The High End

The Technobeam automated luminaire is now available with an iris. According to the company, the luminaire's chassis was remodeled so the iris could be added as an option. From now on, all models in production at High End will be the Technobeam-i. Both Technobeam products are the same size, use the same stock patterns and are compatible. The Technobeam-I does run on new software. The software is available for the Status Cue console, Whole Hog and the Technobeam LCD controller. To distinguish between the two models, the sidelogo label colors were inverted. The previous Technobeam model had the Techno-beam name in black print on a silver background. The Techno-beam-I has the name printed in silver on a solid black background.

Portable Speakers from JBL



The new SR-X Series of live sound reinforcement loudspeakers from JBL Professional uses the same technology found in the company's high-end tour sound systems in a portable package for clubs and other mobile applications. The SR-X is available in 11 different configurations. The series' Vented Gap Cooling low frequency transducers control heat buildup to increase power handling and decrease power compression. Pure titanium diaphragm compression drivers are mounted to Optimized Aperture horns, while newly designed crossover networks improve sound quality, according to the company. For applications requiring suspension of the speaker systems, all SR-X models (except subwoofer and stage monitor models) are available as SR-X/F versions with four "L-track" flying points that accommodate "fly clip" fittings for portable use and forged 10mm eyebolts for fixed installations.

ADJ's Orbiting Trio



The Force is with this new line of space-like effects from American DJ. The Space Balls, Mini-Saucer and Multi-Star are centerpieces so small that they can be set up on top of a mobile DJ's speakers, while filling an entire club with shooting stars, meteors and other "outer space" effects. The Space Balls unit projects dozens of moving white pin beams, creating an effect of shooting stars. The Mini-Saucer adds multi-hued beams of light that spin and tumble. A revolving, satellite-shaped dish with 28 multi-colored lenses creates the effect. The Multi-Star is a cluster of five rotating balls, each producing a different color of light. Together, the balls project 75 rotating and criss-crossing lightbeams, all at one time.

Community's Low Frequency Horn

Community Professional Loudspeakers has introduced the R6 low frequency horn system. Designed to complement horn-loaded mid/high systems that normally require multiple direct radiator LF systems, Community says the R6 complements systems such as the M4 midrange driver and the R2 Series of full-range systems. At 250 Hz, the R6's dispersion pattern is 110 degrees horizontal by 80 degrees vertical. Six Ferrofluid-cooled 15-inch LF driver coupled to a single horn give the speaker a 43-Hz flare rate and an operating range from 45 Hz to 300 Hz, with a 1 watt/1 meter sensitivity of 107 dB SPL.
