Under the Scheme, expenditure on approved technologies and products can qualify for 100%, up-front tax relief, delivering a significant cash-flow boost and shortening the payback period on the investment. In addition to this initial financial incentive, anyone buying products from the Pixelrange will enjoy the long-term benefits of the LED technology - with its long lamp life, low power consumption, low maintenanc
Anders Christensen, CEO of D-PAC Audio, explains: "We have recently bought a production facility in order to manufacture up to 25,000 modules each year, and as we only expect to use a few thousand on a yearly basis, we see the idea in obtaining extra volume by offering our outstanding modules as OEM."
"Several tests have proven our modules to be more powerful, more quiet and better sounding than everything else we have tried and heard," says Christensen. "In order to give potential customers a try, we have made an evaluation kit with well-des
This major new functionality means that the elements in schematic designs stay connected as you move them within the document. So, if you wish to change the look of your block schematic and move products, either by dragging the selected symbols to their new position, or by nudging them with the arrow keys, the connections follow automatically. Furthermore, Rubber-Banding operates independently of Modifiers (Snap to Grid, Snap to Object, etc.).
This is an extremely important development, says Stardraw’s marketing director, Rob Robinson: "Rubber-Banding has been at the top of our ‘Most Wanted’ list for some time,
"The expansion of our Series 1000 product range immediately after the introduction of our new Series 3000 products, shows that Vari-Lite is committed to the development of new automated lighting products and enhancements to our existing product line," said Vari-Lite president and COO Clay Powers.

The MH4 has won many admirers for its easy-to-use multi-purpose functionality, which makes it simple to configure the console for use of FOH or monitor duties, or as a single desk fulfilling both tasks. Since its launch earlier this year, the Soundcraft MH4 has won many friends, including an appearance on two stages at the Montreux Jazz Festival, touring around Europe and on the recent series of Big Brother in the UK. The MH4 has also found favour in many large churches in the USA.

The most significant feature of the S-5000 is that the platter spins - the machine is a true CD turntable. To emulate a record deck as closely as possible, the turntable has a vinyl disc on with grooves cut into it, replicating the feel of a conventional record! The S-5000 offers the ability to manipulate the vinyl disc in the required stylistic manner, plus the added bonus of no stylus - and no jumping! The Forward/Back function is perfect for ‘cutting in’ samples without having to close the mixer fader - like having an extra hand! The platter can be assigned to scratch e
Variations in height can be achieved, but currently, the three standard lengths for the wall versions are 1.3, 2.3 and 3 metres. The uprights are available in three standard sizes - 4, 6 and 9 metres - and the mobiles come in 4 and 6 metre heights. The wall mounting poles are available in fixed, user-definable colours, which can be matched to any standard Lee or Rosco gel colour. The uprights are also available as fixed colours.
All three versions are available with CYM colour-changing mechanisms, complete with onboard programmer. The latter offers
Digital technology links the analogue inputs with the analogue outputs (these are XLR balanced) with the analogue controls on the front panel allowing the AC24 to perform in a way not possible using analogue circuits. The analogue Linkwitz-Riley implementation guarantees, by definition in phase adjacent outputs, which allows the two signals to sum correctly. The use of digital processing allows the product to add appropriate phase compensation so that all outputs add properly when
The update includes more than 500 symbols of buttons, switches, knobs, connectors, logos, meters and much more. They have been created to meet all of the criteria currently used in the production of Stardraw libraries and conform to layer and drawing specifications.
According to marketing director, Rob Robinson, this is a significant enhancement. "By making the component symbols available, we are effectively giving our subscribers even greater scope to customize Stardraw to their own requirements. Although our library
"With the growing use of EASE and CATT, not only by acoustical consultants, but by design/build contractors in many countries, we feel it’s important to make accurate data available in current formats," Deffarges commented. "We hope that this new data release will make it easier for sound system designers to compare the predicted performance of Nexo loudspeakers with similar products and to make the best choice for any given application."
The EASE and CATT data files are available as a 752kb Zip archive from the website below:

Beau Southey, managing director of Brown’s Precision Welding and designer of the Multifunction Tower, says: "The BWT is designed to maximise the usability of every component and integrate effectively with which ever truss the end-user requires including any existing rental stocks. Even the sleeve block may be used independently as a truss corner block."
The tower itself comprises a
The three remote control panels offer several new features: Volume 8 allows up to eight individual or group levels with Audia. The levels may include inputs, outputs, mixer levels, matrix cross-points or any number of volume controls. Select 8 provides the selection and control of up to eight actions from within Audia. This control can be used to establish presets, mutes, ducking and/or combining. Volume/Select 8 combines the functionality of the Volume 8 and Select 8 on one two-gang panel. According to Ralph Lockhart, president of Biamp Systems: "We wanted to give the end-user as much flexibility
Andy Reed of APR Audio has been a customer of VDC since he started out in the audio rental business, so it is no surprise that every length of cable for his new X-Line rig has been sourced from the London company. A variety of Van Damme products, including Black Series, Blue Series, Socapex-based speaker multicores and breakouts, and associated panel work, is in place, but the innovation lies in the custom link looms that combine armoured Cat 5 data cable with audio lines. These looms connect stage systems to the front-of-house control, and enable the amp
For those users that can’t initially afford wireless, the P2R Hybrid Receiver protects their investment by allowing them to upgrade at a later date. The hybrid receiver starts as a wired bodypack and with the addition of the TransMixer component, operates fully as a wire
Luxeon light sources, developed by Lumileds lighting, a world-class supplier of LEDs, are among the brightest LEDs in the world. At the forefront of high flux LED technology, they combine the practical advantages of conventional LEDs such as long life and low energy, while producing a light output which is second to none. Gareth Frankland, sales and marketing director at ACDC Lighting Systems, said: "The LED products have been developed in conjunction with some of the world’s top lighting designers, and through careful research and consultation, we have been able to create a range of products which satisfy the demands for projects both tod
Utilizing the CMD-SA/T 150W metal halide 9000-hour lamp, and a coated elliptical reflector, the Globo 150 projects a bright 45 degree beam angle. Using the inbuilt vari-speed auto programmer or controllable via a single channel of DMX, the Globo produces eight selectable colours and white, plus blackout. It is ideal for a whole host of indoor and outdoor applications, say Multiform, and multiple units can be synchronized for an even more spectacular effect.
