"In true Mackie fashion, the FRS Series amps combine clean power and performance in a lightweight design," says Mackie product manager, Greg Young. "Fast Recovery means your sound stays clean, even when pushing them to their limits. These amps are perfect for the rig on-the-go, and give you more power for your dollar- so they won't break your back or your wallet."
The FRS Series include a high-resolution, six segment LED meter per channel, defeatable clip limiter, subsonic filter, and on-board protection circuitry (short, under-impedance, over-cur
Though free PC-Editor software is available, the DC-One can be operated via the front panel. Direct access buttons, six predefined configuration modes (one being free configuration), straightforward output delay settings, and true professional metering all allow for safe operation.
DC-One's 'front-panel-access-control' allows the user to select a personal library of accessible presets (out of 60 factory and 20 user presets). In addition, the user can determine which individual parameters in each preset
Designed specifically for theatre and live sound applications, Cadac's S-Digital represents a radical departure from other live sound console designs, by combining the familiar surface architecture, character and functionality of the Cadac J-Type, with the operational and creative benefits of digital audio control, says the company which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Comprising the FM6.2 (6" woofer, 6" tuned passive radiator, 1" tweeter) and the FM4.2 (4" woofer, 4" tuned passive radiator, 1" tweeter), the new members of the EVID product family offer "a combination of superb audio quality, sturdy sealed unit construction, and aesthetically pleasing in-wall design".
All components are housed in a shallow, fully-sealed enclosure for consistent performance and sound isolation from adjacent rooms. This low profile design also gives the FM series increased structural integrity: the specially designed ribbed back can eliminate flexing; the transformer is mounted on the back can surface, further enhancing sti
Equipped with over 250 LEDs distributed by colour into two pods, the Vue VI produces an extremely bright output that is reminiscent of a fireworks explosion, says the company. It incorporates the best of the Vue series and adds pod rotation. Weighing less than 7lb (3.2 kg), it consumes very little power, produces a beam angle of 110°, and has an additional power output.
With DMX control, the Vue VI becomes even more versatile, allowing control over red, green, blue, rotation speed and direction, and strobing. Where DMX control is not available, built-in sound activated programs provide a show that can be synchron
Featuring dual 350 watt amplifiers, the SB2A's switchable powered speaker output can drive either an external 8 ohm passive subwoofer or full range loudspeaker.
Typical SB2A-powered system setups include: with a ZX1-90, as a standalone PA that fits in the front seat of your car; in clusters with SX100/300; with a passive SB122, for portable lightweight sub extension to replace bulky 15-inch two-way systems (two 16kg packages vs. one 40kg package); with an additional powered top box (such as the SXA100+).
The SB2A shares the same injection-molded enclosure as EV's popular passive SB122 subwoofer. Both utilise the EVS12S woofer,
Alongside the Waveform range, Void Acoustics is spotlighting its Air Series loudspeakers with the Air Motion and Airten systems, together with the Stasys point-source and Arcline line-source high-end touring systems.

Cyclo IP65 can be programmed to generate smooth variations in light and colour, as well as 'daylight' variations in colour temperature from warm white to cool white. Each of the T5 tubes is electronically dimmable from 0-100%.
The Cyclo IP65 US version is available in a 54 W RGB model (Cyclo 03) with DMX interface. The luminaire comes in a UL approved polyester housing with a clear front cover. Luminaires can be surface-mounted or mounted on an adjustable bracket (available as an accessory) that can be tilted through 90°.
Cyclo fittings can be controlled in stand-alone operation or via DMX. For simp
DMX-Fix aims to solve compatibility problems arising from products not quite up to speed with the latest advances in DMX512 and RDM (Remote Device Management). DMX-Fix is a combined DMX512 splitter and data filter, which automatically removes any 'clever' information from the data stream, ensuring compatibility with older or out of specification fixtures and dimmers.
The DMX512 input is optically isolated and the product offers five independent DMX512 outputs. The product performs a number of automatic functions, including stripping all non-standard start codes, passing only lighting level data; correcting stop bits, en
The system is available in two formats, allowing the user to take advantage of the two price points on offer. The entry level version is the S5.3 which operates up to 12 simultaneous channels in nine banks within an 11MHz window (854-865MHz). Computer monitoring software comes as standard so users benefit from realtime system status. The S5.3 is already being recognised as a versatile performer and is proving particularly popular with semi-pro bands and theatre productions, says Trantec.
The S5.5 system caters for larger projects and can simultaneo
Versio VSS 15 is a completely digital system unit integrating a 15" subwoofer and three Class D amplifiers (1 x 750W + 2 x 500W) with a digital signal processor 24bit / 48kHz and weighs just 26kg. The analogue input signal is digitalised directly inside the input amplifier using an intelligent 24bit AD converter and remains digital to the Class D amplifiers' output. The new technology avoids conversion losses, increases the utilizing dynamic range and achieves a much better sound quality due to a precise reproduction of the audio signal, says the company.
Versio SD 3 and SD 4 are DSP-controlled active PA systems, while the Versio VL 240 is a small, powerful active 8" + 1" loudspeaker with two digital amplifiers of 200 W RMS bass/mid and 50W RMS power, which can be us
An updated version of the LightJockey software is now available that adds new fixture profiles for the MAC 575 Krypton, smartMAC, Exterior 1200 and Exterior 200 LED. Free of charge to all LightJockey users, Version 2.7.8 is available for download from the company's website.
New to LightJockey Manager is LED-Trix, a new LED effects engine for control of LED lights. The LED-Trix plug-in facilitates the programming of colour mixing fixtures, such as LED-based lighting fixtures. But it can do more then just LED lighting fixture control - any RGB, CMY, HSI, RGBAW or single dimmer channel can be controlled by LightJockey LED-Trix.

The primary purpose of the product is the automatic 'fail-over' switching between two lighting consoles. In automatic mode, the product senses data on its 'A' input. If DMX512 stops on any universe, the 'B' input is selected. Rail-Flip also features detail configuration. This allows, for example, the user to configure how to handle data returning on the 'A' input.
Rail-Flip can also be switched manually which allows it to be used as a source selector between different lighting positions.
The product can be cascaded to increase the number of universes. Status and data indicators show both data activity and switch status. Rail-Flip uses electromechanical relays which ensure that the product will fail safe in a power
To increase versatility and provide additional value, a third set of transformer-isolated independent (fixed gain) outputs are provided. The Square One Splitter also has the ability to function as a 1-16 media split.

The DIN Rail DMX Splitter provides six DMX ports and is designed with installers and system integrators in mind. The Splitter features a DIN Rail enclosure that allows easy mounting. All connections have detachable screw-connectors for a quick replacement of the unit.
The input port is protected through optical isolation, safe guarding the splitter/booster and its connected equipment against power surges and dangerous ground loops.
