Two way “line array” speaker QSA210
The QSA-210 is a two way passive line array speaker featuring Two 10” neodymium magnet woofers and Two 1” exit (1.7” voice coils) neodymium magnet HF drivers. A single QSA 210 cabinet handles 500w RMS at 8 ohms and delivers 127dB SPL. The system is based on a totally new technology:The Isophasic Plane Wave Generator.The Isophasic Plane Wave Generator utilizes path length equalization technology, which generates planar wave fronts over a wide operating band.The higher frequencies pass thru as rays, while at lower frequencies the refractor lens represent a close spaced array of diffraction slots. The result is a line shaped source evenly distributed within the cabinet as well as within the linearray. It allows high power and precise line arrayperformance to be generated from a column of biamped cabinets just 60 cm ( 23.6”) wide. The cabinet is designed for extremely quick set-up and the included two point flying hardware provides Two different settings (0° and 5°) to allow the creation of a straight line array and curved clustering (J-Array). The express bar is designed for sturdy fly mounting as well as ground-stacking the cabinets. |

Turbosound iNSPIRE 2000 | The new Turbosound iNSPIRE 2000 modular column speakers are ready for action. The cardboard boxes have done their job, keeping them safe on a few jobs. Now the Turbosound transport bags have arrived and extremely smart they look. The bags make the system very easy to handle with cut outs for the pair of grip handles on the sides of the bass cabinet and a shoulder strap as well as a strap handle on the mid top bag . The system is very easy to set up, you just put the bass cab on the floor, mate the bottom of the “A” mid top section with it, then put the “B” mid top section into the socket/spigot on the top of the “A” section, connect the power and signal and that’s it. Very clean and uncomplicated. The description is more complicated than actually doing it!. The whole arrangement has now been made even simpler as I now use combined power and signal cables so there is no need to run two cables, a power cable and a signal cable to each system. When you hear the Turbosound iNSPIRE 2000 you don’t expect the big sound they produce to come from such a neat system. The other things which are actually very significant to what they can be used for, are the dispersion and the drop off characteristic .Over the mid, (vocal) range and Hf; the coverage angle sounds as though its over 120 degrees and as the system is a good approximation to a line array in this frequency band, the drop of with distance is significantly lower than a point source system Technical Specifications Amplifier

Proel EDGE 8 CXPB |
The EDGE8CXP is a diffusion system with the characteristics of being truly compact and versatile. The custom made co-axial speaker has been developed on the specifics of the PROEL Research and Design laboratory. The results have been aimed at producing the best performance from an 8'' woofer combined with a 1'' driver. The woofer is comprised of an ISV (Interleaved Sandwich Voice Coil) and an aluminium casing. The double ventilated die-cast basket has been designed the have improved heat dissipation and thereby reduce the power compression level. The compression driver provides better excursion control and reduces distortion through use of Ferro-fluid.Coaxial 2-way vented enclosure. For more information have a look at the Proel web site
