Fred Heuves, MD of Synco Europe, commented: "The Synco Network of PA companies will now have all three of Martin Audio's proprietary Line Array systems in their inventories - the Synco W8L, Synco W8LC and now the Synco W8LM. They not only match perfectly together, but will serve independently in their own market segments as well. With these three Synco Line Array systems, combined
The DS-108 is a versatile two-way system designed to provide full-range reproduction. Low frequency reproduction is handled by a high efficiency 8" loudspeaker with 1.5" voice coil. High frequencies are reproduced by the M-3 compression driver - a 1" exit driver incorporating a 2" titanium diaphragm and EFW (edge-wound-flat-wire) voice coil. The unique enclosure design has an ergonomic handle for easy carrying and will accept a standard 35mm mounting stand. The M8 rigging points and optional mounting bracket facilitate use in permanent installations.

The MPS6001 is ideally suited to a wide range of applications. In the broadcast environment it will prove particularly useful when DPA miniature microphones are directly connected to cameras and other devices without phantom power. In live music situations, especially in small venues where 48V phantom power is not always available, the MPS6001 will function as an invaluable safety device, providing artists with their own battery-operated power supply complete with a useful belt clip for easy on-stage handling.
The MPS6001 also feat
With such a wide a scope, Time called for a rather more complex sound system, one that could function in a variety of situations and that could be controlled at a touch of a button. For this the installation team, AVL, and Time production manager, Mike Warner, chose a complete EAW sound system.

Based on the legendary audio performance of the Neumann TLM 103 and featuring the new K127 capsule - a modified K103 - the TLM 127 brings the quality and flexibility of fully featured Neumann studio condenser microphones into the mid-price market for the first time, say the company. The TLM 127 has a frequency range of 20Hz - 20kHz, low self noise (7 dB(A)), and a maximum SPL of 140dB.

Spektrix, weighing in at just 32kg, is a rigid, trapezoidal, 11-ply Baltic birch compact cabinet, loaded with a proprietary Adamson 1.4" neodymium HF compression driver, mounted on an Adamson patented wave shaping drive module. The system also delivers greatly increased efficiency in the 100-200Hz frequency range and low frequency extension via two Adamson Neodymium 8" kevlar drivers. These respectively produce rich, mid-bass via the Spektrix Band Pass Network and direct radiated LF - thus creating a bi-amped acoustic 3-way cabinet. All drive assembly components are weatherproof and are protected by a 16-gauge cold pressed steel grille.

tsg, the Sheffield-based media programming and systems company has been appointed by W&DB to implement standardized audio and video systems in the majority of the pubs in the programme. Some 60 venues have been converted to the Bostin' Local format to date, with about 40 more earmarked in this W&DB financial year. The roll-out is expected to include about 200 pubs by the end of 2004 - an investment of over £20m.
Every conversion will feature a new sound system, installed by tsg, and comprising Wharfedale Programme 30D loudspeakers with a promedia hard-disk music playing system, Cloud amplification and mixer facilities, and zone control. "The only factor that alters is the number
The club owners first heard Wembley's B-Line 28-20 cabinets at this year's Notting Hill Carnival in London. They subsequently came to the PLASA exhibition in London in September, where they agreed the order with Wembley Loudspeaker's managing director, Paul MacCallum.
He commented: "We have always been particularly proud of the bass response our speaker enclosures produce, which is why they're so popular as the sound systems for Notting Hill. This year we had over 120 units in different systems across the Carnival, and to get an order from Jamaica - the home of reggae and bass-oriented music - is p
Appearing before an invited audience of 140 - with his 11-piece Sky Orchestra looking like they had migrated from the cast of a BBC costume drama - Roth was filmed for a forthcoming DVD to support the album. It also provided a break from the normal '@coustix' Wednesday night talent sessions run by promoter Tony Moore (of Kashmir Klub fame).
Moore, the former Cutting Crew keyboard player, has a long history with Soundcraft, who provided a 24-channel MH4 to Roth's sound engineer Martin Leissner to mix the show - which also incorporated a new Sky guitar concerto. Leissner has been working with the Scorpions legend since 2000 - but wit
