technologynew products SHURE SE846


What is it? Sound isolating earphones featuring Quad High-Definition MicroDrivers with a three-way system configuration for dedicated low, mid and high frequency distribution.


Details: The patent-pending design of the SE846 includes a low-pass filter


that enables ~3dB low-end roll-off at 90Hz (~10dB at 250Hz). Ten precision-welded, stainless steel plates


form 4” of high acoustic mass pathway, naturally enabling low frequency roll-off to begin at about 75Hz without distortion or artifacts.


Quad High-Definition MicroDrivers with True Subwoofer produce extended high-end clarity and unparalleled low-end performance. Four custom-engineered, balanced armature drivers are tailored to blend precisely with each other. The SE846 provides a combination of sound signatures, isolation and quality, in an in-ear design. Lightweight with a low profile shape, the SE846 offers three changeable nozzles


RADIAL ENGINEERING PREMAX


What is it? A combination preamp and three-band equaliser module for the 500 series format.


Details: The PreMax begins with a low-noise Op-Amp input coupled with Radial’s Accustate gain control that simultaneously sets the input sensitivity and signal gain to deliver ultra-quiet performance at all levels. Visual monitoring is supported with LEDS for signal and overload. The preamp then feeds a traditional three-band shelving EQ for tone shaping. A front panel switch enables the user to bypass the EQ to compare the pre-post effect. This is augmented with a high-pass filter to eliminate low-end resonance that can cause a recorded track to sound muddy. A 180˚ polarity reverse works double duty to either help align stereo mic placement or to help tame acoustic hot spots when using the PreMax in a live stage setting. For safety, the 48V phantom power switch is recessed to prevent accidental turn-on which could damage tweeters or vintage ribbon microphones. When used with a Radial Workhorse power rack, the Omniport jack is configured as an


allowing users to customise the listening experience by selecting the nozzle insert with the preferred frequency response – available in balanced, warm and bright options.

K-ARRAY


instrument input and activated using the front panel switch. When not connected, the switch acts like a microphone mute.


And another thing: The PreMax’s thick front panel is supported with a 16 gauge L-frame and the circuit is encased in Galvalume to minimise noise caused by outside


electromagnetic fields. Switches are also encased in steel and the sealed potentiometers employ steel shafts for extra durability. Connection to the frame features double-sided gold contacts for optimal signal flow. www.radialeng.com


ANAKONDA KAN200


What is it? A flexible array element designed for situations where a traditional enclosure can’t be used but where intelligibility and reliability are required.


Details: The KAN200 is suitable for use with all distributed sound systems – as a stand-alone module or in combination with K-array subwoofers. Speaker elements can be wound around columns or


mounted on curved or irregular- shaped objects. Typical applications include outdoor installations, theme parks and indoor/outdoor


scenography design. The design offers high impedance for long lines and dedicated presets said to work across a wide frequency range.


And another thing:The KAN200 package also includes dedicated wall brackets said to make installation as easy and fast as possible and can be supplied using RAL paint codes for customised applications. www.k-array.com
