Just four years old, and appearing at PLASA for the first time, EM Acoustics (distributed in the UK by Autograph Sales) showed off their new DA1, a single 18" (utilising a Precision Devices driver) sub in a 9ft folded horn capable of reproducing high SPLs down as low as 30Hz, with a recommended upper roll-off at 200Hz.

Sharing the stand was Global 9, another new company to the PLASA show, showing their G9-G series of six installation speakers. Four cabinets are full-range and based variously on 6.5", 8", 12" and 15" drivers; low-end grunt can be added with either the G-212B (2 x 12") or the G218B (2 x 18") dedicated subs.Specialist analogue desk-only manufacturer APB also shared the stand with EM and Global 9. Having showed their prototype Spectra Series console last year, the full production version is now available.
