VMB to Debut New Products at PLASA
Spanish manufacturers VMB Espanola SA will be launching a new, compact line array flying system at PLASA this month. The TL-A220 will lift 220kg to a height of 5.5m, with the centre of gravity 500mm out along the forks, giving plenty of room to curve the array.
With a self-weight of only 95kg and only 1.7m tall, this unit will be easy to store and transport making it invaluable for smaller PA companies and touring productions. Fitted with VMBs' patented ALS auto-locking system, the lift, along with all of the VMB lifting products, is designed and built to VGB-C1 standard.
Also being launched is the Rainbow software package, an acoustical prediction tool. Based on polar response measurements of each cabinet (Line Array and conventional installation models), taken meticulously at 5º intervals and with 360º cabinet coverage both vertically and horizontally the Rainbow software is able to calculate the SPL response of one or more cabinets including the interaction between them, taking in to account the magnitude and phase response of each one, enabling the user to correct or even create cancellation if the design so requires.
As customary with VMB software, with an intuitive, user friendly, multi-tool interface and online updatable data base, Rainbow's aim is to help installers/users and it is even able to import WMF Vector files with technical drawings directly in to the prediction plan thus enabling real measurement predictions. This also helps determine dead zones and obtain the maximum performance from each of the cabinets installed.
These products, along with a selection of VGB-C1 rated wind-up stands from the VMB range will be on display on the MilTec (UK) stand (F7).
