The NX 15-SMA is equipped with a new high power digital amplifier and a newly designed coaxial neodymium transducer that "guarantee outstanding audio quality and definition as well as an extremely lightweight of the final system". It can be used as a portable PA system, thanks to the powder coated steel pole mount installed on the side.
In order to control the response of the speakers in such different applications, RCF has incorporated two special equalisation modes - Floor, for stage monitoring and Free Field, for the use of the speakers as a stand-alone PA system.

The SW Series includes two new models and an update to the existing FLASH15S, which has been renovated and renamed.
All the SW models feature large voice coil (VC) woofers and a band-pass design, providing "very punchy and dynamic lows together with an extended low frequency response". The class H and class D amplifier modules can generate up to 1000W of continuous power in a compact package.
The SW118H and SW115H models combine advanced technical characteristics with, respectively, state-of-the-art 18" and 15" Celestion neodymium speakers, plus powerful 1000W and 500W class D amplifiers, says the company.
The series is completed with the SW115 model which has a 15" speaker with 350W class H amplifier.

These are medium-low power loudspeakers "with absolutely respectable performance, but are above all dedicated to a budget conscious market" which demands a slightly "more competitive" price; with nominal power ranging between 130 and 150 W, 37mm (1.45 in.) voice coils and efficiency between 95 and 96 dB.
The new 4FE30 model is developed from the already successful 3FE20, but is larger in size, 100mm (4"), while maintaining the same electromagnetic structure and voice coil diameter, but varying the cone, now in fiberglass, and the basket.
The HF 104 is the new high-frequency driver by FaitalPRO with 37mm voice coil, 1" mouth,
With the technical features, the design and flexibility of the product, the TTL33 is popular and has a demand from the end-users, and this has given the product its own award, namely the unit No 5000 is supplied, and this is a milestone for this model.
"Having 5000 units working in professional applications worldwide is a great step for our TT+ line. We listened to views of the industry when we designed the 'mini array', and it looks like the we have targeted the TTL33 at the right sectors," says Alessandro Manini, director of research and development.

Similar to lighting consoles, Maxedia now features a cuelist for automation. From simple drag and drop of cues through an intuitive user interface, cuelists are quickly built and ready to play back.
Complementary to the cuelist is new timecode input. MIDI and SMPTE timecode can be used to synchronize one or multiple Maxedia systems together.
The Maxedia engine now supports up to 8 HD SDI inputs simultaneously. Using the newly added MCC capture card, latency is kept as low as two frames per second, turning Maxedia into a super powerful video switcher. In addition to the high speed ca
"We are excited to extend our triple capsule array and four recording patterns from computer-only and into the studio with Yeti Pro," said John Maier, CEO of Blue Microphones. "We recognize the need for truly professional recording quality in a high resolution USB microphone with the versatility to take the mic's distinct recording capabilities into the studio, thanks to its analogue output."

Schedulon 3.0 retains the flexible options for instant, manual playback of user-loaded audio from a front-panel screen and push-button knob, while improving the automatic playback functionality through down-to-the-second scheduling, says the company. This gives operators the flexibility to create tighter user-defined playback schedules based on an internal clock or synchronized network time server.
A nearly 200 percent increase in data transfer speeds considerably improves file upload times - especially appropriate for operators recording fi
Suitable for 8 Ohm or 70V/100V line applications, the series is comprised of seven products. The full-range, standard-depth back-can models are the 60W 4.5-inch D4, the 100W 5-inch D5, the 100W 6.5-inch D6, the 150W 8-inch D8 and the 200W 10-inch D10.

The new Tannoy loudspeaker range, in the form of VX Series, will be given its international debut at the show, with the full line-up of new cabinets on display including examples of the self-powered variant VXP Series, boasting newly developed integrated Lab.gruppen amplification.
The new range heralds a number of advances in Tannoy's core offering to the pro sound reinforcement market as well as marking the dawn of a ground-breaking collaboration with Lab.gruppen on the self-powered line - the first product of its type to feature both Tannoy and Lab.gruppen technologies, says the compa
The £286K order incorporates a wide variety of equipment including Ion, Eos and Element control desks, Source Four Profile, Source Four Junior, PARnel, and PAR luminaires, control accessories and Sensor and Unison Paradigm dimming. These products will be deployed across several of Northern Light's ongoing installation projects.

"Previously, the dB Check was only programmed for Sensaphonics models," notes company president D. Michael Santucci. "But due to consumer requests, we decided to include the new Shure SE Series as well. Now users of both companies' earphones can tell exactly how loud they are monitoring, and how long they can do so safely."
When plugged in between the sound source and earphones, the Sensaphonics dB Check provides a real-time readout of the in-ear sound pressure level (SPL) in dBA, along with the number of minutes of daily exposure under both NIOSH and
The TH100 has exactly the same controls and pre-amp section as its smaller sibling, but when running in class AB1 (half power) it makes 35 watts on two output tubes and 70 watts on four output tubes, says the company. Put it to full power (AB2 position) and the amp makes 50 watts with two output tubes and 100 watts with four. Being able to switch to half power means you can reduce the listening volume while preserving the power tube distortion.
Just like the TH30, the TH100's design features the best of the Rocker and TH Series, with two channels.
The new head will come with four EL34 tubes, four 12AX7 pre-amp tubes and a 12AT7 for the low impedance FX loop. It will also have four internal bias pots so the output tubes can be matched into the amp by a q

Both indoor/outdoor wash lights feature RGBWA colour mixing. The use of red, green, blue, white and amber LEDs offer more colour mixing and better colour rendering. Additionally, both feature five distinct dimming curves, an ingress protection rating of IP66, a pressure-equalizing Gore valve, colour temperature presets from 3,200 K to 10,000 K, built-in automated programmes, and a durable, heat-dissipating housing. They are designedfor theatres, outdoor productions and festivals and cover anything from a cyc to an entire stage with just one fixture, says the company.
The products differ in the amount of LEDs and the lenses featured in each fixture. COLORado Range IP has a total of 180 5W, RGBWA LEDs, two independently adjustable panels, and 15- and 30-degree lenses in
