Sure to attract attention is the Type H line array loudspeaker, "the most compact, aesthetically pleasing and affordable line array TOA has ever built", which barely a year after its release is already finding favour in large, reflective public spaces where intelligibility is difficult to achieve and hanging space is at a premium.
Also on display is TOA's modular audio-mixing system, the D-2000, which can be expanded up to a massive 128 input/output configuration. This makes it suited to venues such as hotel conference suites, convention centres, sports halls and places of worship, where future expansion in the form of new rooms or extensions need not be at the expense of adding a completely new audio system.
Finally, in these times of increased environmental awareness, the company's new DA series of digital power amplifiers seem certain to catch the eye as well as the ear. With their high efficiency and low power consumption, the DA series feature Class D technology and are available in a variety of two- and four-channel configurations, as well as a choice of low-impedance and 100V line operation.
Brett Downing, sales & marketing director at TOA Europe, comments: "Over the past 12 months we've dedicated a lot of energy to building our international business, opening new offices and making our new website available in multiple languages, for example. So in a sense it will be nice to be at PLASA because it will give us a great opportunity to network with partners from the UK commercial audio industry. We've got a lot to talk about this year and next year looks like being even better. We're looking forward to it!"
Dedicated to getting the right information to partners, to support company's ever expanding product range, TOA have updated their own website to reflect their European customer base. Information is accessible in English, French, Russian, Polish and German languages.
