Designed to be able to deliver the same SPL as equivalent products in the mid-size line array category, but with 15dB less distortion, the Alcons LR24 pro ribbon system utilises the company's pro-ribbon technology "to set a new benchmark in terms of SPL, projection control and sound quality".
Also on show will be two new subwoofers, the BC543 and BQ211. Designed for both permanent and portable ground-stacked applications, the BC543 offers a high output, with tight and accurate bass response.

A highlight will be the launch of the LS9 version of the StageMix iPad app. Since its launch in September last year, the M7CL version of StageMix has been "a huge success" and producing an LS9-compatible version has been a priority for Yamaha's software development team.
Using the iPad's built-in WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n) functionality, StageMix directly controls the LS9 via a wireless connection point, which is linked to the mixing console via Cat 5 cable. With a straightforward, intuitive graphic interface and the iPad's multi-touch and gesture control, stage sound can be easily mixed, even if the mixing console is at front of house.
The app allows the use
High End Systems previewed the intellaspot automated luminaire at last year's show, and will further demonstrate the now-established fixture in full force. Debuting at the expo is the 'indigo highlighter' feature. Exclusive to the intellaspot, the indigo highlighter provides designers with additional LED output from the fixture and increases the layering abilities of the large exiting aperture fixture. This feature utilises four one-watt indigo LEDs mounted discretely to the front of the fixture.
Also on show will be the new Technospot - a full featured, har
The company will be hosting a free seminar entitled Interference Free Wireless Lighting Controls to increase understanding of wireless technology and how it works, with a special focus on the G4 technology. This is a chance to see the advantages of the associated cost savings and energy efficiency and how to make use of a plug and play system. The seminar will be held on Wednesday, 19 April from 1.00pm - 1.45pm in the Wellington Room. To sign up, visit www.plasafocus.com/leeds/education/wednesday/.
Unlike any cable, the new G4 is able to repair corrupted data and vouches for maximum security by running on dual band and creating a backup duplicate of the signal. This new standard is transparent and works with seve

The four models HPX 900, HPX1200, HPX2400, HPX2800 with output ranging from 900 W to 2800 W using power stages in Class AB and Class H and switching power supplies, maintain clarity and definition in the high frequency range and impressive dynamics in the low end, says the company.
All of these models are capable of providing their maximum rated power on a two-ohm load, making them a very convenient source of power in even the most demanding sound reinforcement applications.
Light-weight and easily manageable, the HPX series amplifiers offer practicality as one of their primary features. Their switching mode power supplies and efficient cooling systems make them particularly suited for use in compact and
With the new DVI Patch feature users can simply add rotation, flipping, and spacing to any DVI-based LED installation independently of the hardware controller. This is a substantial improvement over the current situation, says the company. Whereas DMX512 can be configured quite freely, DVI hardware controllers by themselves allowed only very static ways to position the DVI fixtures. In short, projects using the DVI signal can now be handled with the same ease that DMX fixtures offer.
MADRIX offers various possibilities of remote control. Two of which just have been widely improved for the user - DMX-IN and Art-Net Remote. Both are especially interestin
NlightN flat panel speakers use six small, mathematically positioned exciters to generate bending waves across the entire surface of a stiff panel membrane. The exciters used in the NlightN speakers are based on conventional moving voice coils. The movement of the panel creates a diffuse soundfield that provides an unparalleled, immersive audio experience: the dispersion from an NlightN speaker is almost omnidirectional across
