Probably the most talked-about product on the show floor this year was the Kapas II lightweight LED display from Japanese company Komaden. It's a full-colour LED display system for permanent outdoor installations - but although drawing plenty of interest, it was too early for information on pricing or availability to be available.

DiGiCo was one of a handful of pro audio regulars at LDI. Dave Webster's time was split between the stand and the ET Live demo area behind the halls, where a number of live stages were set up to demonstrate show technology in real, live situations. "It has been really useful for us," said Webster. On stand, DiGiCo had new Aviom and EtherSound cards. The former allows the Aviom self-mixed musician-monitoring system to be routed direct from the console. The EtherSound protocol puts the engineer in control of running the loudspeakers, which is especially useful with self-powered PA systems.

France - ETC distributor ATF (Avab Transtechnik France) will be showing a range of ETC products on its stand at the forthcoming SIEL exhibition in Paris (12-15 February), including the newly launched ETC Source Four EDLT option, which is being seen in France for the first time. A Source Four equipped with the EDLT (Enhanced Definition Lens Tube) option competes with the optical power of a condenser-optics system but comes at a more affordable price. For crisper projections with greater acuity and higher contrast, only one thing can outperform the Source Four - the Source Four with the new EDLT.

Also debuting in the Source Four family are three new field angles, giving "a Source Four for every lighting throw distance", say the company. ETC's new Source Four 14° gives a powerful alternative for front-of-house positions where a 10° field would be too small or 19° too b

USA - Audio specialist Sennheiser will be unveiling its new Evolution e912 boundary microphone at the NAMM show in Anaheim. A companion to the e901 bass drum boundary mic, the e912 has been designed for speech, vocals and acoustic instruments, especially pianos and concert grands.

"The e912 is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications from musical instruments to theatre and opera stages, from conference and church lecterns to video conferencing," says Stephan Scherthan, Sennheiser's product manager for wired microphones. The prepolarized condenser microphone with half-cardioid pick-up pattern has a wide frequency response (20 - 20,000Hz) and a maximum SPL of 136dB. Its flat housing makes the microphone extremely inconspicuous, and being highly robust it can cope well with rough treatment.

A rubber plate on the underside of the e912 ensures that vibrations ar
