(though, a little later than normal this time around). We’ve already teased you with a few of the headline, embargoed launches (turn back to page 4), but there’s a lot more to see besides… The main focus on the Alcons
Audio stand will be the LR24 mid-sized pro-ribbon line array system: Alcons’ response to the demand for linear sound systems, but with “true 1:1, undistorted and non- compressed” reproduction. Also on show is the QR24 pro-ribbon line-source column – a modular, two-way column- array loudspeaker to be used in acoustically-challenging rooms.
Cadac is exhibiting a full

input/output, delay and limiter phase change input gain from -48 to +12dB. Pride of place on the CEDAR
Audio stand will be given to the DNS 8 Live multichannel dialogue noise suppressor. The company will also demonstrate its CEDAR Cambridge V8 workstation as well as the CEDAR Duo rackmount restoration modules.

The SD9B will make its world
debut on the DiGiCo stand while the SD9T will be launched in Europe. The SD9T gives all the advanced theatre features of the flagship SD7T to the smaller SD9.
