AMSTERDAM – At Integrated Systems Europe 2020 (Feb. 11-14, 2020) at the RAI Convention Center in Amsterdam, the Adam Hall Group will be presenting a range of audio and lighting solutions for professional use in AV fixed installations at its stand (#7-W200). Besides the expansion of the Cameo OPUS series and the new F4 LED Fresnel spotlights for theatre and TV environments, the installation amplifiers of the IPA and IMA series as well as the first MAUI system for installation use from LD Systems are ready to impress the audience.
LD Systems IPA Series: Installation Power Amplifiers with DSP & Dante
With the IPA series, LD Systems expands its growing installation portfolio with DSP-based 4-channel installation power amplifiers. The IPA412T (120W) and IPA424T (240W) feature integrated transformers per channel and provide 100V/70V tap and low-Z output down to 4 ohms. Each model includes a slot for an expansion card, which can be used to control the IPA amplifiers, including all DSP parameters, via Ethernet and to integrate them into larger installation networks thanks to Dante AoIP connectivity. In the basic version, the IPA amplifiers work as a standard installation amplifier with 100/70V tap and independent low-Z output for excellent sound quality. The DSP section includes PEQ (with matched speaker library), dynamics, matrix mixer, priority source selector and delay. Via a REMOTE bus based on CAN architecture (Controller Area Network), the IPA series will be also capable of interacting with the future remote units and paging microphones from LD Systems.
LD Systems IMA Series: Installation Mixing Amplifiers with 70/100V Output Transformers
The IMA30 is the first member of LD Systems’ new IMA series of installation mixing amplifiers for use in fixed installations. With its versatile input and output options and multi-stage priority switching, the IMA30 enables flexible integration in commercial and industrial applications. On a compact 9.5″ chassis and 2RU, the IMA30 offers two mic/line inputs with +24VDC phantom selector, two stereo line inputs plus an integrated Bluetooth wireless signal input for connecting music sources, and a priority input for emergency paging. Outputs include a powered 30W @ 4 Ohms output plus a 70/100V tap as well as bass and treble tone controls. A Low-Z/High-Z selector separates the output signal completely from the output transformer, in order to get the best frequency response for low impedance applications. The IMA30 can also be used in conjunction with external amplifiers, subwoofers or music-on-hold systems via the separate aux line output. The music mix selector can be used to determine whether the entire mix or only the selected music source is channeled to the output.
The IMA30 offers four priority levels for emergency calls, mic/line inputs and connected music sources, as well as a selectable automatic standby mode for Energy Star certification. In order to enable not only integrators and installation service providers but also end users to easily operate the IMA series in daily practice, LD Systems put great emphasis on a user-friendly front and rear panel design.
LD Systems DQOR Outdoor Speaker Series
LD Systems presents its series of installation loudspeakers for outdoor and indoor use. The 2-way systems come in the new dynamic LD Systems design and are available as low-impedance version (8 Ohm) and high-impedance version (16 Ohm) with tap switch for variable power output in 70/100V applications. The sizes available are 3”, 5.25” and 8”. For flexible integration into a wide array of indoor and outdoor environments, the speakers feature an integrated wall mount plus a convenient slide-and-lock mechanism. Thanks to the integrated connection panel, the loudspeakers can also be used in optically demanding environments without visible cable paths. Furthermore the 27° tilt and 45° pan mechanism allows exact positioning for precise sound coverage. The new Outdoor Speaker Series is available in black and white.
LD Systems MAUI i1: MAUI Goes Installation
With the MAUI i1, the award-winning MAUI series of active column speaker systems from LD Systems takes the next evolutionary step. For use in fixed installations, the Surface-Mount Column Loudspeaker has been reworked and tailored to the special needs of planners, integrators and end users. The MAUI i1 is a column speaker with 9 x 3” full-range woofers and 2 x 1” neodymium high frequency drivers with integrated 2-way crossover and 120W RMS power @ 8 Ohms. The BEM-optimized high-frequency waveguide, which allows precise adjustment of the vertical dispersion, ensures homogeneous dispersion in acoustically challenging environments. For seamless integration into constant-voltage loudspeaker systems, the MAUI i1 has an input mode switch with 8 Ohms/70/100V options and a power tap selector for high impedance use with 60 – 30 – 15 – 7.5W taps. A dedicated U-bracket for flexible wall/ceiling mounting is included. The MAUI i1 is available in black and white.
LD Systems ZONE X1208
LD Systems presents the ZONE X1208 19-inch DSP matrix processor with a wide range of remote control options. Thanks to its hybrid architecture DSP with 40-bit floating point DSP engine the ZONE X1208 allows professional users to load DSP templates to adapt to different installation requirements. In combination with the built-in Event Scheduler, users can create calendar-specific workflow controls and perform automated preset changes. Furthermore it features a REMOTE bus for integration with future LD Systems control panels and Paging microphones. For superior signal flexibility the ZONE X1208 provides 12 balanced mic/line inputs with premium grade microphone preamps and 48 V phantom power selection per input, 8 balanced line outputs, 8 GPI, and 8 GPO logic ports.
At only 1 RU the ZONE X1208 features a clean and intuitive front panel design and is based on the latest generation Linux operating system, enabling remote control via the Xilica Designer universal control software using the integrated Ethernet interface. In addition, dedicated remote control apps for iOS and Android are available to customize the ZONE X1208 user interface to meet individual project needs. In addition to the ZONE X1208, the Matrix processor will also be available as ZONE X1208D with integrated Ethernet + Dante card for advanced AoIP applications with 64×64 Dante Audio over IP channels. The Ethernet + Dante card is also optionally available for subsequent upgrading of the ZONE X1208.
