New speaker has ‘unusually’ high dynamic range NEWS
ALCONS AUDIO
The CRS8 surround high-fidelity full-range loudspeaker from Alcons Audio is said to combine “an exceptional clarity and intelligibility with low distortion and an unusually high dynamic range”.
Designed for the digital cinema
market, the CRS8 is a two-way passive-filtered loudspeaker and features one RBN401 pro-ribbon driver for MHF and a vented reference-quality 8in mid-bass
for LF reproduction. The RBN401 driver is a
proprietary-designed and multiple-patented pro-ribbon mid/high frequency transducer. Due to the low weight moving mass, Alcons Audio claims that this transducer reproduces sound with up to 90% less distortion than compression driver designs, and in addition the system has a linear response with the same tonal balance at the lowest as well as the highest SPL levels.
Furthermore, the very high
800W peak power handling of the driver offers a 1:16 RMS-to-peak power ratio, enabling true digital cinema dynamics from 1kHz to beyond 20kHz. By utilising the exact same RBN401 transducer as featured in Alcons’ pro-ribbon screen systems, a voicing matching between screen and surround system is realised, resulting in “an exceptionally wide and deep sound stage throughout the entire listening area”, according

to the company. In order to optimise the amplifier loading in immersive surround systems, the CRS8 is also available in 4 ohms impedance. Typical applications for the CRS8 include surround sound systems for premium digital cinemas, performing arts theatres, high-end home theatres, demanding screening rooms and post- production studios, among other facilities.

The Modero S touch panel is designed for cost-sensitive environments
Technology for collaborative environments
AMX
ISE visitors can explore the real-world applications of AMX products in a collaborative environment. Focusing on four key room scenarios found within most commercial environments, the company’s stand gives delegates the opportunity to explore the technological solutions available to them. Commencing in the
reception and working their way through a huddle room, a boardroom and a learning space, visitors can experience how AMX systems control, automate, monitor and manage resources.
Among the technologies on display is Enzo, a meeting room solution that is said to make presenting and sharing information easy, quick and completely painless. Designed specifically for the collaboration space, AMX claims that Enzo is the simplest, fastest way to present and share information during a meeting or lecture, allowing users to easily access content and documents stored on USB, on the web or in the cloud. AMX is also demonstrating its Modero X Series touchpanels. With built-in web browsing and document viewing capabilities, the panels are designed to simplify meeting room technology by eliminating the need for, and cost of, a standalone meeting room PC. In addition, application support allows integrators to extend the functionality of the touch panel beyond simply a control surface.
On show is the latest addition to the Modero touchpanel family, the new Modero S Series, which is said to be ideally suited for more cost-sensitive installations and room scheduling applications. Stand: 1-F2, 1-F6
