ADJ’s Next Generation Beam Fixture Is Here

In home_page, Image, Lighting, Lighting Product News, Product News, Web Articlesby Media

Beam fixtures based on the immensely popular Philips® Platinum 5R lamp, such as ADJ’s Vizi Beam 5RX, have been staples of most concert, festival and superclub lighting rigs for the past decade. Now, the ADJ Vizi Beam 12RX ups the ante with a fixture that is not only noticeably brighter (while still maintaining a relatively low power draw) but also packs in an enhanced feature set to give lighting designers unprecedented creative potential.

The Vizi Beam 12RX harneses the power of a 260W Philips® Platinum 12R LL lamp, which features an innovative reflector design to generate an extremely high-intensity beam. This is coupled with precision-engineered optics and a large glass front lens to allow the fixture to generate an exceptionally potent and sharp beam. It outputs approximately 9,400 lumens (compared to around 8,000 lumens for a 5R fixture) and measures approximately 70,200 lux at 20 metres [65.6 ft] (compared to around 58,000 lux for a 5R model). In practice, this makes for a visibly brighter and more intense beam. In addition, the lamp has an extended lifespan of up to 6,000 hours (increased from 2,000 – 3,000 for the 5R) which significantly reduces the cost and inconvenience of lamp replacements.

In Audio, Audio Product News, home_page, Image, Product News, Web Articlesby Media

Powersoft today announced it has gained certification for its amplifiers to be used in Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) systems according to the European EN 54-16 requirements.

The EN 54-16 certification describes the required testing and performance criteria for a Voice Alarm Control and Indication Equipment (VACIE) for use in alarm systems installed in buildings, where the alarm signal is in the form of a tone, or voice message, or both. The certification now covers the extended range of Powersoft’s fixed install dedicated amplifiers, including the Ottocanali, Quattrocanali, Duecanali, as well as the X Series.

The importance of PAVA systems is widely recognized as an effective way to produce a timely reaction in most people when using voice guidance in emergency situations as opposed to the response to text and alarm bell information, which under half of the individuals respond effectively to. The use of clear vocal messages has been shown to greatly increase the response time and provide the opportunity to guide occupants to the safest escape route.

ARISTA Corporation, recognized globally as a leading manufacturer of professional audio products, AV extenders, matrix switchers, and related products for the professional audio and AV installation markets, is pleased to announce the E-Vocal ARS-1616S-A00 and ARS-1616S-A10 multiple channel analog input and analog output Dante-equipped stage boxes. These rugged standalone units, the size of a 3U rackmount enclosure, are the ideal solution for connecting as many as 16 analog microphones and other audio sources and then feeding a mixing console via Dante using a single Ethernet cable—dramatically streamlining stage setups for live performers.

The ARS-1616S Series Stage boxes are available in two versions: the ARS-1616S-A10 incorporates -8 dB to 34 dB preamp gain control with Phantom Power while the ARS-1616S-A00 does not and would require a separate preamp. In addition to their ability to convert 16 analog audio sources to a Dante stream, the ARS-1616S Stage boxes can also convert a Dante stream into 16 channels of analog output signals—in other words, the units are designed to transfer 16 audio channels over a Dante network in both directions. Equally notable, two etherCON connectors (Dante Primary/Secondary) are available for redundant operation when using two separate networks. For mission-critical operation requirements, dual AC input and dual PoE power sources are available for redundant operation, thus ensuring the most dependable and reliable functionality.

Belgian pro audio manufacturer AUDAC is proud to release the brand new AMP203. The AMP203 is a revolutionary mini stereo amplifier featuring network input through Dante or AES67 providing a complete media networking solution to distribute uncompressed audio via standard Ethernet networks with near-zero latency while allowing all other data to be connected on the same network.

Various DSP functionalities are implemented in the AMP203. This allows all configurations to be made in AUDAC Touch™ 2 or via RS485 and Ethernet, making it a fully-fletched 2 x 30W amplifier. The output connector has been implemented using a 4-pin terminal block connector, featuring an output power of 30W per channel and 60W when bridged.

The AMP203’s brand new TouchLink™ technology provides the perfect solution to create virtual zones by linking multiple TouchLink™ compatible devices such as the AMP203 with each other. In AUDAC Touch™ 2 you can select the devices or amplifier channels that should react to the user as one zone. To make the installation even easier, a PoE injector can be used. This way the AMP203 is connected and powered using only one CAT cable.
