The new metering is capable of displaying signal levels from mono through to 5.1 channels on each input, with a configurable lower area which can be used to display bus assignments, surround images or the History mode, where a scrolling audio waveform displays signal anomalies and highlights them for up to 50 seconds to allow the engineer to identify where the event occurred. Metering for 'layer 2' signals can also be viewed, while the Control Bay screen can be used to provide configurable user pages with up to 40m. When the TFT meter bridge is fitted, the external GC screen becomes an integral part of the chassis.

Andrew Richardson, managing director of Adam Hall UK comments, "The ARU04 is a unique
The resulting brightness is comparable to a traditional 650W Fresnel, while consuming only 5% of the energy. But the real news is it is now possible to vary colour temperatures from 2700 K to 3500 K without losing brightness.
This is a standard feature of the ParLite Led VariWhite and enables compensating for light contamination in the area in need of illumination: for example, maintaining the desired light temperature on a performer's face through the difficulties of ambi
The new variants incorporate cold and/or warm LEDs instead of RGB for a better white light quality and greater output. Ideal for highlighting skin tones, textiles, or set pieces, the MAC 101 white light variants are already finding use in touring applications as a front light, main light, blinder or beam effect.
The MAC 101 CT allows for easy changes in colour temperature from crisp cold looks to warm shades, and features simple intensity control. Each MAC 101 CT is colour temperature calibrated to ensure a high quality of white light and visual consistency across fixtures, a uniformity in light output that allows for seamless overlapping of beams on large stage and set areas.

On the drawing board for over six years, the X3 was finally brought to life at the behest of Show Atelier, EM Acoustics' Russian distributor, who saw X3 as an ideal product for their market. The system comprises a horn-loaded 15" LF drive unit, a horn-loaded 8" MF drive unit and six 1" compression drivers on a bespoke waveguide, creating a horizontal line source which allows X3 enclosures to be tight-packed together to form arrays.
The result, they claim, is a system that offers predictable horizontal coverage in any application, particularly those where high SPL is required. "The difference between X3 and other point sour
