Still celebrating her fifth anniversary, Alcons Audio will be present at the PLASA show with a number of new products and developments.
Though this year’s stand is still under the headquarters’ name, the stand is actually hosted by recently founded Alcons Audio UK.
Main eye catcher on the stand will be the “R-Ray” design study; Becoming an annual “stand feature”, Alcons shares a glimpse of R&D projects, by displaying assembled prototype products of which part developments may be applied in future products.
R-Ray shows the study on achieving maximum projection control through a modular point-source cluster, utilizing (pro-ribbon) line-source technology.
Most important product news is the presentation of the definitive LR7; latest and smallest member of Alcons’ successful pro-ribbon line-arrays. Typed as “micro pro-ribbon line-array”, the system features a single 6.5” woofer, next to a 4” pro-ribbon driver, in a 15-degree vertical projection configuration. The 16 ohms impedance and a choice of 90-degree or 120-degree horizontal projection, makes the LR7 ideal for A/V projects, where very compact form factor with perfect line-array throw and imaging are required.
The Digital Drive Processor (DDP™) exchangeable processing device of the ALC amplified loudspeaker controllers, is the important part of Alcons’ “system synergy” philosophy.
The latest firmware V1.5 will be on demo, with new features and extended functionality (adjustable subwoofer characters, cardioid subwoofer presets, array compensations, a.o.)
The very successful LR14 ultra-compact line-array system now offers a 120-degree version, as well as a 90-degree version: The currently shipping LR14/90 features the Alcons RBN401 pro-ribbon driver with a 90 x 15 degree projection and double 6.5” woofers. With a total weight of only 15kg/33lb., the LR14/90 has one of the best “throw-to-size/weight” ratios in the industry.
