Ribbons for every occasion
Audio Technica AT4080 & AT4081

With the groundbreaking AT4080 and AT4081, Audio-Technica has achieved the coveted ribbon microphone sound while
solving the problems of fragility and low output that have historically plagued ribbon mics.

Equally at home in recording studios or live-sound settings, these all new microphone feature Audio-Technica’s innovative
MicroLinear™ ribbon imprint, which protects the dual ribbons from lateral flexing and distortion.

With 18 patents pending, Audio-Technica’s innovative ribbon transducer advances the evolution of ribbon microphone
design. They are the company’s first ever ribbon mics and offer smooth, natural, articulate audio quality that meets the
critical requirements of today’s recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement professionals.

The AT4080, with an appearance like a classic ‘suspension cradled’ side-addressed condenser, is recommended for vocals,
horns, strings, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, orchestras, ensembles and guitar cabinets. The AT4081, which looks
more like a pencil condenser, is optimised for strings, saxophones and other horns, acoustic instruments, drum overheads,
orchestras, ensembles and guitar cabinets; its low-profile stick design maximises placement options. Both mics excel in
recording studios as well as in live-sound settings.

Extremely powerful N50 rare-earth neodymium magnets provide high output levels, and the mics’ innovative dual ribbon
construction offers increased sensitivity and SPL handling capability. Both microphones require 48V phantom power to drive
their active electronics which enable them to deliver output close to condenser microphone levels.

Each is handmade in Japan, including ribbon corrugation, imprint and assembly and like all 40 Series microphones, each and
every AT4080 and AT4081 is individually tested and inspected for 100 percent quality assurance.


Retail prices for the AT4080 and AT4081 are $1,295 and $995 respectively.

Klark Teknik introduces the DN 9696 High Resolution Recorder
Extremely easy to use, simple to setup, standalone .......
The concert sound industry is constantly evolving. Bands and artists are increasingly being recorded for live CDs, DVDs, Internet releases and for general archive purposes; all are extremely valuable additional revenue streams for both the artist and service companies alike.
Secondly, with limited production rehearsals now being the norm, mix engineers require live recordings so that a “virtual sound check” can be performed. This removes the need to directly involve the artist, and all the associated additional expense and time that a traditional sound check or rehearsal process incurs. The “virtual sound check” also allows the mix engineer the time to fine tune his mix and use the full potential that digital console automation offers.
To help meet the concert sound industry’s requirements, Klark Teknik has engineered an extremely easy to use, simple to setup, standalone hard disk recorder - the DN9696. This High Resolution Audio Recorder offers 96 tracks of 96kHz audio at 24bit, with a massive nine hours of internal storage. There is now no need for external computers linked to multiple non-roadworthy systems with complicated interconnections, just a
simple plug and play unit with dedicated Play, Stop and Record front panel transport controls.
The screen based software interface offers in-depth control of both recording and playback functions. There are echoes of the unique features of Midas’ digital audio systems within the DN9696, for example the use of POPulation groups to view, colour and edit tracks, an ‘Input Sheet’ for quickly naming all tracks as well as ‘dual operator’ control of the system.
The DN9696 occupies only 5U of rack space with very simple cable requirements and does not demand the expense of a dedicated recording technician. After all, all you really need is Record, Stop and Play.

ARX USB DI
The mini jack was never meant to be a pro connector

In response to many requests from users of our original USB DI who have been using it for specific applications, ARX is excited to present the new ARX USB DI-VC - everything that the original USB DI was, with the addition of an output level control. It is still a true Plug and Play digital to analog pro audio interface, removing the need to use any existing sound card outputs, but now the output level can be modified quickly and accurately..

Naturally it still features full transformer balanced output isolation to eliminate earth loops / ground hum and other extraneous interaction noise and distortion.
The addition of the volume control allows the USB DI-VC to be used without a mixer. This is a very useful option when driving active loudspeakers from a laptop - the level control lets you reduce the level instantly to suit the required SPL, which still retaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Plug and Play
The USB DI-VC installs as a fully compatible generic USB audio device, requiring no special driver program installation on Mac OSX, Win XP and Vista.
The rear panel has a Type B USB input connector while the front panel has an Output Level control and two transformer balanced analog audio XLR Line out connectors for connecting to any standard balanced analog input.
A status LED on the rear panel next to the USB Input indicates that the USB DI-VC is connected and operating.
The USB DI-VC is housed in a heavy duty all-steel chassis finished in attractive matt textured powdercoat, with hardwearing epoxy screen printing and slip resistant rubber pads. It is ideal for interfacing any USB equipped computer (especially notebook computers) with the balanced inputs of professional sound systems.

New from LSC the Redback series dimmers
The concept behind the Redback project was to produce a feature rich, high quality and reliable dimmer in a small compact footprint at a very affordable price. After extensive development and product testing, we can confidently say we have delivered these objectives. The range is designed for mass manufacture, hence minimising labour content, increasing our economies of scale and reducing the overall build price without compromising quality. It is, undoubtedly, one of the best dimmers designed and manufactured by LSC in its 30 year history.
The Redback dimmers released last year are 6-channel units, a product range not previously manufactured by LSC. The 12-channel variants will now replace the successful ePAK and iPAK range of dimmers that have become benchmarks within the Australian Lighting Industry for the last 10 years. Note that the ePRO and iPRO dimmers will continue.
The Redback 12 channel dimmers are designed to be class leaders, and so are fully compliant with the new RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol, allowing remote configuration from any RDM compatible controller. This new functionality will also soon be available as a free software update for all existing 6-channel Redback dimmer racks.
The Redback dimmer range, like all of the LSC product range, is certified as a "Product of Australia". This means that it is completely manufactured in Australia, NOT just assembled out of imported modules. This ensures the highest level of local content, resulting in LSC's legendary reliability - not to mention local jobs.

Photo: Courtesy of photographer; Tony Lewis
March has been busy for Osmond's
The Adelaide Cup long weekend saw Adelaide's Botanic Gardens given over to Womadelaide and the sound and look of world music and dance with performances from artists hailing from all over the planet. Osmonds provided lighting for Stages one through seven, all audio for Stage two and the FOH PA system on Stage three.

With a request for specific coverage and a limited weight allowance on the roof structure, stage two audio called for Osmond's venerable X-Array system. Many said it was the best sounding system in the park. Many thanks are due to Tim Freedman, Nigel Sweeting, Evan James and Craig McCowat.
The lighting across all stages varied from spectacular to sublime thanks to the designs of the Adelaide Festival Centre's Chris Searle and his team of skilled operators.
The following weekend was up and coming Adelaide Hip Hop act Funkoars sold out Thebarton Theatre gig as part of their recent Australian tour. Osmond's provided lighting, LED video screens with an ArKaos system and of course plenty of EV, KT & Midas gear.
Osmond's supplied their new Midas Digital Pro6 for monitors utilising the second analogue preamp to supply Mick Wordley's Mixmasters with inputs to their Radar hard disk recording system for a subsequent DVD release.
We rolled out of Thebby and straight into the Clipsal 500 After Race Concerts.
For the last ten years, Osmond Electronics have provided production sound and lights for the Clipsal 500 after race concerts. With 4 national bands plus locals playing each night to an average audience in excess of 20,000.
Clipsal 500 after race concert.
This years artist roster included;
Potbelleez
The Butterfly Effect
Gyroscope
The Living End
Operator Please

Pete Murray
The Presets
Beccy Cole
The McClymonts
Lee Kernaghan
Wolf & Cub
The Getaway Plan
Wolfmother
as well as local acts The Shiny Brights, Delamare, The Borderers and No Through Road.
FOH consoles were Osmond's Midas Heritage 3000 as well as our Midas Digital Pro6. Good use was made of the Pro6 ancillary features. We utilised the AES output cards on stage to maintain audio in the digital realm from microphone cable to processor. The Klark Teknik DN9848 processors were controlled via PC @ FOH through the Pro6's ethernet tunnel. The Heritage was sent analogue to the 9848's allowing consoles to be controlled separately via the Elgar Shell DN9848 remote.

Lighting was as always impressive. Osmond Electronics Justin Accatino designed a rig to suit all of the weekends performers. Justin made use of our extensive inventory of Martin "Mac" moving lights as well as Studio Duo City Colours, Selecon fresnels and profiles, and DMT LED panels. Operators had a choice of boards from which to operate including a MA Lighting "GrandMA", Flying Pigs "Hog IPC" and the straight ahead Jands Hog 1000. The led panels were driven by our ArKaos control.
After a solid month gigs & prep, we hit the home straight.
The Bundaleer Fine Music Weekend is held Bi-Annually in the natural amphitheater of an old growth forrest three hours North of Adelaide and caters to classical music lovers that don't mind the dust. Osmond's have supplied all sound and lighting for the festival for the last ten years.
Performances included The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra with guest solists including world renowned operatic Tenor Simon O'Neil and Soprano, Cheryl Barker, The Australian String Quartet, The Adelaide Chamber Singers (featuring Sir Donald Bradmans Grand-daughter Gretta) and world renowned Clarinetist Andy Firth ably backed by the International award winning Band of the South Australia Police.
With in excess of 90 inputs from stage, FOH control was once again the trusty Heritage & the new Midas Digital Pro6.
Bundaleer Forest 09 featuring the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra
Organisers described the sound as "breathtaking" and stated that they could not wish for anything better......and they all listen to ABC Classical!
Justin lit the performances with taste and subtlety, using a mixture of fresnels, profiles, intelligent lights and LED fixtures.
With the majority of Osmond's equipment now back in the warehouse, we are carefully going through each piece of equipment used, cleaning, repairing, repainting, so that you can be assured that all of our gear will be ready for you to use on your next performance.

Used for Sale 10 Available LAB GRUPPEN fP3400 Amplifiers
LAB GRUPPEN fP3400 1500W into 4 Ohms Stereo & 3000W 8 Ohms Bridged
$3900.00 INC G.S.T. 10 AVAILABLE
The fP 3400 is a lightweight and space-saving power amplifier, ideal for use in high quality touring sound systems as well as in demanding permanent installations. Heat and cooling are fundamental problems in many extreme high power amplifiers similar to the fP 3400.
In 1990, Lab.gruppen patented a high efficiency amplifier called fP 3400. This development was an evolutionary step past the Class D amplifier. Lab.gruppen call this unique step forward: Class TD. This stands for: Tracking Class D.
Class TD obtains the same high efficiency as Class D, while avoiding the main drawbacks. Class D has a power-amplifier topology using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to achieve high efficiency, but it needs a recovery filter between the output stage and the loudspeaker.
Lab.gruppen’s Class TD amplifiers do not need this filter and this is one reason why the Lab.gruppen Class TD obtains the same sonic quality as a traditional Class AB amplifier.

Sophisticated protection circuitry, combining:
– DC protection; protects against infrasonic signals.
– VHF protection; protects the loudspeakers against strong very high frequency non-musical signals above the audible range.
– Thermal protection; prevents the amplifier from being overheated. The protection indicators on the front panel are switched on, as a warning, before the protection process is initiated.
– AC protection; shuts down the power supply if the line voltage is outside the operating voltage.
– Clip limiter; prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching the loudspeakers, whilst maintaining full peak power.
Regulated switch mode power supply Today
There are many lightweight, switch-mode amplifiers in the market. However, the unique Lab.gruppen switch-mode power supply technology offers a number of essential advantages that make it superior to other and seemingly similar power supply designs. The most important features are the regulated power supply and the extreme power efficiency. The regulated power supply easily deals with a very high variation in the AC mains voltage:it can drop by up to 20% below its nominal level – e.g. to 180 V instead of 230 V – without any problem. Perhaps even greater benefits result from the extreme efficiency of Lab.gruppen amplifiers: only a fraction of the energy from the AC mains is turned into heat.
A regulated power supply also presents some other sonic advantages, such as better cone control and the same fast response as a conventional power supply.
Multiple positions Gain switch
To meet the demands for a flexible gain structure in the system, Lab.gruppen offers a multiple position gain switch. The maximum amplifier gain can be set to all industry standards: 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35, 38 and 41 dB.

MIDAS LAUNCHES OFFLINE EDITOR FOR PRO6 AT PROLIGHT + SOUND FRANKFURT 2009


Frankfurt, April 2009: Midas has announced details of the much-anticipated Offline Editor software suite for the PRO6 and the XL8 digital systems. The exclusively Mac-based application will shortly be available as a zero-cost download from www.midasconsoles.com, and allows a console showfile to be created on a compatible Mac computer.
An operational version of the console GUI (Graphical user Interface) will be displayed on the Mac, identical to the screen views on the console itself. The resulting showfile is saved to the Mac’s hard drive, and can be manipulated, copied, emailed etc as a normal file and loaded into a Midas PRO6 or XL8 via removable USB drive, preparing the console for immediate operation. Shows created for PRO6 consoles will run on XL8 systems, and vice versa, subject to system capacity limitations.
The Offline Editor can also be used for operators to familiarise themselves with the features and functionality of the console, prior to operation.
“We’re delighted with the early feedback we’ve had from our customers, regarding the Offline Editors’ ease of use, and the way it replicates the consoles’ user interface,” says Midas and Klark Teknik brand development manager Richard Ferriday. “We anticipate this free software will introduce the Midas approach to digital mixing to all those engineers who haven’t yet had a chance to get their hands on the hardware, as well as making it easy to pre-configure a console before a show.”

JUST IN ! grandMA NSP
Ethernet network technology provides the ideal platform for integrated controller solutions
Network Signal Processor (NSP)
External channel expansion for grandMA systems
DMX output in combination with grandMA onPC
Can be controlled via MA-Net and Art-Net
Supports four independent DMX universes, two of which can be used as inputs
Connectors for external VGA monitor, mouse and keyboard
LED indicators for network and DMX activities
Ethernet network technology provides the ideal platform for integrated controller solutions. On the one hand, the use of standardised industrial components meets the ever increasing demands for reliability and on the other hand it is possible to connect diverse controller applications with different components and protocols using the same platform. The network signal processor (NSP) is the link between the world of Ethernet and DMX controlled devices. The NSP can also be used for additional control applications; its full capabilities are realised when it is operated in a MA Net. The NSP can be used for a total of six different applications.
High speed for your data
For decentralised DMX networks, the Network Signal Processor (NSP) converts the incoming Ethernet data into DMX 512 data. For converting DMX data, two Ethernet protocols are supported: MA-Net and Art-Net.
Data output is by means of four independent DMX connectors, two of which can also be configured as DMX inputs. The NSP features an intuitive menu structure, four function keys and an encoder wheel for easy configuration on site. A backlit LCD display with two lines of text shows all of the important information and the operating status.
For professional application and maximum flexibility, the NSP is built in a 19-inch housing which is only 1U in height.
Uplink to the World – the six operational modes of the Network Signal Processor
You may choose between six modes of operation when using the Network Signal Processor. Depending on your application, a NSP can convert DMX inputs and outputs in an Ethernet, serve as a DMX merger or booster, or even expand your grandMA system by additional parameters.
More channels for everyone –
Circuit expansion and multi processing
In an MA-Net, the NSP can be used as a decentralised channel expansion for all grandMA consoles (except grandMA micro). For this purpose, not only the DMX signals are distributed among the NSPs, but so are all
calculations necessary. With NSPs, the grandMA console becomes a powerful multi-processor system.
The fast, bidirectional data exchange between the grandMA console and the NSPs ensures that DMX output on all NSP units is perfectly synchronized.
Each NSP can calculate 2048 channels. A maximum of 16 NSPs can be used for the output of 64 DMX lines (32,768 channels).
Multi-user und backup systems –
The NSP as the centrepiece for shared use and backup systems
In a network, several consoles share the NSPs available. This easily allows the shared use of DMX enabled devices as well as provides for a redundant mode of operation without additional components such as DMX mergers.
Offline becomes “Online“! NSP – More than just a dongle
Any NSP connected to grandMA onPC allows the offline software to send “real” DMX data. A total of two NSPs can be connected to a
grandMA onPC (grandMA offline).
This possibility turns grandMA onPC into a full-featured lighting control system for up to 8 DMX lines.
When used in a shared network with a grandMA lighting console and one or more NSPs, grandMA onPC becomes a full-tracking backup system for up to 16,348 parameters (32,768 channels).

Midas PRO 6 Digital Console
OVER 200 PRO 6 SYSTEMS IN USE
Midas Pro 6 at the Bundaleer Forest 09 series of concerts with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra


The Pro 6 continues the tradition in digital already established with the flagship Midas XL 8 system with audio performance that has some engineers claiming that Midas digital sounds better than Midas analogue. The system is cross compatible with the XL 8 with the ability to share show files and hardware.
The Osmond's Pro 6 is supplied with the I/O that is commonly seen with the XL 8, featuring dual DL 431 input boxes that provide a total of five output splits from a single input with dual pre-amp control providing both digital (AES50), and analogue splits. In addition the system is fitted with the DL 451 I/O box that provides remote inputs and outputs for the system in addition to a DL 451 that is built into the actual surface itself. Each DL 451 contains three module slots that allow for input and output modules to be changed and moved around within the system. The system as shipped provides the following facilities;
48 x inputs with dual pre-amp control and five way split
8 x inputs without split
8 x AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs
24 x outputs on XLR
8 x inputs on 6.5 TRS
8 x outputs on 6.5 TRS
1 x DN9331 Helix RapidE which offers direct access to all of the Pro6 graphic equalisation functions.
 
The system comes with two 100m Cat5E cables on drums that provides an active plus redundant multi-core system with the ability of feeding 264 channels bi-directionaly.
 
The system has the ability of accessing 8 full function stereo effects devices as well as up to 36 Klark Teknik DN370 / DN27 equalizer channels. In addition each input channel has the option of four different compressor modes as well as a gate. The input equalizer section also allows for the ability to change the EQ mode to replicate classic Midas equalizers of the past (Pro 40, XL 3, XL 4). On top of that each output in the console has a six band parametric across it as well as five different compressor options. The surface is equipped with two daylight viewable screens with the ability to separate the right hand side of the console as a 'B' area independent of the left side.
 
The one aspect that has attracted the most attention around the world with Midas digital is the use of population groups as a means of navigating the system, this has received significant acclaim that results in the ability to bring mix channels to the engineer quickly with all functions relating to the channel appearing on the surface at the time.
 
Already the Pro 6 system has created significant interest abroad with major U.K. rental companies Brittania Row and SSE have ordered six Pro 6 systems each with Clair Bros in the U.S. having their first two systems now out on the road with AC/DC on the start of their world tour.

Alta Moda
Unicomp Audio Compressor
The Unicomp audio compressor combines the best featues of both modern and classical audio compressors into a single, dual-mono unit. At its heart is a unique gain cell/sidechain combination which gives the Unicomp its own distinctive sonic character. The Unicomp's comprehensive set of sidechain features gives it true versatilty and accuracy which make the unit superblysuited for tracking, mixing and mastering applications.
The Unicomp boasts a fully discrete, class ‘A’, high voltage minimalist audio path. The amplifiers are DC servo-coupled, eliminating all coupling capacitors in the signal path.
The sidechain features a high accuracy logarithmic-scaled detector, with a choice of operating in RMS or peak rectifier modes. The Unicomp also allows the user, with a single switch, to change the compressor topology from a modern and accurate feedfoward detection scheme, to the classic and more colorful feedback approach; completely changing the sonic personality of the unit.
The Unicomp’s personality is further changed with the addition of the Warmth control. Turning this control adds rich, second harmonic distortion to the signal that increases as compression increases, adding even more character to the sound. A switchable filter changes the contour of the affected signal, useful when processing more complex signals, such as mixes.
Another unusual feature of the unit is the Blend control. The Blend control allows the operator to mix unprocessed signal back into the compressor’s output path. This gives one the ability to create a more subtle compression effect on tracks such as vocals, or for blending back dry signal when heavy buss compression effects such as drum submixes are being processed. A high pass filter is included which blends only the higher audio frequencies back into the output path.
FEATURES
• Class A high voltage, discrete capacitor-free signal path.
• Electronically balanced input, impedance balanced, single-ended output,
pin 2 hot.
• FET-based wide dynamic range gain cell eliminates the need for an input
control.
• Log-scaled detector responds more like the human ear than linear detection systems.
• Choice of RMS (excellent for overall level reduction) or Peak mode (great for catching fast transients).
• Threshold knee control – can switch between hard knee for instantaneous
gain reduction, or Soft knee mode, for a subtle engaging of compression over several dB.
• Continuously variable Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release controls.
• Switchable Sidechain insert for keying and detector signal equalization.
• Feedfoward/Feedback – switches between the basic topologies. Feedfoward
is precise and can yield high compression ratios. Feedback mode is more
subtle, and can yield interesting compression artifacts, including the shifting
of attack and release time constants.
• Warmth control – adds 2nd harmonic distortion, increasing as compression increases.
• Warmth filter – high pass filter bringing out more mid-range frequency
distortion.
• Blend – mixes dry, input signal back into output path.
• Blend filter- high pass filter returns only dry, upper frequencies back into
output.
• Dual Mono/Stereo – completely independent channels can be linked for
stereo operation. Sidechains are summed after the rectifiers.
• Gain Makeup – increases output amplifier level to compensate for lost level
when compressing.
• Selectable operating levels – can be switched to be interfaced at 4dB or
-10 dB levels.
• High quality construction – premium components for long life.

EV X-Array rocks on AC/DC's Black Ice Tour
Touring for the first time since 2003, rock legends AC/DC are once again on the road with the only speaker system able to reproduce their full-bore sonic assault to their satisfaction: X - Array from Electro-Voice. The tour celebrates the band's most recent album 'Black Ice,' their 19th studio album in 36 years. The X-Array system for the tour was designed by long-time Electro-Voice user and consultant Harry Witz of Clair Global, the man behind some of the largest PA system designs of all time.
Front of House Engineer Paul “Pab” Boothroyd
Analog-centric AC/DC also favours the warm, responsive sound of Midas mixing consoles. The Black Ice Tour's console spec includes a vintage Pro 40 and a Heritage 4000 operated by Front of House Engineer Paul "Pab" Boothroyd (who is also Sir Paul McCartney's FOH man) and Monitor Engineer Mike Adams, respectively. A Klark Teknik DN9696 - the world's most powerful digital recorder - adds a high-tech edge to Front of House.
These ingredients add up to one seriously powerful rock 'n' roll machine, as the 500,000 - plus people who have already checked out the tour's North America leg with testify. Over one million people will have seen the show by the time the tour ends in Glasgow in June.
To provide sound to do justice to AC/DC's hard-rocking reputation, Witz and Boothroyd needed boxes capable of filling arenas with high SPL, highly intelligible sound night after night, as well as working seamlessly with the warm, full sound of the equipment at Front of House.
AC/DC required speakers that could blow their audience away both sonically and visually, steering away from line array designs lacking physical size. Having had great results on these same terms with X- Array on their last tour, they choose to stick with the winning formula. However, new system tweaks by Witz and his team had the X-Array system sounding as good as any state-of-the-art line array out there, but with all the muscle of far more moving air.
As AC/DC's last leg of its North American tour enters its final weeks, Witz and his team report that the response to PA has been excellent, and it has become apparent that the band and its crew made the right decision by once again choosing Electro-Voice X-Array for its touring rig. X-Array has set the standard for performance and ease-of-use in touring applications for many years, and has long been considered the ultimate in touring system technology. It's hard to argue with legends like AC/DC. Or half a million of their fans.

Glaciator X-Stream
Heavy Fog without the need for Dry Ice or CO2
There’s no doubt about it! A stage covered with a blanket of white, dense low lying fog is a dramatic and classical theatrical effect. However, when touring the effect is all too often edited from productions because dry ice is too difficult to source, impossible to store and very messy to use, requiring gallons of boiling water to activate the fog effect. There is another problem as well - dry ice isn’t dry. Performers often have to contend with wet and slippery stages.
The Glaciator X-Stream houses a remarkably powerful compressor, allowing colossal fog output levels. And because of its advanced, electronically controlled expansion valve, it has a rapid freeze down time and a fast recovery when fired. This means the Glaciator X-Stream runs continuously, - almost infinitely, with a cool ease.

No need for a separate fog generator - Glaciator is completely self contained!
No need for separate gas cylinders or Dewar vessels

A split baffle creates two very important benefits: moving the acoustic origins of the compression driver and woofer close together, and the split in the baffle becomes the port, allowing for a much more compact enclosure. The result of this design is “signal synchronized” with nearly perfect phase summation. With a unique Backbone grille, Tour X FM models not only look great, but also provide greater strength and damage resistance than ordinary grille block designs. Proprietary, ergonomically correct handles and angled input panels make the Tour X FM models easy to transport and set up in critical stage monitoring applications.

TX2152
Dual 15-inch Two-way Fullrange
{image 8
The Electro-Voice® TX2152 excels where all other dual, 15-inch loudspeakers fail - transient detail. The secret to the TX2152 is its combination of dual, SMX2150 low-distortion woofers with an integrated analog crossover that uses elliptical filters to achieve 36 dB per octave slopes at the crossover frequency. The result is crossover performance that surpasses many electronic DSP devices and bi-amping.
To keep up with all this output, the TX2152 is the only Tour X model that employs the neodymium ND2 compression driver found in EV's small and medium size line arrays. The TX2152 also benefits from outstanding pattern control of the larger, rotateable, 60 degree x 40 degree horn. Its unique backbone grille not only looks great, but also provides greater strength and damage resistance than simple grille block designs. Proprietary, ergonomically correct handles and angled input panels, and six, .375-inch, threaded suspension inserts make the TX2152 easy to transport and employ in a variety of applications.

Osmond Electronics chosen to supply 90 Robe 575AT series fixtures to the Adelaide Convention Centre
Adelaide Convention Centre invest their future in ROBE
The Adelaide Convention Centre has recently invested in 90 Robe 575AT series fixtures as their light of choice to illuminate its state of the art facility which houses an array of event venues, consisting of 14 Meeting rooms, 11 Hall Venues and 1 Outdoor performance space situated on river frontage.
Located in the CBD of Adelaide, the multi-purpose facilities of the Adelaide Convention Centre accommodates up to 6,500 banquet guests and offers 10,451m2 of pillarless floor space for conferences, exhibitions and banquets. The Centres location ensures ease of access from both North Terrace and the upgraded Torrens precinct. An expansive atrium links the exhibition halls, conference, exhibition and banquet areas, and the pre-function and foyer area of the Centre offers panoramic views over the river, picturesque Adelaide Oval and parklands.
The Adelaide Convention Centre has an international reputation for excellence and is consistently ranked among the top convention centres in the world currently ranking within the top 10 destinations as determined by the AIPC body being the International Association of Congress Centres. This reputation is the result of their superior first-class facilities, technology and service levels, in line with the Adelaide Convention Centres vision of ‘One Team, Leading the World in Business Events’.
With the decision to invest in new professional moving lights, Robe was the preferred option for the Adelaide Convention Centre’s specifications and requirements says Technical Manager Jamie Masefield. Jamie says “Robe first came to our attention with strong industry cred for robust and reliable fixtures. We undertook an extensive procurement process with the Robe 575AT range proving to be the successful candidate from an extensive range of comparative industry product”.
Jamie continues “We had both the business and the logistical requirement to purchase large numbers of both profile and wash based moving head luminaries. Given the international profile, size of the facility and the nature of the events including many of Australia’s premier business events we required luminaries that were a combination of quality build, ease of use, high levels of features, minimal weight loadings, sufficient output and priced so we could meet the projects outcomes within a limited budget. The Robe 575 AT series provided a comprehensive and cost effective solution to all of these requirements.
Part of Jamie’s decision making process was to look at not only the product, but the local product support. Managing Director Cuono Biviano emphasises that local support and strong national dealer networks are a must when considering a large capital purchase. Authorised Robe Dealer George Psorakis and team from Osmond Electronics where chosen to supply 48 Robe ColorWash 575AT and 32 Robe ColorSpot 575AT fixtures to the Adelaide Convention Centre.
The Robe 575 AT series automated fixtures are ideal for theatres, TV studios, medium sized stage applications any application requiring a real "workhorse" 575 lamp. The ColorWash features full CMY, variable CTO, a static colour-wheel with 5 replaceable colours, dimmer/shutter and rotatable beam shaper, which is indexable through 360° with continuous rotation. The standard zoom angle has a range of 12-34°, while the Adelaide Convention Centre opted for the optional wide lense, offering a massive 24 - 60° beam angle.
For installation solutions from big clubs, large venues to concerts and touring applications, the ColorSpot 575 AT includes all the effects imaginable, which was essential to the Adelaide Convention Centre for the size of their facility. The ColorSpot features two separate gobo wheels with the “SLOT & LOCK” system, which has two separate colour wheels (one with the “SLOT & LOCK” system), motorized multi-step zoom with three different apertures of 15, 18 and 22 degrees. A motorized iris, prism, separate and variable frost effect, remote focus is also a feature plus many more. A new optical system and a new dichroic glass reflector increase the light output of the ColorSpot 575 AT.

Jamie concludes to say “Working together with Osmond Electronics and ULA’s Sales Manager Blair Terrace was a very pleasing outcome. The whole process was professional and trouble free. We have had not one fault with any of these units.”
ULA Group prides itself in working together with our dealers assisting with project management and product support nationally and internationally keeping them up to date with the latest technology.

TWO NEW ELECTROVOICE LINE ARRAY SYSTEMS JUST ADDED!

DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND WE HAVE JUST INCREASED OUR INVENTORY OF ELECTROVOICE SPEAKER SYSTEMS
20 CABINETS Electrovoice XLD 281
{The XLD 281 is the core element for constructing X-Line Very Compact systems. The XLD281 is a 3–way design using CCT™ (Coverage Control Technology) to control horizontal coverage to 250Hz.
It uses a 8" neodymium LF transducer, a 8" neodymium LF/MB transducer, and two neodymium 2" voice coil compression drivers combining through 2 hydra plane wave generators into a 120° x 10° waveguide. CCT uses both 8" transducers to provide maximum low frequency output and operating bandwidth while controlling horizontal beam width to 250 Hz by using DSP. The XLD281 can be used in tri-amp mode, or in bi-amp using a sophisticated internal passive network.
Designed for use in arrays of four or more elements the XLD281 delivers full bandwidth audio with precise, predictable coverage control. Integrated rigging with hinge points located correctly between array elements is simple to use and quickly provides uncompromised line array performance. Ground stacking is easily done using array rails or subwoofers as the array base

18 CABINETS Electrovoice XLC 127 DVX
The Xlc DVX loudspeaker is a component used in multiples to create a XLC line array. 
Starting with a minimum of four cabinets, a reasonable array size uses six to eight boxes, up to a maximum of 16 for larger arenas. The three-way axis-asymmetric design includes a single EV DL-12 low-frequency/mid-bass woofer optimized for this cabinet. Two 6.5” horn-loaded drivers in a vertical array comprise the mid-frequency bandpass.
The XLC127 DVX utilizes two ND6 (3” voice-coil) neodymium compression drivers loaded on two Hydra™ plane wave generators. With a horizontal coverage of 120°, the XLC system accurately covers wide areas while maintaining excellent imaging and lobe-free coverage. The XLC127 DVX is equipped with an internal x-over for mid-bass and high-frequency to allow for either biamp or triamp operation.
The Xlci version is designed for permanent installation applications with specially designed mounting hardware for easy cost effective hanging.
4 SUB CABINETS Electrovoice QRX 218S
Dual 18-inch sub with 1,200 watt continuous, 4,800 watts peak power handling.Easily delivers 133 dB SPL 1 w/1 m (139 dB peaks 1 w/1 m) at full power Two concert-proven EVX180B woofers with 4-inch voice coils have incredible fatigue resistance and excellent long-term reliability.

Electrovoice Phoenix PX 2152
Powerful - The PX2152 shines in medium throw applications
The PX2152 shines in medium throw applications that require the low-frequency reproduction of 15-inch woofers. Accurately summed dual ND2 compression drivers in a manifold configuration allow for increased power handling, mid and high-frequency headroom, and low distortion. Selectable bi-amp or passive operation makes the PX2152 work extremely well in conjunction with Phoenix subwoofers or as a single box system for live and club sound.
The wider 60° x 45° coverage pattern of the low distortion rotate-able horn gives the PX2152 added flexibility in system design. With an integral 15° per side trapezoidal angle, two PX2152 can be arrayed for a larger system; simply use one cabinet for a smaller system. In an effort to simplify setup, PX2152 cabinets can be securely splayed within the safety grooves routed into the PX2181 subwoofer, reducing the need for straps and eliminating speaker cluster guesswork.
Dual high-efficiency, forced-air cooled DVX3150 15-inch woofers compliment the high performance manifold section of the PX2152. With an overall broadband sensitivity of 99dB and the ability to run full range passive or bi-amp, the PX2152 is an outstanding solution for a wide variety of applications.The PX2152 employs rugged EVCOAT® covering and 18-mm, 13-ply plywood with complex tongue and groove construction for long-term strength and consistency. Handles on the top, bottom and both sides make transport easy, while eight M10 points provide flexibility in situations where hanging is either necessary or optimal.

Osmond's invest in Pro Shop LED gear and ArKaos
LARGEST INVENTORY IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA!

Osmond Electronics has been bringing the groove to Adelaide with their Pro Shop LED Video Panels, ArKaos Media Server and Honeycomb 36 LED fixtures. Osmond’s purchased thirty two of the Pro Shop modular LED Video Panels and they were so impressed by their brightness and power, they promptly ordered sixteen more!
“We try to keep ahead of the game here in Adelaide and no one else has anything like this,” commented Justin Accatino, Osmond’s Lighting Hire Manager. “I really like the fact that they are modular with each panel measuring 50 x 50 cm as it allows us to configure the screens in a variety of ways; instead of one big video screen we can place them on columns, rows, facades etc. They offer great versatility.”
Justin is also happy with the brightness of the Pro Shop LED Video Panels having used them in Adelaide nightclubs and he remarked that they are ideal for temporary use in live productions due to the ease of setup and pack down.
For media Justin has been using the ArKaos media server either through a MA Lighting grandMA or simply via a computer. Purchased at the same time as the initial Pro Shop LED Video Panels, the ArKaos completes Osmond’s versatile media package.
“I’d used ArKaos before and really liked it,” said Justin. “It’s really easy to use and a lot of people are now using it. “The LED Screens are operated via a PCI card that is installed into our media server, this means that we have an all in one system; a simple DVI loop out of our computer video card into this PCI card and in turn connection to the LED Screen Control Box…simple, and no need for another computer. I spend a lot of time searching for new media and making my own images.”
Each LED Video Panel is 50 x 50cm and contains 256 pixels in a 16 x 16 matrix. The modules are suitable for the display of real time video, images and text. They are also IP65 rated for outdoor use.
Osmond’s also own thirty of the Pro Shop Honeycomb 36 fixtures which are constantly is use and are popular with local AV companies who love to sub hire them.
“They’re quick and easy to set up, don’t use much power and run cool,” said Justin. “Using them is certainly preferable to setting up a whole heap of par cans. They’re great.”
Another significant purchase for Osmond’s was a JEM Glaciator X-Stream, the mother of all fog effects. The Glaciator can create a total, powerful, ground fog effect for Osmond’s larger productions such as the Police Tattoo and the Clipsal 500.
