Designed to be fitted by authorised Chroma-Q service agents, the Color Block Plus Replacement Engine provides "a cost-effective alternative to replacing the whole Color Block DB4 fixture - so it's kind to the environment as well as users' budgets".
The Color Block Plus Replacement Engine utilises the latest generation of LED and optics, resulting in over two and a half times the output (750 lumens) of the original Color Block DB4 (290 lumens) when the internal switch is set to full power.
For maximum convenience, it also features a Color Block DB4 emulation mode, to simulate the lumen output of the original LED engine when used alongside other first generation fixtures.

Pharos LPCs can send DALI ballast configuration and control signals via multiple RIO Ds, each connected to a local DALI bus with up to 64 ballasts. RIO Ds acting in Slave mode listen to all commands on the local DALI bus and transmit them back over Ethernet to the lighting controller to be used as triggers for the Pharos system.
With the convenience of single-cable installation using PoE, drag-and-drop DALI patching and timeline programming in Designer software, the Pharos RIO D is a ground-breaking new solution for DALI installations, says the company.

The SIEM2 joins the JTS range of microphones and professional audio products at a time when increasing numbers of performers are making the switch to in-ear monitoring and offers the usual JTS combination of a high quality professional specification product at an affordable price, says the company.
The SIEM2 also addresses a major objection from performers to the use of in-ear systems - the common complaint that they leave the user feeling isolated from audience feedback. With the SIEM-2, performers can connect an optional lavalier microphone to the beltpack, allowing them to hear stage and audience ambient noise.
Operating on channel 70, 863-865 MHz, the JTS SIEM2 is ready to go and licence free for use in the UK.
