The DS 830 Speaker Station, an eight-channel unit mounted in a smartly styled 3U cabinet, will debut at ASL Digital's stand at IBC and at ASL's UK distributor Polar Audio's stand F4 at PLASA09. Three more companion tabletop units - offering 16, 24 and 32 channel capacities - will also be available in the near future/in early 2010.
"Many theatres and concert halls have expressed a strong preference for the groundbreaking technologies in our new digital system," notes Susan McLohon, ASL Intercom's director of sales and marketing. "They are pleased that they can specify either tabletop enclosures or 1U rackmount units, or even select optional 19" rack mounting of the new 3U tabletop versions."
Slated for active demonstration at both IBC and PLASA, the DS 830 Speaker Station offers a full menu of features in an eight-channel format suited to a range of production applications - either full access to smaller systems or selective access in larger installations.
The four new tabletop speaker stations are integral parts of the forward-looking ASL Digital Intercom concept, which leverages the latest core digital networking technologies to afford extraordinary system configuration flexibility, says the company. System configuration for each production is instantly recallable as a preset, and the refreshingly simple configuration software can be mastered without specialized training. ASL Digital Intercom networks can be configured in star, in-line or daisy-chain topologies, and all connections employ standard Cat 5 cabling for easy installation.
