Adamson will debut the new E219 subwoofer, the latest addition to its Energia family, at InfoComm this year. The E219 is loaded with two lightweight, long-excursion 19-inch SD19 Kevlar neodymium drivers using Adamson’s advanced cone architecture. The drivers employ dual fi ve-inch voice coils for exceptional power handling, and are mounted in an ultra-effi cient front-loaded enclosure, designed to reproduce clean, musical low- frequency information. ESP/SurgeX will showcase the Envision power conditioning system, an energy intelligence solution that measures and records power disturbances in detailed real-time reports and displays. ESP says the solution allows integrators to quickly identify power problems that can cause lock-ups and copy quality issues.

Stephen F. Galloway, president and CEO, says: “Envision is the most advanced energy intelligence and power protection tool ESP has developed to date, and it will solve a lot of headaches for service departments.

LATEST CROWN AMPS “TO BE AVNU-CERTIFIED”


HARMAN’S CROWN Audio has expanded its DriveCore Install (DCi) amp range with what are expected to be “fi rst professional audio amplifi ers to be certifi ed by the AVnu Alliance”. Two models have been revealed, the eight-channel 8|600ND (for Network Display) and the four-channel 4|1250ND power amplifi ers, both featuring front-panel status displays. While the amps are shipping now, the AVB (audio video bridging) certifi cation remains imminent but not yet confi rmed. “The certifi ed fi rmware will be released when it passes all the AVnu certifi cation and interoperability testing requirements at the third-party


testing lab: the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab,” said Alex Crabb, spokesman for AVnu Alliance, the industry forum dedicated to the advancement of the AVB technical standard. “[The fi rmware] is going through this process now and is expected to be among the fi rst AVnu- certifi ed endpoints to pass all the robust tests. This should be announced very close to, if not at, InfoComm.” Crabb confi rmed that products from Meyer Sound and AudioScience (a US-based developer of DSP- based digital audio peripherals) are “extremely close” to becoming AVnu-certifi ed, “but we haven’t


announced a certifi ed end point yet”. The Crown amps will be only the second group of products to be ratifi ed as AVB-ready since the certifi cation scheme was announced in 2012, after a range of 16 X440 Extreme Networks switches, certifi ed in January. An expectant Crown Audio business segment manager Daniel Saez stated: “Combining DriveCore technology with AVB represents another fi rst from Crown as we continue to lead the way for professional amplifi er innovation for the most demanding large-scale environments.” www.avnu.org www.harman.com
