What makes the bracket particularly useful, say SSE, is that it mounts the sender unit onto the side of K1 cabinets: this means it can be mounted on any cabinet in the array, so in a configuration with K1 SUBS at the top of the array, ProSight can now be mounted on the top K1 cabinet, beneath the subs.

Following their recent purchase of K1, Jands Production Services in Australia has already purchased four ProSight Touring kits and have called it "the most practical inclimometer system available on the market for use with K1".

A complete K1 ProSight package consists of a ProSight Touring kit, a K1 Mounting Kit (pair of K1 brackets) and a K1 Prosight custom briefcase.

A crowd of 900 was gathered in the atrium space of the Great Court of The British Museum in central London, which event services supplier David Wise describes as "one of the most demanding environments we work in." His company Wise Productions is a preferred supplier to The British Museum, and, on this occasion, brought in a combination of Geo S1230 and PS10 cabinets to handle the speech-making.

Installation time was just 35 minutes to set up two Geo S1230 on tripods as main PA, and to arrange 12 PS10s around the stage as side, front and rear-fill. NXAMP 4x1s were used to power the system, NX242s to process it, and a Yamaha LS9-16 to mix it.

The BR20 lights use standard E26/E27 type, GU10 type and B22 type sockets. There are two models released - one for 110V AC and the other one for 220V AC. The sockets are specially designed so the LED can fit any lamp fixture. The GL-BR20 LED lamp is used for home security, flood lighting, spot lighting, accent lighting and local lighting, and with the special AC LED, it does not require a DC driver, reducing costs considerably.

The new LED lamp series from GlacialLight is also able to support the dimming function. Allowing a more diverse product to satisfy more customers.

As well as exhibiting many of the cars that have appeared on the show, the museum was able to turn an existing exhibition dome into the Top Gear Enormadrome, creating much the same atmosphere as is experienced by the show's live audiences in the Top Gear hangar from which the show is transmitted.

Offering significant advantages of the previous Proel Flash equivalent, the Flash12HA is the first Proel speaker system to be fitted with custom designed Celestion neodymium speakers - a 12" woofer and 1" compression driver. Significantly, despite the massive increase in power, the weight of the new Flash12HA is just 19kg as opposed to the previous 250 Watt model, which weighed 20kg.

UK distributors Proel (International) say the new Flash12HA delivers an extended bass response, a powerful, defined high-end and superb definition in the vocal range. It's designed for applications where no-compromise sound quality has to be matched with ease of portability and reliability.

The 1T-CT-421 Transmitter accepts resolutions of up to 1280x1024 and is a unity gain device, which requires no adjustments for the encoding of the signal. The included 1T-CT-422 Receiver has Gain and Equalization adjustments to compensate for cable runs up to 180m in length. This avoids the loss of high frequency portions of the signal and results in clear text and picture elements with sharp edges and no degradation.

Both units are supplied with TV One's space saving and twist secure locking power connector.
