the earlier models, but are now encased in a more sleek design. Just seven months after
unveiling its CDC Eight digital production console at PLASA 2011, Cadac launched a complete
CDC8 series production system at Prolight + Sound. The series features the addition of an ultra- compact 16-channel variant of the original 32-fader CDC Eight, the CDC8-16, with identical processing, channel count and I/O capabilities. An Ethernet connected 16-fader sidecar expander module – the CDC8- 16S – can expand the control surfaces of the CDC8 console, or dedicate I/O channels on the desk to sub mixing, monitor mixing or other discrete applications. Described as the combination
of qualities from the J- and Q- Series, the V-Series from d&b audio is a mid-sized line array comprising V8 and V12 loudspeakers supported by a V-subwoofer. Each of the V8 and V12
speakers are three-way passive designs housing two 10” LF drivers, one horn-loaded 8” MF

Eve Audio’s initial product line includes eight different speaker models – four two-way systems, two three-way systems and two four-way systems as well as four subwoofers.
All monitors use proprietary tweeter technology based on a unique revised air motion transformer, and feature glass fibre honeycomb woofers and PWM amplifiers that are directly wired to a DSP-based filter section with no additional converters between the filters and power amps. www.eve-audio.com
