American Audio has “reinvented the humble speaker stand to be an eye-catching statement that helps to create a safe and inviting atmosphere”.

These can be used to make the legs glow in a choice of 20 static colours or come to life through the use of 22 dynamic modes.
Extending American Audio’s range of portable speaker systems, DJ Expo will also see the debut of the new STK-106W. This active portable array system combines a 10-inch woofer with a 6 x 2-inch driver array to create a compact yet powerful setup. Featuring Class D amplification providing 500 Watts + 250 Watts of power (1500 Watts peak), the system offers a wide frequency response of 45Hz – 20KHz. It features an integral mixer, which offers 2 x mono and 2 x stereo inputs as well as wireless connectivity.
The new ATX-15W, American Audio’s latest full-range active speaker, will also be on display. Combining a 15-inch woofer with a 1.36” titanium diaphragm tweeter, this attractively-designed 2-way speaker constructed with a modern lightweight cabinet is both stand-mountable and flyable. It also features an angled shape – which allows its use as a wedge monitor – as well as a built-in 2-channel audio mixer with wireless stereo connectivity, making it an extremely versatile unit
The final new product that will be on show at DJ Expo is the innovative POW-R BAR65. This forward-thinking tool for any working DJ, entertainer, technician or installer is a utility power block that combines six surge-protected AC power sockets and a four-port USB 3.0 hub in one heavy-duty unit.
