New Gear

HK Audio has introduced a brand new series of high-performance active speakers – LINEAR 3 – and has added two new active models to the LINEAR SUB family of subwoofers.

Bose Professional is introducing the new MB210 compact subwoofer, designed for background/foreground music and small sound-reinforcement systems that require low-frequency extension down to 37 Hz. The MB210 subwoofer features two 10-inch high-excursion woofers, derived from the award-winning Bose Professional F1 portable powered subwoofer, in a compact Baltic-birch plywood enclosure optimized for fixed-installations. Featuring outstanding performance-to-size ratio, the MB210 is designed to complement Bose Professional FreeSpace®, Panaray®, and RoomMatch® Utility loudspeaker models with additional bass impact.

The self-powered Panaray MSA12X features a slim, unobtrusive acoustic design with 12 full-range 2.25″ transducers (with 75 Hz to 14 kHz response) in a columnar line array configuration, to provide consistent levels with vocal intelligibility and full-range music reinforcement in acoustically challenging spaces. Its 12 internal power amps (50 watts/channel; total 600 watts) and onboard DSP to allow digital control and beam steering of array vertical coverage patterns. Proprietary Articulated Array configuration allows wide, 160-degree horizontal coverage. Independent level and EQ control is supported for two separate beams per array, and onboard memory stores up to 10 user-selectable presets. Inputs are both Dante and line-level analog input.

QSC introduced Version 3.0 for its TouchMix-8 and -16 Series and Version 1.2 for TouchMix-30 Pro. The updated firmware provides capabilities for users of small format mixing consoles.

Since its original release, the Mirizio Microphone mount, designed to simplify microphone mounting in grand pianos with the lid closed, has been updated with a few changes. The company announced that, with the V3 version, all parts that touch the instrument are coated with felt, “because rental houses often frown on clamps or tape that can mar the harp of the piano,” according to the company. In addition, all aluminum parts are anodized black and etched with the name and logo for a timeless finish. The plate screws are shorter so they don’t protrude, and the company also offers a new storage case option.

QSC released its CXD-Q and CXD-Qn eight-channel network processing amplifiers designed for integration with the Q-SYS Platform.

Waves Audio announced pre-orders for the IconPlatform M and X controllers, as well as for the Icon Platform D2 display unit are now open.
