Housed in a lightweight (12 kg) 2U chassis, the four-channel C 88:4 supplies a massive 8800 watts of total output. Up to 2200 watts per discrete channel are available at 2 ohms, 2100 watts per channel at 4 ohms, while 4600 watts are available through two bridged output pairs at 4 ohms. C 88:4 expands C Series capability to the largest performance installations. The C 88:4 is designed for powering sub-woofers, larger array systems and broader multi-power-level/impedance applications.

"The C 88:4 leverages a new generation of output device technology along with Lab.gruppen's engineering expertise to achieve astonishing power and versatility in a small form factor," states Tim Chapman, Lab.gruppen's head of marketing. "Compared to our p

Making its worldwide debut were the Showbeam automated wash luminaire, and the Showgun 2.5 automated luminaire. Also making its first appearance was the DMX Processor 8000 for Wholehog software.

Showbeam features a jointly developed Philips MSR 2500-watt lamp source that produces 140,000 lumens of light output. A smooth field, soft edge illumination is produced with a new radial lenticular homogenizing lens system that provides the fixture with a special look on stage. The dedicated soft edge light has user changeable fixed colours, a variable CTO and a full CMY colour mixing system. The soft edge profile can be rapidly zoomed from 12 to 32 degrees.

Instead of the traditional halogen lamp, the ELED Fresnel utilises a 50W, 6,000k white LED module as its light source. This module, comprised of a cluster of white LEDs, emits a high output that's equivalent to a 500W halogen lamp. Yet because of the amazing energy efficiency of LEDs, the ELED Fresnel draws a total of only 75W of power, allowing theatres and productions to save on their energy bills.

"An LED-powered Fresnel is an idea whose time has definitely come, and it's something our customers have been asking for," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "There will always be a huge demand in the theatrical market for a basic Fresnel to use as a white light or to put your own custom colour filter on.

Part of American DJ's new Tri-LED line of effects, the Tri Phase features three-in-one Tri-Color LED Technology that combines three different colored LEDs (red, green, and blue) into a single 10W LED source, to produce a spectrum of colour possibilities. This creates more vibrant and even toned mixed colours in spotlights, while allowing moonflower effects to produce beams in more colours than just red, blue and green, says the company.

"Our team devoted a great deal of energy and ideas to this project to create a product that opened new creative opportunities for entertainers," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American D

Designed for wall washing and other long throw applications, the ELED Strip RGBW measures 40" long and has a beam angle of 40° x 80°. One of its special features is a new asymmetrical optic system that produces a flat linear beam of light, as opposed to the less-focused circular-like patterns created by many LED strips. Because of the greater focus and concentration of its beam, the ELED Strip RGBW will produce a noticeably more even-toned and robust colour wash when projected on a wall or running length of a surface.

"To be an effective wall wash, an LED strip shoul

The two-tube fixtures are for the smaller studio, the four-tube units are for the taller cyc that tends to be in purpose built studio spaces. These fixtures have three types of control available DMX/Local, Phase Dimmed and Non Dim. The aysymetric reflectors negates the use of an intensifier and means the depth of the units can be reduced thus saving space.

The third unit is a four- tube, round focusable fluorescent spotlight. This unit creates a natrual catchlight in the eye and has the ability to be "spotted or flooded", says the company.
