Shuttlesound Presents New Electro-Voice Products at PLASA
On the Shuttlesound stand this year, three exciting new product lines from Electro-Voice combine technical innovation, aesthetic form and real advances in functionality. PLASA is the UK launch platform for: the Tour X loudspeaker series, the PL Series of microphones, and the DC One processor control for EV line array.
Tour X boasts a host of unique, revolutionary features that add up to make it the most exciting loudspeaker line available today - a new chapter in EV's 80-year history of sonic excellence. From the TX1122 (12" two-way), TX1152 (15" two-way), TX1181 (18" sub), TX2152 (dual 15" two-way), TX2181 (dual 18" sub), to the TX1122FM (12" dedicated monitor) and TX1152FM (15" dedicated monitor), each model in the Tour X line seamlessly balances aesthetic form and road-ready functionality. A host of innovative features and patent-pending designs make Tour X the most exciting loudspeaker series available today.
The new 2008 PL line represents EV's commitment to bringing a comprehensive family of vocal and instrument microphone products to the professional live sound community. Featuring seven vocal models and three instrument models, the new PL series has exceptional durability, sonic performance, and contemporary styling. All PL Series models feature a unique non-reflective textured satin finish, high-quality fine mesh Memraflex grills, shock-mounted capsules for extraordinarily-low handling noise, and polar patterns strategically chosen to deliver superb sonic performance with minimal off-axis complications.
While the unit is an all-new development based on a powerful SHARC processor, it is 100% compatible with all settings from other Electro-Voice signal processors, including the Dx38-the best choice for achieving maximum performance with an EV loudspeaker system.
A large part of DC-One's development was aimed towards ensuring users can easily and fully utilize its serious digital horsepower and high-end audio performance. Though free PC-Editor software is available, the DC-One can easily be operated via the front panel. Direct access buttons, six predefined configuration modes (one being free configuration), straightforward output delay settings, and true professional metering all allow for safe operation.
DC-One's unique "front-panel-access-control" allows the user to select a personal library of accessible presets (out of 60 factory and 20 user presets). In addition, the user can determine which individual parameters in each preset are locked (e.g. factory predefined output parameters) or editable (e.g. master EQ or delay settings).
The DC-One has a 1U 19-inch chassis that is deep enough to match typical amplifier depths, a front panel USB connector for the PC-Editor, and accepts either analogue or digital (AES-EBU) input signals; a 6-dB input pad is available. The RS232 on the rear also provides eight contact closures for preset changes, or allows two units to be linked for larger systems. The PC-Editor software, as well as firmware updates allowing additional functions, will be available on www.electrovoice.com.
In picture: users of small- to medium-sized sound systems, both mobile and installed, will be interested in the new DC-One two-in-six-out processor. Designed for professional live sound applications, the new PL Series is poised to become the new standard in price-to-performance microphones.
