BSS introduces Soundweb Contrio networked control and audio distribution platform

The Soundweb Contrio platform and its two initial products, the Contrio server and Contrio Wall Controller range, are the first within the Soundweb Contrio family that will ultimately provide enhanced system control capability and audio routing flexibility for a variety of applications. Significantly, these and all future Soundweb Contrio products will be backward compatible with existing BSS Audio Soundweb London devices, providing the widest and most comprehensive choice of audio processing, distribution and control devices available in a single system solution today. CONTRIO SERVER At just 1U rack space, the Soundweb Contrio server is powered by an embedded iteration of HARMAN’s HiQnet™ software. It provides advanced system control, system management and media server functionality at a central point of the network. It offers a comprehensive logic and scripting environment, enables system self-healing and error

management, networked audio message playback and system-wide preset and media scheduling. WALL CONTROLLERS The Contrio wall controller lineup features four models that, in addition to advanced multiple zone control, can easily be employed in a room-combining and splitting environment. The controllers are available in white or black, US and EU form factors and provide visual feedback for endusers to easily manage and adjust audio operation in a specific environment.

JBL expands AWC outdoor speaker range JBL Professional has expanded the popular AWC range with the AWC159 and AWC15LF compact all-weather loudspeakers. Designed to deliver world-class sound quality and high SPL capability for outdoor applications, the AWC’s widerange, smooth frequency response and high sensitivity ensure high-fidelity music reproduction and superb

projection of clear, intelligible speech. The AWC159 is a compact, 15-inch, 2-way coaxial loudspeaker with compression-driver high frequency, while the AWC15LF is a 15-inch low-frequency loudspeaker designed for outdoor applications where additional low frequency is required. Both can be operated as direct low-impedance (8 ohms) or on a 70V or 100V

distributed line via built-in 300 Watt low-saturation, multi-tap transformers. Components are highly weather-treated and a 3-layer grille with vapourbarrier backing minimizes direct rain contact with the system transducers.

and swimming facilities, as well as for arenas, general public address and a variety of other indoor and outdoor applications. > http://bit. ly/1tu8AUV

The IP-56 outdoor rating and wide frequency response makes them ideal for projects such as racetracks, stadiums, theme parks, fairgrounds, skating rinks
