Integrated Systems Europe 2014


Early February approaches, and that means the ISE show in Amsterdam. Here’s a round-up of what you might see on the showfloor at the RAI exhibition centre...


A COMPLETE new range of power amplifiers is being


introduced by Apart Audio at this year’s ISE show. The REVAMP series – which comprises five products – has been designed with as few front controls as possible together with pre-defined settings which, says the company, makes an installation tamper- proof and hassle-free. The series includes the


REVAMP2250 is a 2-channel digital power amplifier (Hypex- powered) with 2 x 250 watts output @ 4 ohms, but is also bridgeable to 1 x 500 watts @ 8 ohms; and the REVAMP4240T with four channels of 240 watts output or two of 480 watts. Also new from Apart Audio


are two new loudspeakers. The VINC14-BL/VINC14-W is a 6 ohm hi-fi bookshelf loudspeaker with a wooden bass reflex housing, 4-inch coated paper cone woofer and ¾-inch silk dome tweeter. The CM6TSMF is a 6.5-inch all metal powder coated built-in loudspeaker with a safety metal dome. Fireproof, it has a quick-fit metal mounting system with a 100% air-tight back-can, meaning that it can maintain the air separation between above and below the ceiling material – a feature often requested, says the company, by fire safety officers.

The Clear-Com RS-700 partyline beltpack family will make its European debut


well as individual tone control for each zone. In addition, this amplifier has a selective call- up capability.


The PM-2S01 is a 10-channel


The 4000 Series from Genelec is a strong player in the critical commercial installation sector


The range of mixing amplifiers


produced by Artsound has been expanded with a larger version, the Artsound MX-500S, which is an integrated 100 V mixing amplifier with a 500W capacity. At the touch of a button, five volume zones can be created, as


preamplifier whose signals can be transmitted to two zones. It has individual volume control (per channel) and is said to be ideal for connecting up several microphones or sources. Also being showcased is the PR-1240, a 240W power amplifier which, says Artsound, is suitable for users wishing to expand four-channel amplifiers to five or six zones for example. The new C-Mark 24-channel digital mixer, CDM24, boasts a friendly design, networking, easy operation and cost-effectiveness. It is aimed at use for performances, conferences, schools and recording. On the input side it offers 16 mic/line plus four stereo analogue inputs (with +48v phantom power and phase switch on each


Mic input channel), two SPDIF coaxial and two SPDIF optical fibre ports, an AEX/EBU port, and one on-board digital audio source. At its core is a fourth-generation


SHARC floating processor. It has an aluminium shell, with dual power supplies, 100mm faders and a large TFT control screen, with 50 scene settings and tune out, fader tracking mode, abundant pre-set and user settings. Clear-Com is returning to the RAI to debut its RS-700 Series analogue partyline beltpacks to ISE visitors. The new beltpacks are said


to feature state-of-the-art performance and exceptional audio clarity for partyline communications in small- to mid- sized productions. The beltpacks’ wide dynamic range and audio contouring enable intelligible voice communication for every audio level, from a whisper to a shout, supported by user-


selectable mic and listening level options and built-in limiters. According to the company, all RS-700 Series beltpacks are equipped with XLR line connectors that serve the needs of all users, be it first timers or experienced professionals. The 700 Series beltpacks require a lower operating current for additional beltpack drops. Moreover, they are built to be fully compatible with all Clear- Com legacy partyline systems. The latest addition to the 4000 Series of loudspeakers, designed for the AV install market, is on show at the Genelec stand. The company hopes that the new product will broaden the appeal of an already successful series and reinforce its position as a leading loudspeaker brand for fixed audio installations. Genelec 4000 Series active loudspeakers are suited to music playback and speech amplification projects, which makes them a strong choice for critical commercial installations. The Directivity Control


Waveguide provides broad and flat coverage for precise imaging in all environments, while Practical Room Response Controls optimise the loudspeaker’s tonal characteristics for any environment.


The 4000 Series is compliant with the Energy Related Products (ERP) Directive which requires that standby power consumption for any product is under 0.5W. The company has achieved this using its proprietary Intelligent Signal-Sensing (ISS) feature. Designed for the calibration


and verification of cinema sound systems, the XL2 Cinema Meter from NTi Audio is being showcased by the company at ISE. Taking NTi Audio’s XL2 acoustic and audio analyser and extending its capability with the cinema option, an interactive assistant guides the cinema engineer through dedicated measurement scripts for what the company describes as intuitive management of audio performance requirements. Cinemas may be calibrated


efficiently and verified according to the SMPTE ST 202:2010 standard and RP 200:2012 recommended practice, making the XL2 Analyzer a valuable tool for every cinema engineer. With the introduction of dBu, dBV and volt measurement units, the hand-held XL2 Analyzer is now able to determine the spectrum of audio devices,
