Furman SRM-80A Signal Router/Monitor
|
|
|
The Furman Sound SRM-80A signal router/monitor is intended to simplify mixdown and dubbing from the single stereo output of digital audio workstations, associated computer sound cards and digital I/Os. |

It has balanced inputs and outputs for SOURCE and A INPUTS, and for the inputs to the power amplifier. INPUTS B through D utilize RCA jacks. The SRM-80A allows signal routing between these dissimilar jacks and also converts between professional products’ +4 dB levels and consumer products’ -10 dB levels as needed. A high-resolution 40 LED by 2 bar graph meter is provided to monitor the signal selected for listening.
JBL SoundFactor Install (SFi) Loudspeakers
|
|
|
The JBL Professional SoundFactor Install (SFi) loudspeaker line includes the SF12Mi and the SF15i, both intended primarily for fixed installation purposes. They include three M 10, tthreaded suspension points as well as three forged, shouldered eyebolts. Two suspension points are positioned on top. The SF15i has a pullback point on the lower rear panel, while the shape of the SF12Mi dictates that the pullback point be moved to the bottom panel. Cabinet handles, pole-mount socket and feet have been removed to provide a clean, uncluttered appearance. |
PreSonus Headphone Amp/Speaker Controller

Sennheiser Evolution 800 Series Microphones
|
|
|
Sennheiser Evolution 800 Series vocal microphones include the E 815S, E 816S and the E 817S. Each of the new microphones are packaged with either an XLR-XLR cable, an XLR-1/4-inch or a mic clip. The cardioid polar pattern capsules on all three microphones is designed to reject rear sounds. Housed in metal bodies that provide suppression of handling noise, the mics are also designed to offer stringent feedback rejection. The E 815S features a silent lockable on/off switch and is intended for speech, vocal or instrument applications. The E 816S, also equipped with an on/off switch, delivers a high output enabling it to cut through the mix when stage volume levels are excessive. The E 817S is particularly intended suitable for lead vocalists due to its wide frequency response. |
