Renkus-HeinzIC Squared Digitally Steerable Line Array
The new IC Squared from Renkus Heinz is a digitally steerable line array that combines the power and focus of point-source loudspeaker technology with the control and flexibility of a digitally steered array --- a first for the industry according to the company. Four eight-inch low frequency Neodymium transducers and one-inch Titanium Nitride-coated HF drivers offer high-SPL point-source performance, while individual steering control of each driver are designed to give the IC2 excellent vertical pattern control for maximum intelligibility, even in the most reverberant spaces. www.renkus-heinz.com
Harman ProStuder Vista 9 Digital Console
Building on Studer’s Vista 5, 6, 7 and 8 desks, the Vista 9 supplements the company’s Vistonics interface with an innovative wide screen-based TFT metering called FaderGlow. The new metering gives precision feedback on signal status and shows mono through 7.1 channel signals. A unique History Mode records events such as overloads in the audio path of each channel, and highlights them on the channel waveform. The operator can review which channel had such an event up to 30 seconds afterward. Furthermore, all stereo inputs and stereo masters have a correlation meter bar above the bargraph display. www.harman.com
