The HK Audio NANO600 is now available in the UK and will be on show. Providing all the features and versatility as its 'little' brother (the incredibly popular NANO300) its inbuilt 475 watt power amp provides extra punch and headroom for larger venues, whilst still retaining the portability which is the trademark of HK Audio's Active ranges.
Lewitt Microphones have added the DGT650 USB and LCT550 to their portfolio. A new class in the USB microphone field, the DGT650 supports ASIO for Windows and OSX Core Audio and can be easily combined with mobile devices, thanks in part to its built-in lithium-ion battery. It also feature an onboard analog preamp, switchable high-pass filter, two attenuation settings and four different recording modes, Stereo, Cardiod, Singer/Songwriter and Stereo In-Line. Meanwhile, th LCT 550 is the first and only large-diaphragm studio microphone ever to achieve 0 dB-A self-noise. That makes it possible to capture even extremely weak signals with great precision and detail - If you can hear it, you should be able to record it!
Also on show for the first time in the UK market is the Cymatic Audio Utrack 24 and LP16 Live Player. As the name suggest the Utrack 24 provides 24 tracks of simultaneous recording or playback, which can be saved via USB to any suitable hard drive.
The LP16 provides a neat solution for any bands artists using pre-recorded tracks as it enables you to separate them into 16 channels of audio that are super easy to mix into your live sound. Working as a dedicated multi-track player for live performances, while sparing users the hassles of using a laptop and computer audio interface in a live environment, it is perfect for backing tracks, virtual soundchecks, triggering synths, driving light shows and controlling devices.
Also new from Lab Gruppen is the IPD1200 and IPD2400. These class-D rack mountable power amps feature 600 and 1200 watts per side respectively, have inbuilt DSP and are fully networkable with easy access via laptop or iPad. Visitors to JHS Event will also be able to check out the Lucia range of specialist 1/2 rack mount amplifiers, ideal for a variety of low powered fixed install applications such as restaurants, bars, gym's, retail environments etc.
All these products and many more will be on show in the dedicated pro-audio showroom for the duration of Event (Sunday 8- Wednesday 11 June).
