ELYSIA
NVELOPE 500
What is it? Elysia’s latest addition to the increasingly popular ‘500 series’.
Details: The nvelope 500 is a two-space stereo dynamics processor capable of making subtle or drastic changes to a sound by altering its impulse structure, providing direct control over the envelope of a signal by shaping the intensity of its attack and sustain. It is primarily intended to shape individual signals, but it can be used in mixing applications as well, as it can subtly shift a sound towards the front of the mix using more attack and less sustain, or blend it gently into the background by reducing its attack and increasing its sustain. The nvelope 500 also benefits from the enhanced tweakability
TANNOY VSX SERIES
What is it? A new line of compact installation subwoofers.
Details: Developed to augment the recently launched VX Series and VXP Series of full-range sound reinforcement loudspeakers, the new VSX Series initially comprises five passive enclosures, with powered versions set to follow later in the year. Developed from the ground up, the
VSX Series delivers high-impact, low and ultra-low frequency reinforcement in a compact format. The devices are said to be ideal for providing high-definition, extended low-end response for Tannoy’s
range of installation loudspeaker systems. The new range comprises five passive models – three of which are band-pass configuration – VSX 8.2BP, VSX 10BP and VSX 12.2BP – and two direct-radiating devices –VSX 15DR and VSX 18DR. All models feature a compact volume and footprint relative to their driver complement and performance capabilities.
And another thing… The VSX Series heralds the introduction of
Tannoy’s EMT (Excursion Management Technology) on the VSX 8.2BP, VSX 10BP and VSX 12.2BP. This is said to optimise tonal balance and harmonic output through precisely engineered enclosure geometry and innovative transducer design.

offered in Dual Band mode. Individual frequency controls for attack and sustain yield precise results while avoiding unwanted artifacts, even when used on complex material like a summing bus. It can be used on a range of different instruments such as drums, percussion, bass, edgy guitar, acoustic piano and even on full mixes.
And another thing… The nvelope 500 offers true dual mono or linked stereo operation in Full Range, Dual Band or EQ mode.

for the tweeters) with switch mode power supply, DSP processor and four equalisation presets, allows for appropriate sound in any condition. The modular design enables the doubling-up of CLA 604A modules to form a unified column with a coherent source.

matched with a switch mode power supply and a DSP processor with filtering functions, equalisation and speaker protection.
