measuring the frequency response as well as the intrinsic noise spectrum of an audio device. Riedel Communications will


feature its new CPX-AVB expansion card for Riedel Artist 1100 series control panels. The CPX-AVB provides the next generation of AVB interfacing for Riedel Artist digital matrix intercom control panels. The CPX-AVB is a dedicated


card that fits in the expansion slot of the Artist 1100 series OLED control panels. The card turns the control panel into an AVB- enabled device, in turn making the panel’s ports available within the entire AVB network. The expansion card converts two Artist ports to the AVB network and vice-versa. Shure will present a selected


product portfolio for installed audio applications at the show. Among the highlights are wireless solutions for demanding installed applications, discussion and conferencing systems as well as wired microphone lines for diverse requirements and budgets. The company has announced


that Digital Feedback Reduction (DFR) is now available as part of a free firmware update to the SCM820 Digital IntelliMix Automatic Mixer. Features in the latest firmware update, which is supported by version 1.1.X or higher, include two channels of patented DFR that can be assigned to input channels and mix outputs, automatic feedback detection and filter deployment, the ability to apply up to 16 filters per channel, 25Hz to 20kHz bandwidth, and up to 18dB gain reduction per filter.

UNIQUE CUSTOMfinish options have been added to SoundTube’s 3-way columnar line array featuring the LA880i and LA-808i LFDE products.


The LA880i is said to provide a very short near-field extent and robust far-field performance. Utilising an advanced LAPS (Line Array – Point Source) design, near- field to far-field transition occurs at only three metres from the speaker. Beyond this distance, the speaker’s directivity is a constant 40 x 120 degrees and the frequency response remains consistent throughout the coverage area.


Featuring eight 4.5-inch woofers, eight 2-inch midrange drivers and one


2.5-inch planar magnetics (ribbon) high frequency driver for extremely smooth high frequency response, SoundTube says that the LA-880i achieves superb coverage in a relatively compact enclosure.


Numerous mounting options allow the use of the LA-880i on walls, near ceilings, on poles, or suspended via cables (flown).


For spaces with high


reverberation time, additional low frequency directivity can be achieved by adding the LA-808i LFDE (Low


Frequency Directivity Element).


SoundTube’s LA880i and LA-808i LFDE are no longer available in just black or white


This unit is installed either above or below the LA-880i to enhance the directivity of low frequencies by up to an octave lower than with the LA-880i alone.


Standard finishes for the LA Series are black and white (paintable). Partnering with sister company Induction


Dynamics, SoundTube now offers the line array products with custom paint finishes or wood grain veneers.


control system that includes amplifier, mixers and more has been introduced by Sommer Cable. The Cardinal DVM 194 series promises to be a “very reasonably priced and fully modular device generation which offers an unprecedented flexibility”. It can be used as a fully closed system or as an open system with free interfaces. Sommer Cable showed


prototype DVM 194 units at ISE last year. “Since the interest did not fade, we were refining the prototypes last year and can now present a DVM 194 series which will hit the market with a lot of extra features,” says Peter Rieck, key account and distribution manager, Sommer Cable. All the devices are fully

are based on the same controller platform. Set-up is quickly done without programming through the integrated web interface. The range includes: the DVM- 194-CON Media Controller, with four RS232 interfaces for bi- directional communication with connected devices (such as a motor-driven canvas, a beamer lift or blackout equipment), plus 12 momentary switch interfaces and 12 programmable LED outputs. The compact DVM-194- AMP Mini High- Performance Amplifier delivers two 100W channels into 4 ohms (50W @ 8 ohms) and produces almost no waste heat, while the DVM-194-AMIX Automatic Mix Machine offers “an unprecedented degree of automation”, with gain and level adjustable on all channels


(including keeping microphone channels at a desired level). A range of new digital audio and security products from TOA is being demonstrated throughout ISE 2014. Among other items, visitors can see the SR-D8 active line array speaker in action with embedded GUI-operated software working alongside it. Other products with a digital spine on show include the company’s M-864D and M-633D digital stereo mixers, which are exhibited integrated into live systems. TOA’s range of EN-54 compliant PA/VA systems, already in use around the world, include the VM-3000,


Products. “Systems managers are increasingly faced with guaranteed up-time targets across diversely located equipment facilities. In today’s cost- conscious and environmentally sensitive world, streamlining maintenance and support teams and minimising energy consumption is paramount. We’ve developed our power management range with these challenges in mind.” Its new Vertical Intelligent


Power distribution unit provides all the power and features of TSL’s intelligent power distribution line in a vertical format, to maximise rack space and streamline installation and configuration. Its smart power management dashboard, PsiMon, a SQL server- based system allows users to monitor and control the power levels of a multitude of rack- mounted devices remotely, ranging from temperature and voltage to GPIs and equipment fuse status, enabling rapid fault-location. Several new products for the


installation market are making their debut at the Yamaha Music Europe GmbHstand. Among other items,


On the Mark: the new CDM24 digital audio mixer


a multifunctional Voice Evacuation system which suits small- to medium-sized applications such as shopping centres, retail stores and schools. Also on display is the SX-2000 system combined with the VP-3000 Quad Digital Amplifier, installed in large factory sites and shopping malls. A range of Trantec Wireless Systems and accessories, including the brand new Trantec dual RX2 system taken from the S4.16 Series, is also viewable on the TOA stand. New power management systems that are claimed to offer considerable savings in staff and energy costs for IT and broadcast applications are being shown by TSL Products. “Effectively managing the equipment required to maintain system viability, IT and broadcast infrastructure has never been more challenging,” says Chris Exelby, managing director at TSL


Yamaha is adding to its Commercial Installation Solutions (CIS) series with EN54-24 certified versions of the VXC and VXS loudspeaker ranges, which are specifically designed for use in PA/VA voice alarm systems. At the show, Yamaha is demonstrating its full CIS series, including all VXC and VXS loudspeakers, XMV multi- channel amplifiers, MTX matrix processors and DCP controllers. The company is also demonstrating its Commercial Installation Solutions Speaker Calculator (CISSCA) software. Available as a free download from the Yamaha Pro Audio web site, this Windows application helps calculate the number of speakers required for optimum performance in a room size specified by the user. It also helps users work out the effective sound pressure level of the system.
