Previewing for the first time in Europe is LSC's soon-to-be-released lighting desk, Xtc. This powerful and stylish desk is based on the proven maXim engine and advanced moving light control from the popular PaTPad touch screen module. It offers a multit
Logic brings unparalleled functionality to complex applications. For example, room combining systems can be constructed that automatically reset EQs, delays and source and output routings depending on the physical states of room dividers. Classic 'computer logic' functions are used to accomplish this, such as AND, OR, NOR and NAND gates, as well as triggers, logic pulses and truth tables. Careful pre-engineering and the use of external control inputs can result in systems that perform complex automated tasks triggere

Despite its slim profile, compact size (38 x 43 x 30cm) and light weight, H.A.R.D. 45 SP can produce a peak SPL of 129 dB/1m, thanks to its built-in PWM amplifiers supplying 2-way (low and high) power to the speakers mounted in the enclosure, say Outline. With four special 5" mid-woofers (the same as those mounted in the Micra II enclosures) and a compression driver with a 1" throat loaded by the same S.P.R.W.G. (Single Parabolic Reflective Wave Guide) used for the other models in the range, H.A.R.D. 45 features, among other thi
New on show will be the LR14B, the ultra-compact, lightweight, high-output bass module of the LR14 line-array, with double Neodymium 12" in double-tuned band-pass configuration. The LR14B combines a very low weight with very high specific SPL output, making the LR14B an excell
The new junction temperature, achieved by a complete redesign of the Luxeon package, represents a 50°C increase (from 135°C to 185°C) over other Luxeon products and a 60°C increase over other high-power LEDs. It offers the highest allowable operation temperature of any power LED product on the market by a wide margin, say Lumileds. Ben
The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, held annually in Las Vegas, requires a powerful system with reliability, and rapid programmability. Marty Canavan, chief show designer for YLS Entertainment, says he found all of this in the X1: "When I am on a show like the National Rodeo Finals, where I have maybe 10 nights of live performances to light and another half dozen pre-programmed laser and light shows to create, it all boils down to one thing: how fast can I get it right? When it comes to programming a show, time is the one thing

The PC90 absolute phase checking system incorporates a separate emitter and receiver module, which can be used with its internal speaker and microphone or can connect via XLR to test phase accuracy throughout any audio system. The PC90's broadband pulse can detect phase inversion regardless of time delay
Martin says that the scanner produces "surprisingly powerful, brilliant effects from separate colour and gobo wheels. With 15 gobos plus open, 15 rich colours including white and five mixed colours, as well as a split colour option, the SCX500 powers out shows like larger scanners but with all the convenience and savings of its class."
Highly portable, the SCX500 is DMX controllable for ultimate manageability. And as with all Mania products the SCX500 is officially ETL, cETL and CE approved meaning users are assured of the fixtures' safety and performance.
Martin says the Mania SCX500 is "ideal for any show, club, or party and will be appreciated by DJs and
"Since the beyerdynamic conferencing system was being placed in a secure facility, we had to configure it in a different location and train the officers how to move it back to their site," says Greg Lukens, vice president of Washington Professional Services, the company that undertook the installation.
"The fact that this product is a portable system is integral. The product's digital encryption system allows the user to facilitate the product in a secure manner. It minimises the ability to overhear and eavesdrop into top secret conversations."

"Digital signal transmission is becoming more and more important in the Pro Audio world. With these digital connectors, Neutrik eases the integration of digital tools in the sound studio environment, offering convenient connections of any hardware using any of the two standard Bus technologies," says Neutrik's marketing director Norbert Nachbauer.
"The chassis of the USB and the FireWire connector fits to the D-panel cut-out established by Neutrik, which is universally accepted throughput the Pro Audio market. This makes the upgrading of existing consoles and panels remarkably simple - unscrew a no-longer required S-chassis connector and replace it with a NAUSB
Designed for touring, rental or fixed installation applications, the new system is billed as "ideal for applications that do not require the higher power or greater throw distance of the original MILO, or in smaller venues that cannot support the weight or size of MILO". It can also be operated as a complement to a MILO main system. For example, a tour playing venues of varying sizes could carry both MILO and MICA, using MILO for main arrays with the new system for sidefill in larger venues and MICA for main arrays in smaller venues.

Aiming to fill the gaps in the existing catalogue, DHA's creative team has put together a collection of new images from pantomime phrases to exotic breakups. Each design has been carefully tailored to meet designers' expectations then projected, evaluated, tweaked and remade. The end result is a range of gobos that DHA is understandably proud of. As Diane Grant, MD for DHA commented, "DHA is known throughout the world as the place to come for gobos. It is our responsibility to keep applying a fresh approach to the catalogue and to reinvest in its development. Even as a non-lighting designer, I know that some of these designs are beautiful and I can't wait for people to start us
