The Alcons Audio TS Series of loudspeakers currently consists of two models - TS 3 and TS 7. The TS 3 includes one 6.5-inch mid-bass driver with 1-inch soft-dome tweeter on an optimized waveguide. Peak power handling is rated at 400 watts with efficiency listed as 89 dB (1 watt/1 meter). Frequency response is 66 Hz to 20 kHz. The TS 7 offers dual 6.5-inch mid-bass drivers with the same 1-inch tweeter found in the TS 3. Peak power handling is stated as 800 watts, and efficiency is listed at 92 dB (1W/1m).

Frequency response is also 66 Hz to 20 kHz. In both models, speaker components are matched by a crossover network, and both also include double Speakon connectors, custom perforated steel grill and a number of mounting nuts (M6 and M8) on the rear, upper and under side.

The Primera Technology Bravo Disc Publisher is an automated CD duplicating and printing system. It is designed for hands-free, automated production of up to 25 CDs or DVDs at one time. A robotic mechanism is used to transport discs into the built-in 52x CD-R recorder or optional Pioneer combo DVD-R/CD-R recorder.

After recording, discs are transported to the integrated printer and printed in full color at up to 2400 dpi resolution. Bravo attaches to any PC running Windows 2000/XP through its built-in FireWire (IEEE 1394) and USB interfaces. (It also attaches to any Mac running Apple OS X.) It comes with PrimoDVD 2.0 duplication software by Sonic, which has partnered with Primera.

The Behringer ULTRA-DI PRO DI800 is an 8-channel Direct Injection box that converts unbalanced line inputs into balanced inputs.

The Celestion CDX1-1415 and CDX1-1425 are 1-inch compression drivers with neodymium magnet structures that are intended to extend performance and lessen weight.

The CDX1-1415 offers a power rating of 20 watts, a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, sensitivity of 104 dB, nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and weight of 8.81 ounces.

The CDX1-1425 power rating is 25 watts, with frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, sensitivity of 108 dB, nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and weight of 13.76 ounces.

The Community SH462 horn system is primarily designed for voice alert systems, large public gatherings, industrial paging and other applications requiring focused, stand-alone voice-range sound reinforcement. It includes four ferrofluid-cooled M200A 2-inch-exit compression drivers mounted within a handcrafted, one-piece 60-degree by 20-degree Focused Array waveguide horn.

The laminated horn section is designed with layering and integral throat and driver flange construction.

The design prevents unwanted energy loss while also providing weather-resistant qualities. Within each compression driver, a front-facing diaphragm has been conjoined with the suspension, forming a one-piece unit providing isolation from the elements while also protecting against dust, humidity and corrosive conditions.

Lowell SCS-4R and SCS-8R rack-mount sequencers provide time-delayed on/off control of components linked to the company’s RPC remote power controls.

Each occupying 1U, the SCS-4R is equipped with four outputs, while the SCS-8R comes with eight.

The VS-726 and VS-736S make up the G-Audio V-Smart Rectilinear Array 700 Series, a line of line array loudspeakers.

The VS-726 includes two 12-inch mid-bass woofers tuned to 55 Hz as well as two 1-inch neodymium drivers with polyester diaphragm mounted on a dual-exit 90-degree by 10-degree horn.

The VS726 can be used as a stand-alone or combined with the matching VS-736 subwoofer, which includes dual 18-inch woofers. Low-frequency extension of the unit goes down to 32 Hz.

The Shure Microflex MX692/C is a wireless, frequency-agile boundary microphone with more than 100 selectable channels via an integrated UC wireless transmitter with 50 mW of output power. It is outfitted with a touch-sensitive logic switch that can be programmed for push-to-talk, push-to-mute, or toggle operation and also includes on/off switch, active status indicator, battery fuel gauge, and a protective grille shielding its cardioid cartridge. (The capsule can also be interchanged with Microflex supercardioid or omnidirectional cartridges.) Frequency response of 50 Hz to 17 kHz. Operable within two available frequency bands (UA and UB), the MX692 can be simultaneously utilized within a combined total of 32 systems.

The half-rack space UC4 receiver (available separately), has built-in, adjustable EQ and extensive LED metering. The MX692/C also can be used with other Shure UC, UP, and UHF transmitters.

The Great River Electronics EQ-2NV equalizer is loosely based on the topology of vintage 1081/1083 models and offers newly designed class A, discrete single-ended amplifiers.

The Mach SP12 is a low-profile stage monitor offering a narrow dispersion pattern and a flat frequency response. It is equipped with dual 12-inch woofers and a 2-inch-exit compression driver. Total output is rated as greater than 138 dB.

Power handling is specified as 700 watts at 4 ohms, with sensitivity stated as 100 dB (1 watt/1 meter). The symmetrically designed cabinet is coated with Mach SafeCoat, a scratch resistant, UV stable and weatherproof polyurethane surface.

Inter-M L Series power amplifiers occupy 2U and include clip limiting circuitry and several front panel indicators monitoring output levels, power on/off, clipping, stereo, parallel, or bridged mono modes, and activation of protective circuits. On the rear panel, both binding posts and Speakon type connectors are provided at the outputs.

The Turbosound TSD-110 compact sub-bass enclosure is intended for use in a variety of installed sound applications. It includes a dual voice coil, 10-inch low-frequency driver housed in a birch plywood enclosure consisting of two dissimilar compartments, optimally ported.

The dual-channel driver offers two independent voice coils within the same drive unit, allowing a single TSD-110 to be configured as part of a two-channel system with up to four satellite units per channel.
