This virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by combining dynamic processing and EQ. Sidechain bands, which are independent of the processing bands, enable the high frequency content of a mix to control the low-end and vice versa. All processing is in 48-bit double precision, and may even be used in a phase linear mode, for much more transparent results. Dynamic EQ represents a new generation of mastering tools for PowerCore.
PowerCore is the open platform DSP engine for professional signal processing for Mac and PC. Its proce

Le Mark was presented with the award for the CAD Tag system, a simple but effective means of high level printed identification for all types of flown equipment. It utilizes a special self-adhesive tape that bonds rigid PVC laminates to form a printed 'tag' that can be secured directly to all types of lighting bars and trussing.
Commenting on the award, Le Mark's Stuart Gibbons said that the system was seen as a major breakthrough in visual awareness, both in terms of load safety and the positioning of flown equipment.

Mach says the new range has improved sound quality, as well as other improvements such as reduced speaker size, improved functionality, ease of installation, reduced service time, increased flexibility, and improved speaker strength. Advances have also been made in range and distortion levels, say Mach, and overall speaker design has been updated, while the cabinets are available in a wide range of colours.
The CN-7 and CN-8 have been specifically developed for natural sound reproduction in near field applications
Chris Full, from rental company Autograph Sound Recording, chose the 1788 microphone preamp for its reliability, features and multi-channel capabilities. Several units are in use on the UK and European tour of Fosse, the Tony Award-winning musical. The Aphex 1788 are in addition to the original system design by Jonathan Deans, and have been specified to accommodate all orchestra microphones, offering extra mic inputs on the front-of-house mixing desk. Another critically-acclaimed musical, We Will Rock You, also made use of the Aphex preamp. This time the 1788 was on the Madrid production, working with four Neumann microphones in an off-stage vocal booth,

The name change was implemented in light of the growing popularity its controllers have enjoyed in Europe, Australia and other areas of the world where the Elation brand is known, according to Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of Companies, the parent company of both LSC and Elation Professional.
LSC controllers are being marketed internationally by the same distributors, to the same customers, as our Elation lighting products, so it makes sense that they should have the same brand identity," commented Davies. "This is especially true because the Elation name has become so
Recent users include Scottish Opera for special effect lighting on its productions of Magic Flute, The Ring Cycle, Aida and Minotaur. Ian Irvine, lighting manager at Scottish Opera said: "Surelight was a phenomenal success, we would never have been able to illuminate the stage, costumes or props in the way intended without Surelight and we keep finding new ways to use it."
London's National Theatre used Surelight for its highly successful production of Philip Pullman's novel His
AKM's AK4730 exceeds Class-AB performance with Class-D efficiency. The input to AK4730 is digital and supports two-channel, 192kHz sampling. The chip combines a two-channel PWM modulator with pre-driver circuitry for external MOSFETs. Unlike other solutions that use two voltage levels for modulation (H-Bridge), AKM's Class D products utilize an advanced multi-reference E-Bridge architecture that achieves higher linearity and SNR performance for audio playback with fidelity closer to the original sound.
With an integrated driver, the AK
A modern, high-tech case joins together the two moonflowers of the Reflex 300. Two rotating mirrors - one on each side of the unit - reflect light beams from the 150W lamps and project 'twin' multi-dichroic colour patterns over a wide area. The beams themselves rotate to the beat of the music, resulting in even wilder pulsating movement. Another major improvement in the Reflex 300, say the company, is that it has no duty cycle and can run continuously all night. A high-velocity fan whisks heat away from the unit, so there's never any need to shut down to cool.
