The long life of the Source Four HID PAR and PARNel lamps ensures they run for 12,000 hours - in comparison with the incandescent lamp of approximately 300 hours and the tungsten halogen lamp life of 2,000 hours. This means low maintenance - ideal for locations that can’t be reached often or easily. Source Four HID gives the level of performance of a 2,000 hour 575W Source Four lum
The internal Mosfet-based power amplifier develops an optimized 150W RMS with system protection provided by ARX's onboard I.S.C based proprietary analogue computer. AC mains input and loop through feature Neutrik PowerCon NAC series connectors for failsafe operation. Audio input and output is via locking XLR connectors.The trapezoid (7.5° taper) SPL8H cabinet features a full-length steel mesh protective grille with a stand mount fitted as standard. Optional rated flying points are also available. Weighing only 22kg, the SPL 8H's dimension
"This mixer has tremendous flexibility and the microphone options are particularly useful, " comments Ritzy's Sanjeev Kumar. "It gives you great control over everything and is ideally suited to the needs of the DJ. We will certainly be buying more of these," he adds.
The new PM-100 Freedom Series units build on the modul
The system is based on a principle Qube calls 'the Isophasic Plane Wave generator', which employs a true acoustic lens in the horn section, loaded with the two 1" HF high-compression neodymium drivers, resulting in a line-shaped source evenly distributed within the cabinet as well as with the line array. Qube says this allows high power and precise line arr
The AB-36 'Afterburner' is an advanced design aimed at demanding environments where pure bass power is the goal. New features include a signature front panel design which acts as a convection heat-sink to provide greatly increased thermal power handling with decreased power compression; a new 4" diameter voice coil; a new and contemporary cabinet and castor design; a universal pole mount and the choice of gray carpet or textured paint finishes.
Cerwin-Vega has also announced two further 18" folded horn bass cabinets. The JE-36 'Junior Earthquake' succeeds the LR-36 and features design improvements including a new enclosur
The exceptionally high power drive units have magnetic structures and suspensions engineered for maximum linear excursion. Extensive research by Martin Audio’s R&D team has led to the development of an exceptionally rigid high-pressure enclosure to minimize cabinet wall energy absorption. This maximizes electro-acoustic efficiency to give better bass definition and more punch from lighter power amp racks when compared with other manufacturers’ products.
The W8LS is constructed from internally braced multi-laminate birch ply, is fitted with generously sized handles and is supplied with a slam-latched wheelboard for fast
The unit also features an integrated 4.5mW laser diode. This mini laser beam, which extends the range of available effects, is positioned using the deflecting mirror. The Junior Scan comes in two versions: the Junior Scan 1, with a 24V/250W halogen lamp, and the Junior Scan 2, with a 150W d
The company has also recently introduced an extensive range of square LEDs in domed and flat lens options having 115° viewing angle in two dimensions, making these devices ideally suited to switch top and fascia illumination.

The Judges at the Exhibitor Show were impressed with many features of the truss, giving special mention to its pleasing good looks, versatility and branding capabilities. Many positive comments were also made about the weight of the truss (approximately 1lb per linear foot) and the reduced cost of drayage from loading dock to show floor.
In addition to the strong, lightweight and infinitely customizable carbon fiber truss, the acrylic p-wave version is now ready to ship.

A high-velocity radial blower and innovative ECO-Mass vaporizing system, combine with a VGA airflow system, allowing users to adjust the angle of the haze output to produce very small, highly refractive airborne particles - the ideal canvas of haze for today’s intelligent lighting systems. For increased flexibility, the amount of haze dispensed can be adjusted via on-board 3- and 5-pin fan speed and haze output control.
A 3-digit LED user interface and state-of-the-art digital electronics gives users easy access to DMX set-up, haze density and output control. A variab

Launching two wall-mount units and two ceiling mount speakers at the recent 2003 NSCA Expo, Tim Dorwart, vice president of the Commercial Division, said the new line represented an opportunity for affiliates to provide customers with a more comprehensive range of speaker options and added that DMX Music would continue to work with third-party loudspeaker manufacturers wherever the customer requirements dictated.
The new line includes two surface-mount loudspeakers, the SM104 and SM105, and two flush-mount speakers, the CM1525 and CM1525R. The SM104 is a wall-mountable loudspeaker featuring a 2-way design consisting of a 4-inch woof
All of the products in Stardraw applications now have at least one link, to the manufacturer's homepage, while other product ranges within Stardraw - BSS for example - already have links to dynamic pages on the manufacturer’s website that use a script to give users instant and sp

Monochrome glass gobos allow far more complex designs to be created than with traditional metal gobos - in particular, images can be created without the ‘tagging’ required to hold metal gobos together, or the gobos can contain high-quality photographic half-tone images. DHA’s monochrome glass gobos are produced to a resolution of 3600dpi as standard on heat-resistant, aluminium coated borosilicate glass.
The new same-day service has undergone extensive testing over the last few months. "This testing has proved highly s
Each valve becomes an integral part of its corresponding channel's pre-amplifier, adding the classic valve sound and ‘warmth’ to any signals that run through it, say the company. Careful circuit design ensures that noise and headroom are not compromised and enhances the even harmonics associated with thermionic valve technology.
Installation of the board is simple - the outer casing of the Xone:V6 is removed and the valve board ‘plugged’ in without further modification. The Xone:V6 mixer has been enthusiastically received by DJs and clubs worldwide and commended for
Each channel on the satin grey front panel features 30 of ARX’s new extended resolution long-throw, centre grounding sliders, switchable to either ±15dB or ±6dB, for the ideal combination of high fader resolution and maximum cut and boost. Additionally, there is a gain level control with up to +10 dB of gain; a Clip LED to indicate circuit overload, a sweepable 20-200Hz High Pass filter, and an In/Out hardwire bypass switch with optional transformer output.
The EQ 260 boasts a signal-to-noise ratio of 95dB un-weighted, a dynamic range of 120dB and Distortion lower than .004% at 100Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz.
