Alcons at Frankfurt ProLight & Sound 2008
Alcons Audio can look back on the most successful PL&S show in their existence, while celebrating their fifth anniversary. Main eye catcher on the stand was the “R-Ray” design study - becoming an annual “stand feature”, Alcons shares a glimpse of R&D projects, by displaying assembled prototype products of which part developments may be applied in future products. R-Ray showed the study on achieving maximum projection control through a modular point-source cluster, utilizing (pro-ribbon) line-source technology.
The viewing of the LR7, latest and smallest member of Alcons’ successful pro-ribbon line-arrays, also attracted a lot of attention. Typed as “micro pro-ribbon line-array”, the system features a single 6.5” woofer, next to a 4” pro-ribbon driver, in a 15-degree vertical projection configuration. A choice of (Real!) 90-degree or 120-degree horizontal projection, makes the LR7 ideal for A/V projects, where very compact form factor with perfect line-array throw and imaging are required.
Other developments displayed on the stand were: the QR6 line-source column under-fill extension; the updated BF302 subwoofer; and the V1.5 firmware version of Alcons proprietary Digital Drive Processor; a.o.
Alcons Tom Back commented: “Our fifth anniversary was the best show so far. Looking at the number of stand visitors, the number of new contacts, and the “buzz” that’s going through the market, we could also measure Alcons’ success by looking at the number of copies we saw.
“The annual Pro-Ribbon Partner dinner on Thursday night really showed the bond between Alcons “ambassadors” (rental-users, dealers, distributors) from countries from all over the globe. It’s this team spirit that is key to our motivation to continue improving our performance in any possible way.”
