Each load bearing span across the stage can now carry up to 7.5 tons UDL at 25m span. Additional spans can be located in the 20m and 25m systems at 0.62m centres. Roof capacities of over 100 tons are now easily achievable.

Pete Holdich, director of stages for the company comments: "We trialled a few sections of this new truss at several festivals in 2010 and have now made a big investment to enable us to allocate several uprated spans to each roof in 2011. This puts our VerTech system in the upper echelon of world class heavy duty roofs for tour and festival use."

Within the SPX family, each model is optimised for a specific coverage or function. In those situations where one point source cabinet will not deliver the necessary SPL or coverage, the SPX-65's neatly fills the gap, says the company.

Because of its constant horizontal coverage angle of 65 degrees and semi curved wide 15 degrees vertical radiation, it will deliver a flat slice of audio in the mid and higher frequencies. Wide enough to be used as a single in-fill or narrow enough to be used in multiples, a column or as a traditional sized line array module. The pragmatic fly frame and greatly simplified rigging hardware help the technician to quickly find the proper angles.

A key feature of the LED-powered LightStar is that it produces an output comparable to, or greater than, a fibre optic illuminator using a 150-watt metal halide light source. In a white colour mix, the LightStar is equivalent to the 150-watt metal halide powered illuminators. By using an LED light engine there is no transmission loss with a colour filter, so in deep, saturated colors, the LightStar has a greater output that is equivalent to 250-watt illuminators.

"By using LEDs as the light source, we have significantly decreased the power draw for the illuminator sin

The new units have been specifically developed to address the existing limitations associated with driving Light Tape using portable battery technology.

Light Tape has been used for many applications in the event, exhibition, entertainment and safety industries but the main barrier to its more widespread use in these sectors has been the size and poor performance of current battery technology, says the company.

At present, a DC power unit has to be supplied separately to the battery, switch and charger which can make the solution bulky and difficult to conceal if for instance the Light Tape is required to be lit for an extended time, so requiring a larger power unit. Or, time consuming if a smaller battery w
