Germany - Set for launch at the 2012 ProLight&Sound exhibition in Frankfurt, XTA has created the DS8000 - an entire redesign of its popular DS800 mic/line distribution system. Featuring microphone preamps designed by Gottlier award winning Alex Cooper, the DS8000 offers many new facilities including a dual redundant power system, one-to-many split-switching, antitamper functions and subtle panel lighting. "All this combines to create a package that enhances its predecessor's reputation as a flexible, rugged and high quality distribution system," says the company.

Also showing will be the S Series S800 and S1400 Reference Power Amplifiers from MC2 Audio. "Designed for use in the most challenging studio monitoring environments, but equally at home in any application where transparency and 'no compromise' performance are the focus, the S Series delivers the stunning sound quality and reliability expected from MC2 Audio," the company adds.

Other products on display from XTA include: DP548, 4 Series Audio Management Systems, DC1048, Audiocore and Icore Software.

From MC2 Audio: E Series Amplifiers, Ti Amplifiers, Ti1048, TiBob Breakout Boxes and Icore Software.

Visitors are invited to meet their "Tea Technicians" at booth F60 in Hall 8 - and at 4pm daily they'll even make you a traditional British cup of tea using the powerful MC2 Audio E100 amplifier!
