Exhibiting on Stand 7-M176, a highlight will be products from the Commercial Installation Solutions (CIS) series. Making its first appearance in Europe, the CIS series is a range designed specifically with ease of installation and use in mind, says Yamaha. The CIS series has been devised to provide a complete system solution for situations where there isn't an experienced audio operator available to manage it - for example in restaurants, retail outlets, transport hubs, public buildings, convention centres and function rooms.
The first CIS series products include the MTX matrix processors, XMV multi-channel amplifiers, VXC ceiling speakers and VXS surface mount speakers - all featuring Yamaha's renowned digital technology, quality and reliability at a competitive price. Using Dante technology and Yamaha's YDIF cascade bus, users will be able to conveniently share audio and connect with all Yamaha CIS products, as well as other professional audio products on a digital audio network.
Yamaha products are suitable for every kind of integrated installation, from the smallest to the biggest. This will be reflected in the products on show at ISE2013. Loudspeakers will include the feature-packed DSR, DXR and DXS series, which deliver exceptional audio quality and flexibility from technically advanced designs, as well as the ever-popular Installation Series models.
Mixing consoles will range from the 2u rackmount IMX644 through to O1V96i digital mixers, including the compact MGP range which makes optimum use of both digital and analogue technologies, while Yamaha's extensive range of high quality power amplifiers will be fully represented.
In addition, staff will be available to discuss the company's latest Active Field Control system, AFC3, with consultants and venue owners. AFC is an acoustic conditioning system, which transparently adjusts and enhances the acoustic characteristics of a space, while preserving its natural features. The versatile system enables the same venue to generate a different ambience for different types of performance and also to enhance areas which may suffer from acoustic deficiencies - for example adding a sense of 'spaciousness' to under balcony or stage areas, so that all audience members and performers can enjoy the same sense of connection to the music and a greater shared experience.
ISE 2013 takes place at the Amsterdam RAI from 29th - 31st January.
