PEAVEY UNVEILS ELEMENTS MARINE-GRADE CS SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS Peavey’s industry-leading has unveiled Elements C Series weatherproof loudspeakers. Reportedly, this series of composite enclosures are constructed from an advanced composite fiberboard material that is dimensionally stable in wet conditions and resists contamination yet has the resonant properties of wood. In order to qualify for marinegrade ranking, all metal components have been upgraded to 316 stainless steel for even higher resistance to pitting and corrosion. This includes the front grille, which is now stainless steel rather than aluminium, and the permeable hydrophobic membrane between the speaker and the grille has also been upgraded. The number of mounting points has been reduced in order to reduce the risk of corrosion and water/salt ingress but a purpose-built U-bracket with a positive locking mechanism is included to allow for fast and easy installation with maximum
angle adjustment. The CS versions also feature an integrated multi-tap transformer with 70V, 100V and 8 Ohm taps along with removeable plugs for all ports. All models are available in black or UV-protected marine-grade white. Like the Elements C Series, the CS versions are verified to IP56 level, although in reality the real IP rating is likely to be even higher. According to Peavey Commercial Audio’s North American sales manager, Scott Schumer, the Elements CS versions are a welcome addition to the range. “We developed the CS versions in direct response to requests from a number of customers,” recalls Schumer. “One client in particular specifically required marinegrade speakers for a cruise ship installation and wanted to use Elements, so it made sense to build them. It’s clearly a very logical extension to a successful range, so we
were only too happy to oblige!” The Elements CS Series is available in three two-way, full range configurations and as a flyable subwoofer. The Elements 115Cs and Elements 112Cs feature 15” and 12” weatherproof Black Widow woofers and an RX 22 2” titanium diaphragm compression driver tweeter coupled to a Quadratic-Throat Waveguide rotatable horn. The Elements 115CS
and Elements 112CS can be ordered with either a 60°X 40°or a 105° X 60°horn. The Elements 108CS combines a 75°X 75°horn with an 8” weatherproof woofer in a compact and durable enclosure. The Elements 212CS subwoofer is a flyable subwoofer enclosure featuring a pair of 12” weatherproof woofers.
4U form factor. Future capabilities will include video wall processing as well as seamless switching. “Whatever the size, environment or complexity of your installation, VS34FD enables complete customization and provides an end-to-end AV
solution for both current requirements and future technologies”, said David Margolin, VP Marketing at Kramer. “Kramer is the first manufacturer to launch a fully flexible modular matrix switcher on this scale that is also 8K ready”, added Margolin.
KRAMER DEBUTS 8K SWITCHER Kramer Electronics has unveiled VS-34FD, a 34-port modular 8K multi format digital matrix switcher with interchangeable inputs & outputs. VS-34FD is a first of its kind 34-port is an 8K ready multi-format modular matrix switcher for AV signals, states Kramer. It supports HDMI, HDBaseT, DGkat, fiber optic, DVI, VGA HD-SDI as well as analog and digital audio. The VS-34FD chassis is backwards compatible with all existing cards (with the addition of an adapter) and futureproofs AV installations with an 8K ready chassis for upcoming 8K cards.
Furthermore, all ports can be used interchangeably as either inputs or outputs, according to installation requirements. VS-34FD has an independent audio matrix in addition to the audio features of the installed cards, a built-in Ethernet switch for use with any card that has an Ethernet port, and redundant hot swappable power supplies. All cards can also be hot swapped and due to the switcher’s automatic recognition it does not need to be re-configured when removing or inserting cards – All in a convenient
