2.4 GHz Wireless Audio Transmitter-Sound Port The Sound Port
is a very useful little product for those who like music. It gives you the
freedom to listen to the music you love in the way you want to. One end
plugs into what you want to play, the other end plugs into where you want
to play it - the result, music to your ears! So you could play your MP3
player through your hi-fi, music from your computer through your DAB
Digital Radio, your cassette player through your garden speakers - as long
as the 'speakers' have a Line In port and the player has a headphone
socket you can use any combination that suits you.The best part of this
system though is the fact that the transmitters can be up to 50m apart and
still work. This means the 'speakers' and the player do not even need to
be in the same room, giving you the freedom to roam wherever the music
takes you.

The MIDAS XL8 live performance system is truly revolutionary
and heralds Midas’ entry into the digital mixing realm. However, this is
not merely another digital mixing console. XL8 offers an incomparable
design combining exemplary sound quality, flexibility and reliability with
an ease and familiarity of use unrivalled by other digital control
surfaces. XL8 is the first of a new generation of open-architecture,
cross-platform, integrated audio control and distribution systems, which
brings control of not only audio, but other aspects of a live performance
to a single, intuitive control centre.
As well as offering classic Midas audio quality and superb reliability,
XL8 actually improves upon the performance of the analogue consoles, which
have established Midas as the number one choice of sound engineers the
world over. XL8 represents a new generation of networked systems,
requiring only mics, amps and speakers to provide a complete audio system.
The XL8’s open architecture ensures that both third-party hardware and
software, including “plug-ins” can be easily integrated into the
system.XL8 has been designed so the engineer does not have to think in
terms of numbers, pages or layers. Users navigate the system and identify
channels by colours and groupings, which they themselves create. This
method allows an individualised approach to mixing, rather than working
within hardware-dictated numerical limitations. This reassuringly familiar
way of working is central to the XL8 and ensures that engineers do not
have to change their way of thinking to feel comfortable with the new
system.
Each of the five bays of the console is a discrete hardware module, which
is independent of its neighbour and incorporates its own power supply,
surface processor, GUI processor and screen. The only common connection is
via a single Ethernet link to the network.
The standard 5-bay control surface comprises a total of five of the
following three modules:
• 3 x Input module
• 1 x Mix module
• 1 x Output module.

MiNi-DiGiRack
The 4u high,19 inch rack mount unit houses two power supplies with
separate mains connectors and switches. It comes as standard with a MADI
pod, or with an optional Optical MADI pod. And the newly designed back
plane allows any slot to be either input or output for analogue
connections, or both in and out for digital connections such as AES/EBU.
Before digital technology was fully embraced, many engineers wanted to
connect a large number of external devices and a typical local rack for a
D5 Live had 56 inputs and 56 outputs. Now that engineers have used the
console for some time, the tendency is to use its powerful internal
effects and processing capabilities, thus negating the necessity for a
large local rack.

something that meets the requirements". During consultations with Fire
Officers, the brief which evolved required that, in order to avoid panic
when a fire alarm activates, the programme level in the venue should be
reduced and not cut altogether, and that a mic override facility should
provide one guaranteed microphone into the system. In the firm belief
that regulations will become even tighter the company felt that it was
time to develop a unit that would satisfy all these requirements but
would also serve other uses. So Formula Sound have developed and
produced the Guardian CX4. The unit is not restricted to entertainment
venues and may be used with any sound system where a priority override
facility is required. It is ideal for use in shopping centres, malls and

SB-1
The Sound BeamFrom Meyer Systems.The basic Sound Beam
specification calls for a 5-octave bandwidth (500Hz to 16kHz) with a
constant beamwidth of under ten degrees to below 1kHz. The only way to
meet this specification was to design a horn with a
frequency-versus-dispersion characteristic that counterbalanced the
effects of the parabolic reflector, and then aim a transducer fitted
with such a horn into the dish. This seemingly simple principle,
however,required considerable engineering finesse to accomplish in
reality. Also, testing of prototypes revealed unacceptable lobing
characteristics at the lower end of the desired spectrum. These problems
were solved by placing a 12-inch, band-limited cone driver in the center
of the dish and using electronic processing to adjust
frequency-versus-phase relationships. In the beta production version,
the Sound Beam SB-1 comprises a 48-inch fiberglass parabolic reflector
and a bullet-shaped driver pod housing a 4-inch compression driver and
patent-pending conical horn. The dish housing contains the aiming
mechanism along with signal processing electronics and dual 620 watt
power amplifiers. MeyerCheck
