"AKG's new MicroLite mics are tiny, but the sound they produce is far from it," said Karam Kaul, Marketing Director for AKG. "Beyond great sound quality, we spent considerable time on every aspect of the design. From ear-hook and head-worn models that users can easily adjust on their own, to multiple layers of protection against mois

Built on the same technology that has made the uTrack24 a popular recorder/player for audio engineers around the globe, the uTrack-X32 is the world's first 32-channel recorder/player expansion card for the X32 and M32 family of consoles.
The card fits snugly into the X32 or M32 expansion card slot, operates completely independently and does not interfere with the console's mixing operations.
The uTrack-X32 can digitally record 32 channels direct from the console, without the need for additional hardware or computers, so there is no need to setup, wire, make new sessions, arm tracks or verify input levels.

Artistic Licence, a well-known name in the architectural and entertainment lighting sectors, is using the show as a launch platform for moody - a product that the company anticipates will appeal to a particularly wide market.
moody is a wall controller & programmable scene-setter for LED. It has a simple rotary dial, just like a conventional dimmer, except that it is lit up by a colour LED at the centre. This is not just for show - the LED indicates the colour and intensity of zones of light that can be programmed and controlled by moody.

"PLASA London is a significant show for d&b this year," says Gianni Abruzzese, d&b GB commercial manager. "We're really pleased to be showing the V-Series point sources, which we think are pretty special. The design of the mid range horn means that the vocal performance is in a league of its own.

"This is our second year in a row to be nominated for a Parnelli Award and we couldn't be more excited," said David Venus, PixelFLEX Director of Marketing. "Last year, our FLEXCurve LED Video Screen won the Parnelli Award, and this year we are hoping for the same outcome for the FLEXCurtain HD."
The FLEXCurtain HD is a lightweight and flexible LED video screen designed for high resolution video playback and video effects for indoor and outdoor applications. Its hi-res LED video can be driven by any DVI output, and the multi-directional, flexible design of th
The three-way passive V7P and V10P deliver 75° x 40° and 110° x 40° (h x v) dispersion characteristics respectively. Both loudspeakers feature an advanced hornloaded mid range section, which provides remarkable MF sensitivity. This MF performance, particularly in the vocal range, is where these compact V-Series cabinets excel. This endless vocal headroom make them suitable for applications which demand high sound pressure levels with full bandwidth capabilities from a single box solution.
The rotatable horn and wide range of rigging options make mounting in either orientation simple. The demonstration will explore the new point source system in all ground stacked and flown configurations. Attendees will also have the opp
Many high-profile show designing companies have relied on Laseranimation's Lasergraph DSP for many years: The Lasergraph DSP controllers provide extreme output performance, as they are small computers on their own which handle the whole output processing in a decentralized way. This means, that there is only a small programme necessary to remotely access the de-central units over LAN - the actual programming as well as the output calculation is done in the Lasergraph DSP controllers.
It is possible to connect a multitude of DSP units via LAN and run them in one huge network - this is how huge shows can be controlled. Synchronizations with other media can easily be done over SMPTE timecode and the whole setup can be remote controlled over DMX or MIDI. DMX remote c
