Highlighted product was the LR7 micro pro-ribbon line-array, latest and smallest member of Alcons' successful pro-ribbon line-arrays. The lightweight (8kg), the 16 ohms impedance and a choice of 90-degree or 120-degree horizontal projection, makes the LR7 suitable for AV projects, where very compact form factor with perfect line-array throw and imaging are required.
The viewing of the LR7B, bass extension of the LR7 micro pro-ribbon line-array, also attracted a lot of attention. Applying a newly developed dual-tuned concentric bandpass configuration, a single long-excursion 12" Neodymium woofer creates a highly-efficient, compact package as powerful LR7 extension for the lower octaves.
Among the other products displayed on the stand was the CR1 ultra-compact AV/Digital Cinema 3-way sound system; Housed in a 18cm/7" ultra-shallow MDF enclosure, the CR1 is designed to provide medium output, high quality AV sound reproduction, for cinema theatres, board-rooms, Home Theatres / residential sound systems a.o. On the stand it was accompanied by the also ultra-shallow CB181sl subwoofer.
Managing director Tom Back says: "With our stand literally packed with Alcons users, new contacts and interested visitors three days out of four, Alcons enjoyed again significantly increased interest. Drawing-up the balance sheet, with new distributors, a portfolio of projects and leads to follow-up, it was without doubt our best show so far."
