LIVE EVENTS, technology for worship and AV in the
hospitality sector will all be highlighted during this year’s InfoComm show. A host of education opportunities are available to the live events professional, including ‘Staging and Live Events Management’ with InfoComm International’s Andre LeJeune; ‘Elements of AV Design’ with Mario J Maltese of Audio Visual Resources Inc; and ‘Principles of Live Mixing’ with Meyer Sound’s Burford Jones. InfoComm is also partnering with education provider SynAudCon to provide audio training to attendees. SynAudCon will present ‘Sound Reinforcement for Technicians’, a three-day multimedia seminar beginning on 9 June, with hands- on exercises for audio technicians, and a second course entitled ‘The Acoustical Site Survey’, which will review methods to quantify acoustical qualities of a space and room metrics including clarity, reverberation and early-decay time. The Technologies for Worship
conference will take place in the Technologies for Worship pavilion, alongside product demos and live performances on the Quiet Stage. The conference will cover everything from training volunteers to ‘Understanding Acoustics in Worship’. InfoComm 2013 will also
showcase emerging products and best practices in the hospitality sector. “Top-quality, reliable audiovisual systems are a must- have for the hospitality manager,” said David Labuskes, CTS, RCDD, executive director and CEO, InfoComm International, “and InfoComm 2013 is the place to see the latest gear and get the necessary training to satisfy demanding clients.”

UNITED STATES
Billed as the largest pro-AV show in the world, InfoComm returns to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando this month. With conferences from 8-14 June and the exhibition opening on 12 June, attendees can look forward to a packed schedule of education, training and technology debuts
combined installation. For this reason, Commercial Design utilises many of the same technologies as Distributed Design, including real compression drivers and Tru-Phase phase plugs for high output and low distortion. Commercial Design ceiling models also incorporate labour-saving installation innovations like Community’s exclusive Drop-Stop technology. Harman’s JBL Professional
is showcasing its JRX200 Series portable passive PA loudspeakers, upgraded from the previous JRX100 Series and featuring an improved high- performance compression driver, a more professional appearance and additional enhancements. The four models in the JRX200 lineup include the JRX212 12” two-way loudspeaker/stage monitor, JRX215 15” two-way speaker, JRX225 dual 15” two-way speaker and JRX218S 18” compact subwoofer. L-Acoustics is showcasing
while drawing less than 1W in sleep mode, nX amplifiers are offered in 4- or 2-channel versions with selectable high-Z (70/100V) or low-Z output on each channel. nX model variants include the addition of Ethernet control and onboard Protea DSP with load monitoring, to meet the requirements of modern fixed installation and live sound applications. Clear-Com will launch the enhanced HelixNet Partyline intercom system. The new version will include a multi- system linking capability to deliver a cost-effective intercom solution for accessing up to 20 digital partyline channels, five program audio feeds and 100 digital beltpacks. Enabling this
capability are two new modules: the HLI-ET2 Ethernet Module, for Main Station-to-Main Station networking over fibre or a LAN (Local Area Network), and the HLI-FBS Fiber Module, for daisy-chaining fibre interfaces to link main stations over long distances. Also on the Clear-Com booth,
Optocore will showcase a new range of MADI switches. Equipped with 10 or 18 ports of MADI, the switches allow distribution over Cat5 cabling, in addition to MADI-over-fibre and MADI-over-BNC. The RJ45 MADI ports on the new products will introduce greater flexibility, lower cost and simplified MADI connectivity. Additionally, each switch has
two redundant high-speed, 2GB fibre uplink ports that switch and route 16 MADI streams and Ethernet to create larger switches for bigger infrastructures. Community Professional
Loudspeakers is introducing the Commercial Design Series, a comprehensive family of ceiling, surface mount and pendant loudspeakers designed to meet the needs of installations requiring high performance at a competitive price. Commercial Design models offer a choice of 4.5”, 6.5” and 8” driver sizes. The series is intended to complement Community’s Distributed Design family of ceiling, surface mount and pendant loudspeakers in a
two new systems – the 5XT ultra-compact coaxial enclosure and SB15m compact subwoofer. The smallest member of the XT coaxial series, the 5XT is based on a two-way passive design with a nominal impedance of 16 ohms. The compact system contains a 1” diaphragm compression driver coaxially loaded by a 5” low-mid frequency transducer mounted in a bass-reflex tuned enclosure. Power and processing for the 5XT is delivered by the LA4/LA8 and the new LA4X amplified controller, each of which ensures linearisation, protection and optimisation for the loudspeaker system in its different operating modes. V4.0 of the Ovation Media
Server and Sequencer will be on the stand of Merging Technologies. At the heart of the Ovation 4 system are flexible and intuitive cue sequencers. Capable of huge multitrack audio playback (up to 384 tracks) of any file type or sample rate (real-time SRC) combined with control protocol firing for interaction with any system configuration (MIDI, RS-232, GPIO, RS-422, LTC, TCP/IP, Script), Ovation is proving popular for configured live event playback. Ovation 4 also provides an easy-to-use remote interface for the system with the WebServer option. Using any web-enabled device, it is possible
