Germany - ProLight&Sound 2003: New from LA Audio were the C400 4-channel auto compressor, and MS1224 12-channel active mic splitter. The C400 features four identical channels of compression that can be operated independently or as two stereo pairs. Each channel has fully variable Threshold, Ratio, Release and Gain with switchable Automatic Attack modes (fully automatic Attack and Release or Automatic Attack and Manual Release).

The MS1224 replaces the previous MS824 model, and has 12 channels of 1 into 4 splitting into a compact 3U case. An additional link through connector is provided on each channel, and each of the four transformer balanced feeds has an individual Ground Lift switch provided on the 1U PSU. Individual channel monitoring is provided via a headphone socket and LED meter on the PSU. A single PSU is sufficient to power 48 channels. A unique feature of the MS1224 is the flexibility of its i/o configuration.

Also new from LA, the 'Digi-Box' range includes versatile digital toolboxes, housed in the same extruded aluminium case as the familiar LA Audio DI box. The range will include an AES Channel Divider, AES/SPDIF Converter, AES three-way Splitter, SPDIF four-way Splitter, Word Clock/Super Clock Generator, Word Clock/Super Clock Converter, and four-way Word Clock Distributor.
