Equipped with a 1" dome tweeter and 6" woofer, David essentially offers 100W (30W + 70W) of bi-amplified power. However, improvements to the amp's acoustic construction have led to an increase in its internal air volume, an optimization of the bass reflex construction and a larger power supply, resulting in actual sound pressure levels that are typical of more highly powered amps.

David's inputs will accommodate a microphone, an instrument and a stereo device such as a computer, MP3 player or CD. The instrument input and the jack input on the microphone channel both feature a Bootstrap technology that enables the input to automatically adapt to any impedance

Both the 8PX and 8PW series of LED tape are individually addressable and suitable for both stage and architectural applications, as well as any other indoor application; their use is only limited by the imagination of the designer.

The 8PW and 8PX LED tape offers designers flexibility as well; they can be joined together, cut to a smaller length, and are available in three different densities: 30, 60 and 144 pixels per meter. As expected, the brightness increases with the pixel density. Both the 8PW and the 8PX tape are backed by 3M adhe

This year Production Resource Group L.L.C. (PRG) showcased cutting edge developments that continue to provide practical yet inventive solutions to the various challenges of production. PRG understands that true innovation must enable producers, designers, gaffers, cinematographers and technicians to work smarter - to accomplish more, with greater efficiency, at lower costs.

One of the innovations making its debut at LDI was the PRG GroundControl Remote Followspot System. Followspot control hasn't changed for decades. It's time to take the truss spot operator out of the truss and put him on the ground where it's safer and more efficient to operate the followspot.

The PRG GroundControl System allows a technician to remotely operate a
