Spotl
