ADB LIGHTING • ALC4
ADB Lighting Technologies’ first LED Cyclorama light, the modular ALC4, is the first Cyclorama fixture of its kind in the world for TV studios
DIRECTORY and theatres. Highly energy efficient, it employs four advanced 40W Philips Lexel RGB+White LED light sources, allowing one ALC4 to deliver
the equivalent of 1,250W of halogen power for an actual power consumption of just 160W. Capable of providing over one million shades of
colour, for extra ease of use, the ALC4 provides seven user-selectable white light presets from 2700K to daylight 6500K. The Lexel LED module
is colour-tuneable (RGBW) and the light is mixed in a mixing chamber. This results in a perfectly homogeneous light output from the module,

ALCONS AUDIO • BRK5LR7
The Alcons LR7 micro pro-ribbon line-array system can be deployed in a wide variety of applications. Now, the new BRK5LR7 extends the
versatility of the LR7 micro line-array system even further; with this swivel yoke, up to five LR7 cabinets in stand-configuration or up to seven

LR7 cabinets in flown configuration can be stand or truss mounted. A truly unique feature of this yoke-mounting solution is the full curving
functionality is maintained, enabling a complete pole-mounted full-sized line-array system. Both the five unit and seven unit configuration can
be connected to one single ALC amplifier channel, for a very efficient system lay-out. The yoke is connected to the middle cabinet with two

DACS AUDIO • CLARITY MICAMP
Easy to set up and use, the DACS Clarity MicAmp produces an extraordinarily clear, uncoloured, detailed and complete sound for recording
everything from voice and acoustic instruments to overheads on drums, with bomb proof input stage and optional in line pad. Its fundamental
features include: 2-channel discrete-component-based microphone amplifier; ultra low noise, ultra low distortion; unmatched transparency of
sound coupled with sonic punch; gain settings in 6dB steps, from +20dB to +62dB, with a 0dB to +10dB trim control; separate non-Phantom
Power input coupled directly to gain stage for dynamic, ribbon and valve mics; flat frequency response from below 20Hz to above 48kHz; and

D.A.S. AUDIO • DSP 2060 & DSP 4080
D.A.S. Audio has launched two new digital signal processors that provide users with a pair of versatile audio management systems. The DSP
2060 and DSP 4080 digital signal processors use the latest in digital signal processing technology such as high-performance 24-bit converters
running at 96kHz on both inputs and outputs, providing a bandwidth of over 30kHz and a dynamic range exceeding 116dB. Two or four fully
c

balanced inputs and up to eight fully balanced outputs, offer increased flexibility. Any input or combination of inputs can be assigned to any
output, forming a completely flexible matrix. To simplify configuration, a template selection is available to set-up the system, easily taking care of
routing and selecting useful crossover points. Each input channel offers eight bands of fully parametric equalisation with each output features
up to nine parametric sections. The sections can be reconfigured to alternate filter types including high and low shelves and notch filters, along

ers from over-excursion / over-driving, and another ‘look-ahead’ limiter for added safety. Crossover filters offer slope rates from 6dB / Octave to
w 48dB / Octave and phase adjustment is available in two degree steps.
DENON • DN-X1700 MIXER & DN-S3700 TURNTABLE
The DN-X1700 mixer is spacious, has highly tactile control layout features, studio quality 60mm Alps K Series channel faders, and a 45mm
