The MH50 was born and now, nearly 30 years later, DNH have launched its successor - the MC50. Tens of thousands of music horns have been manufactured and distributed worldwide since being designed as a 15Watt unit by DNH chief product designer Oyvind Nielson in 1985. It introduced the concept of throwing music quality sound, long distances by wrapping a high quality driver within a re-entrant horn and was used at the Olympics, Barcelona's Neu Camp stadium, Wimbledon All England Tennis Club and countless sporting stadia, airports and public buildings around the globe. Other reference sites include Lord's Cricket Ground and constant use on
Recently shortlisted as Interior Luminaire of the year at the Lighting Design Awards, one of the many benefits is its Wall Wash Reflector which allows the ArtLED to be used for a multitude of different lighting tasks and applications. It is manufactured from aluminium diecast and extrusions with an epoxy polyester powder-coated finish.
The advent of a Glare Guard Baffle for both narrow and medium reflectors eliminates the large quantity of glare traditionally associated with LED fittings. In addition, a forward throw heat sink, designed by Light Proje

The MTP940 boasts comprehensive features and settings typically found only in today's finer reference studio condenser microphones. Three switchable polar patterns - wide cardioid, cardioid and super cardioid - allow for maximum flexibility when dealing with a diverse range of sources and environments; from lead vocals, public speaking, choirs, to classic unplugged situations with a singer and an acoustic instrument. A three-position high-pass filter makes it possible to directly influence the proximity effect, adapting it in the best-possible way to the sound source. Additionally, the three-position pre-attenuati
"We are elated to receive such a prestigious industry award," said Mark Bishop, president of LynTec. "By creating the market's first intelligent mobile power distribution solution, our RPCM gives customers the powerful features of our RPC panels in a fully portable product.

LynTec's RPCM is the industry's first intelligent power distribution panel to bring three new features
For those unfamiliar with Parasol, envision a typical live production application where moving lights are used. They are almost always bolted or fastened to a fixed truss and do not move from their rigged point. The Parasol system is an alternate means of moving the source point of a number of automated lighting fixtures along a pre-defined path.
Parasol's patented technology now allows moving lights, lasers, or even cameras to be fixed to moveable carriages that glide the lights along a predefined guide way or track. They are self-propelled, motorized carriages that are controlled by wirel
One of the biggest challenges of moving head projection is image distortion, something that Motion Mapper goes a long way to resolving, so maximising the effectiveness of moving head projection technology. In addition, the constant movement generated by the moving head system and the transport vehicle, or RPV (Revolving Projection Vehicle), allows projections to cover larger surface areas, making it easier for projections to be seen during daylight ho

The QSC Core 1000, 3000 and 4000 processors, together with their associated Page Stations, I/O Frame audio interfaces and CX amplifiers achieved IEC60945 certification (SOLAS) by conforming to an extremely stringent set of internationally recognised standards. It is illegal to use equipment on the high seas that has not achieved SOLAS certification, and indeed a vessel's maritime insurance may be invalidated unless all equipment used on board is SOLAS-approved. Approval is not granted unless the internat
The British manufactured Octopus is an entry level racking product featuring eight IEC distribution outlets, surge protection and EMI (electromagnetic interference) filters and is built to PAS's rigorous standards of quality engineering.
Suitable for all pro AV and audio applications and especially for domestic and commercial installations where reliable power supplies are vital for protecting all types of electronic equipment, the Octopus brings the consistency of British manufacturing to the market at a very competitive price.
The design and manufacturing was completed by PAS's specialist rack division, Rackz, and the metalwork is supplied by Penn Elcom, both elements reinforcing the octopus quality assurance.
This also allows products to be quickly developed, adapted and custom

"We're thrilled that PLASA recognised the Source Four Mini," says ETC fixtures product manager Jim Uphoff. "It was a big draw at LDI, and is becoming a popular choice for lighting professionals, because it's so versatile, going where larger fixtures can't. It may be cute, but it's a powerful tool that deserves a place in any designer's toolkit."
In addition to being a product showroom, the ETC stand also served as a functional theatre, staging a series of presentations on lighting fixtures and system design. It was standing room only for the LDI guests who packed the booth to hear E

Prolyte partner A.C. Lighting Inc. was instrumental in examining the market and identifying the advantages of developing the TwinPin format.
TwinPin offers build-up benefits whilst capitalising on the exceptional speed and performance of the internationally renowned conical coupler truss format pioneered by Prolyte in the early Nineties.
The TwinPin format enables truss grids to be built on the floor as one set of the holes sits horizontal to the ground negating the need to lift the truss to insert the pins. The other set of holes enables this TwinPin truss to still mate with existing Prolyte H Series truss. The excellent load bearing capacity of the truss is not affected by the extra hole. However, the 4-sided orientation will be r
