Starting in Brisbane on Tuesday 20 February and concluding in Perth on Wednesday 7 March, CMI Audio are coming to you as part of the annual and epic ENTECH Roadshow. They’ve packed their finest gear and smartest tech-heads to answer all your questions between 11 AM and 6 PM on each show day. You’ll also be able to hear the JBL Eon One and the Fohhn Linea series DLI-230 Column array and X Series XS-22 Sub duke it out with other major brands in the PA demos at 1 PM and 3 PM respectively. Here’s the rundown of the other drool-worthy goodies you will see and check out:
Mixers
Looking to get into tablet mixing? The Soundcraft UI16 and Soundcraft Ui24R both feature Studer preamps, processing from from dbx, DigiTech and Lexicon, RTAs on ins and outs, and can be controlled by up to 10 devices via Ethernet or built-in dual-band Wi-Fi on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, or Linux!
Loudspeakers
The JBL PRX812W is a 1500W, powered two-way 12” that’s part of the new Harman Connected PA environment. Products in the Connected PA system self-identify and retain presets, with setup wizards helping you optimise speaker levels, configuration settings and EQ. Other Connected PA products include the Soundcraft Ui24R mixer, dbx Di1 direct boxes, and AKG P5i microphones, which will also be on the stand!
Got an install that needs ultra-compact speakers? Only want to run one Cat5 cable to get them all connected? Check out Fohhn’s Airea Series LX-10 ASX, the powered 130 x 130 x 120 mm wonder that takes can take daisy-chained Dante audio and control via Cat5!
Want the very best for your venue? The installation version of Adamson’s world-renowned line arrays, the IS7, will be present in all its Kevlar-drivered glory for your inspection.
Microphones
If you’re considering going down the digital wireless mic path, the AKG DMS800 digital wireless system3 gives you HiQnet network remote control and monitoring, digital wireless audio transmission, 150 MHz ultrawide frequency range and 512-bit encryption, plus Dante and AES/EBU output.
Power Amplifiers
If you want grunt, processing and HiQnet System Architect control, the Crown XTI6002 is your beast, outputting 2x 1200W at 4 ohms.
Alternatively, MC2 Audio’s Delta series offer you models with or without DSP, and include Dante connectivity. Control is on XTA’s AudioCore platform and runs via the DeltaDirect iPad app.
Processors
Take control of your PA with the dbx DriveRack PA2. It runs dbx’s new proprietary AutoEQ and AFS algorithms, a new input delay module, and listening through an analysis mic, the AutoEQ algorithm sets speaker levels and room EQ automatically. Control is via Ethernet on Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows.
Love the sound of a rack mounted ‘verb and FX processor but don’t want to give up the convenience and automation of a plug-in? The four in, four out Lexicon MX400XL lets you have both – connect a USB cable and use your AU format compatible DAW to control all automation and recall parameters exactly as you would with any software plug-in.
Recorders
Need a reliable recording system that isn’t a computer? The Tascam DA-6400 is a 64-track recorder with an internal SSD drive. It’s got I/O options including MADI and Dante, and is available with dual/redundant power supply for ultimate peace of mind. If it’s just stereo you need to archive, the Tascam SS-CDR250 records to SD card, can be automated, and automatically upload recordings to an FTP server.
