At PLASA 07, stand L29, Alcons Audio introduces several new products, including an interesting “design-study”. Extending the line-up of the B-series, the BF151 is a new, front-loaded bass system, for both permanent and portable applications. Featuring a single 15” long-excursion high-power woofer in combination with Alcons’ proprietary Signal Integrity Sensing pre-wiring, the BF151 delivers high quality, tight and accurate bass response.
Another highlight is the QB363. Featuring a triple-12” array-configuration, the QB363 acts as a modular low-end extension of the QR-series pro-ribbon column arrays. This bass system operates completely within the acoustic line-array parameters, resulting in perfect projection control. The modular principle enables vertical (or even horizontal) tight bass arrays up and even beyond 10 meters.
But highlight on the Alcons stand is the Phitom design study, a design concept about implementing pro-ribbon technology into a large-scale sound reinforcement system. Utilizing a new generation of extreme-power pro-ribbon transducer technology and new state-of-the-art cone driver designs, this development platform shows that “HiFi at concert SPLs” is no longer a hollow marketing phrase,
Other Alcons products on show include the QR36 ribbon-array columns, the LR16 pro-ribbon line-array which is now performing in the musical Fame in London’s West End, and the LR14 ultra-compact ribbon line-array which was installed at the Stuttgarter Staatsoper. |
