This year at NAMM the main attraction of the stand of WORK will be the release of the Arion series, a new line of high quality loudspeakers, designed for the most demanding users. The first two models of the series will be available at the stand. These models are two Line array systems with an excellent acoustic response, which gives a first indication about the quality of the forthcoming loudspeakers of the Arion series.
People in the trade interested in amplification will have the opportunity to discover Zenith 6000, a power amplifier with up to 6000 W and only 14.6 kg. It is the first time that this powerful model has been shown in the United States.
The processor WPE 26 N is another new product fromWORK this year. It is a digital system for loudspeaker management with network connection. Its OSC protocol allows remote control through Wifi, using iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), Android and Windows devices.
At ISE, WORK will show the new Blueline Digital. This revisited version of the Blueline system is based on multichannel audio distribution through TCP/IP network. It takes advantage of digital streaming and provides users an efficient way to design distributed audio systems with many features, as well as being a scalable, multichannel system.
DCA-1 is one of the other key products of the stand. It is an audio matrix (eight inputs / two independent outputs) with built-in amplifier. This independent two-zone system, with class D amplifier and up to 120 W per zone, can be remotely controlled through RS 232, RS 485 and/or DMX. In addition, it is compatible with LM-5 so it can be managed by Wifi using the most known mobile devices of the market.
Taking into account users' feedback, the software team of the brand has developed a new version of WORKCAD, the software designed to control and programme the products of the brand. This new version will be shown for first time during ISE 2013.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover the many advantages of LM-5, an innovative and competitive device which allows the remote control of audio and lighting installations using mobile devices. Its high value for money puts audio and lighting control within everyone's reach.
