ARCS WIDE, ARCS FOCUS


What is it: A pair of line source enclosures intended for medium-throw applications in rental productions and fixed install.


Details: ARCS WIDE and ARCS FOCUS systems are based on two constant curvature enclosures holding distinct directivity pattern and SPL capabilities. The pair are suited to a range of applications, including FOH L/R systems, central clusters, side-fill monitors, distributed systems and complementary fills.


PEAVEY


IMPULSE 261


What is it? A wide-range high- output permanent install two-way loudspeaker system designed for bars and restaurants where music clarity and aesthetics are crucial.


Details: With two 6.5” woofers and 1” titanium dome tweeter mounted on a waveguide, the system is capable of controlled coverage, with a hifi sound character. It is protected from overload by independent overload protection for the woofer and the tweeter. This, coupled with an advanced design crossover network, is said to provide smooth, yet clear sound with low distortion and excellent reliability. Connection is


SOMMER CABLE DVM120 and 194 Series


What is it? Two new ‘accessory’ ranges released under the Cardinal DVM brand.


Details: The DVM120 Series consists of seven problem fixers and audio tools for professional live and studio applications. It consists of the DVM-120-TDI tube direct box; HZDI high-impedance dual direct box; DDI dual direct box; DLI dual line box; HPA variable phones amp; SPS remote controlled speaker


selector; and DVM-120-SPR remote monitor controller.


All devices feature a housing design made of a solid 3mm extruded profile. Due to the front and connection plates being recessed by 18mm all controls and connectors – including the active components – are protected. All active devices are equipped with an internal power supply, suitable for operating voltages between 90 and 240V (50/60Hz).


The DVM194 Series comprises components for installation, live and studio. It is made up of the DVM-19/4- MIX, the DVM-19/4-HPA phones amp and the DVM-19/4-AMP power amp.


And another thing… Further additions are planned to the DVM194 Series, including a keyboard submixer (with volume pedal connection), a 100V transformer unit for ELA technology and an iPod interface. www.sommercable.com


via a locking Euro (Phoenix


type) connector with screw terminals. Other features include a weather-


resistant design; vented cabinet; a black injection-molded plastic enclosure; and a perforated powder- coated metal grille. A wide aiming mounting bracket is included, and the transformer is equipped with 70.7V and 100V taps and an 8-ohm ‘thru’.


And another thing: The smooth, rounded design and choice of black or white cabinet ensures the system blends into a variety of environments. www.peavey-eu.com


Details: The Titan’s main audio path is a discrete Class A design. Reset- ability is attained by using stepped controls and encoders that have their values displayed on the device’s colour LCD display. It is digitally controlled analogue with a high-speed


TITAN


What is it? An analogue compressor- limiter with a large range of colour and control choices along with recall.


DSP side chain allowing it to enhance what is normally possible with an analogue side chain.


The compressor-limiter controls are as normal – Threshold, Attack, Release, Shape, Bypass-In-Link, Meter Select, and make up Gain; settings are displayed on a colour LCD display. The Shape control shows the knee of the compressor with its characteristic graphically drawn on


BEYMA PW FAMILY


What is it? A new range of high- power subwoofers starting with the 21PW1400Fe and 18PW1400Fe.


Details: Launched at Prolight + Sound, the 21PW1400Fe and 18PW1400Fe are extended low-frequency transducers designed for vented


configurations. Both units feature Beyma’s Malt Cross advanced cooling system, which allows the speakers to handle up to 2800 program power; losses due to power compression are reduced using a 4” double layer inner/outer voice coil. A high, accurate and stable SPL is said to have been achieved thanks to a carefully designed motor and suspension system featuring Beyma’s MMSS (mechanical mirror suspension system) technology.


The result is extremely controlled transient response and low distortion.


And another thing: Other features include high thermal and mechanical stability, high durability and a consistent performance throughout the working period of these subwoofer loudspeakers. www.beyma.com


the LCD to allow the user to see the knee’s shape. The graphical display updates with the changing of the Threshold and Shape controls. When stereo linked, the unit selected as control master will control all functions on the second channel.


And another thing… Titan is 100V to 240V (50-60Hz) switchable. www.kmraudio.com


ARCS WIDE (H x V: 30º x 90º) is said to achieve extensive coverage with few elements thus preserving sightlines. The total coverage angle of an ARCS WIDE line source is proportional to the number (N) of enclosures in the array, i.e. N x 30°. ARCS Focus (H x V: 15º x 90º) focuses the same acoustic energy within half of the coverage angle; it is therefore suited to achieving a narrower coverage, offering a higher SPL with a more extended throw than its sibling.


For installations, the systems’ coverage can be tailored to fit installation budgets, and the dual directivity pattern can provide effective solutions for challenging room acoustics. The units also meet the IP45 enclosure rating making them viable for outdoor installations.


And another thing: Both systems can be deployed as either a horizontal or vertical array.
