Speaking of Speakers

Three years ago at London's PLASA show, Midas introduced the PRO6. Last year, they brought the PRO3 and PRO9, with full compatibility and an upgrade path. At that time, Midas also released the fixed-format DL251 stage-box, the heart of the PRO3, offering the functionality of a Heritage 3000 at a cost-effective price point. This year, Midas introduces the PRO2 and its more-compact cousin, the PRO2C, bringing near-PRO3 functionality down-market, using the same 100-meter 48 x 16 AES50 digital snake.

Lake's new LM 44 Digital Audio Loudspeaker Processor is being introduced at London's PLASA show this month. Identical in many respects to the Lake LM 26, the LM 44 is distinguished primarily by a different input/output configuration.

Lab.gruppen made its mark on the world of amplifiers with clean and highly efficient Class TD designs combining Class D efficiency with Class B sonic purity and driven by an optimized Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS). Five years ago, Lab.gruppen introduced the C Series of 4- and 8-channel lo-Z and hi-Z installation amplifiers ranging from 125W to 2200W per channel.
