JBL VTX A12W The JBL A Series is a complete tour sound solution for mid- to large-size touring applications and high-end fixed installations. JBL VTX A12W was designed to address the requests from rental companies, FOH engineers and tour sound production crews who appreciated the advances introduced in the VTX A12, but needed wider horizontal coverage for their applications. Like the VTX A12, next-generation JBL transducer technology and a high-frequency waveguide design deliver unmatched performance, sensitivity and coverage - and now a 120º dispersion pattern ensures coverage for a variety of applications. VTX A12W features the same patented JBL rigging mechanism and redesigned suspension system to streamline deployment and setup, and can be flown independently or in mixed configurations with the VTX A12. Plus, VTX A12W retains the same physical design, compact size and reduced weight found in the original A12. The JBL A Series isn’t just a superior line array - it’s a completely new way to approach tour sound. www.jblpro.com
K-array Firenze-KH7
The K-array Firenze-KH7 is an extremely compact loudspeaker in an elegant frame with a high-power density. The self-powered, straight hang line array features four 12-inch coaxial neodymium magnet woofers with rotatable horns and produces an exceptional peak output of 141dB SPL for powerful, even coverage in the venue. An integrated Class-D amplifier delivers four x 2,000W at four ohms. More than ever before, owners require a flexible audio system for their multi-functional venues and the KH7’s ability to electronically steer the acoustics allows users to direct the sound beam to concentrate the audio in a targeted area to adapt to any layout in a large venue. The sound performance is maximized with the ability to precisely and independently control each element of the KH7 array eliminating noise pollution. Just by looking at the loudspeaker, it’s apparent the KH7 is a lightweight solution that won’t disrupt the overall layout of the venue and its sleek design helps to integrate it seamlessly. But the most significant benefit of its Slim Array Technology is that the compact design allows sound to exit instantaneously without resonance, generating a significant amount of sound pressure in the low and low-mid range which results in a better impulse response and maximum sound clarity and definition. www.k-array.com

KV2 Audio ESD Cube At the heart of an ESD Cube is KV2’s exclusive Trans-coil AIC technology which virtually eliminates voice coil inductance. For many KV2 products this unique technological advancement gives superior vocal clarity, projection and extremely low distortion, but in the Cube this is advanced to a whole new level. With perfect phase response across the extended frequency range, the vocal imaging and instrument placement on the Cube system is nothing short of stunning. It has the lowest distortion of any comparable speaker in its class, an increased dynamic range and an ultra low profile aluminium enclosure in a smart durable black finish. As a design statement Cube is available in any RAL colour you can imagine and its compact dimensions make it ideal for extremely discreet peripheral reinforcement in theatres, bars, clubs, churches, museums or tourist attractions. Use it stand alone in multiples of up to eight Cubes on a single ESP1000 amplifier, or as a complete system incorporating the ESD1.10 single 10” passive subwoofer, up to four Cubes and two ESD1.10 subwoofers per ESP1000. A simple proprietary flying bracket completes the system for a low profile look and easy installation. www.kv2audio.com
