Following in the footsteps of the popular DX5 loudspeaker that has found favour with a number of major rental companies for its superior sonic performance and versatility as both a stage monitor and FoH speaker, the new MX0 offers the same performance in a format specifically designed for the installation market.
First presented at the JTSE 2013 in Paris last November alongside the DX5, the MX0 seems destined for similar success in its market.

Dave 'Lofty' Lockhart, owner of Codex Audio, is system technician, tour manager and head sound engineer (amongst others!) for 'The Blockheads' with whom he is deploying the Optima 5 line array.
Inspired Audio design director, Chris Scott, comments, "That Lofty has invested in the system is great news on a number of fronts; firstly he values the scalability of the system in a way that we had hoped the market would and, secondly, having a seasoned engineer of his calibre using the system will give us invaluable feedback at the factory.
"Lofty carefully chooses every detail and element of the signal chain, so, choosing Inspired Audio for a crucial part of that chain is a big step forwar
The synergy between the two companies will result in an increased footprint for the Stage Audio Works Group, who are already well established in the commercial, entertainment technology and house of worship sectors. It will also allow Stage Audio Works to offer their diverse product range and technical expertise to a much wider market through Active Music's established MI distribution channel.

At the heart of the mixer is the analogue Voltage Control Filter (VCF) system offering Low-Pass and High-Pass filters, frequency sweep and 'mild to wild' resonance control. There is also an FX loop to connect to third party FX units, which route back in through the filter system.
The two stereo channels feature independent level controls for each input enabling up to four stereo sources to be simultaneously routed to the mix, as well as the dedicated send and return
"We have an expanding congregation and a venue that can accommodate two thousand, two hundred across the stalls and two balconies," explained production director, Dan Cornwell. "To deliver a clear, accurate spoken word was a priority; the utmost intelligibility is a necessity. The dynamic nature of our services has a major musical component, this demands high SPLs and because of our expanding numbers we stage multiple services, so the system needs to be able to cope with regular
"I've been using DPA Microphones for many years and bought my first stereo d:dicate 4006 recording microphone when it was still known by the old Bruel & Kjaer name," says Taglia. "I first became familiar with the DPA brand when I was using the company's miniature microphones on singers in musical productions. I eventually began using them on instruments as well, which gave me great results. I'm now a huge fan and have bought quite a few for my own microphone collection, including the
Speakers from the cream of the UK-based post-production industry have now been finalised. Dennis Weinreich and Conor Mackey will be opening the weekend with a look at workstation-based post-production workflows.

Janet Dean explains: "Back in 2009 we had identified the potential for an internet protocol (IP) product range to service a new and expanding market place within the Audio industry. During our investigation of IP-based technology we had many starts and stops, but eventually we identified a UK manufacturer who met the high specification and product portfolio we had been looking for and were interested to explore the possibility of a mutual business opportunity between us."
The partnership began in 2013 and has allowed i-Power (UK) Lt

Several attempts were made to improve the system's performance, but these tries amounted to little more than "band-aids" according to Mark Carey, president/owner of Spencer, Iowa-based Carey's Electronics. Eventually, a consensus was reached among the church's leadership and members that a permanent solution was in order, and Carey and his team were selected to spec different options for the system, all of which revolved around products from Bose Professional Systems. Carey and the church eventually dec
The Eternity Playhouse is the result of a four-year renovation of the heritage-listed Burton Street Tabernacle by the City of Sydney, a 126 year old Baptist Church, unused for worship since 1996. In consultation with the City of Sydney and architects Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, Darlinghurst Theatre Company has helped transform the building into a unique, state-of-the-art performance space that lovingly emphasises the building's original features while delivering high-quality technical results.
The Eternity Theatre is named for
The equipment used features the 8", 10" and 12" inch tops and single 15" and double 15" subs. They also used MilTec's LA20 amps on one of the jobs. The Henley venue required a white finish which MilTec supplied from stock.
Colin Bannister, general manager of Leamington Sight and Sound commented, "I use the MilTec speakers because of the high quality sound at a very reasonable price. We get a very good frequency response with a nice warm British sound that needs very little EQ. I am specifying the Miltec speakers on many more jobs that we have lined up for 2014.
As well as being designed in sleek, modern colours, the club boasts an impressive Funktion One sound system along with large-scale lights and lasers, CO2 cannons, gigantic party poppers and exciting extra sensory stimulation in the form of the venue's unique Geodome - a 'cage' of thousands of LEDS that fills the venue's second room.
Club owner, Jim comments: "The Geodome idea was born about five years ago after a trip to the Eden Project in Cornwall. The sheer scale of the building structure was incredible and I simply had t
