SOUND

Flex Array

Turbosound

Flex Array is a medium-scale professional sound reinforcement system that combines elements of Turbosound's patented point-source system with line-array technology for a loudspeaker that can be used in either line-array or point-source configurations, with the ability to rotate the mid/high waveguide within the enclosure. Using a patent-pending Dendritic horn and all-neodymium drive units, the system is fully arrayable with flywear integrated into the box for rapid setup with no external parts. It can also be used with external yokes and brackets for semi-permanent and fixed installations. The bandpass low frequency cabinet utilizes a high power neodymium 18" drive unit and can either be flown with mid/highs or ground-stacked. Digitally self-powered versions with integrated lightweight Class D amplifier modules are also available.

Vi Series^™ Upgrade

Soundcraft

Vi Series^™ digital live sound consoles now support multiple stage boxes, so a digital patchbay can be created where the engineer can select the 64 inputs to a Soundcraft Vi6^™ (or 48 on the Soundcraft Vi4^™) from a selection of inputs available on any of the connected stage boxes. With two stage boxes connected, for example, there are 128 inputs from which to select; with three, there would be 172, and so on. The stage box is the main input/output interface for the system, with up to 64 mic/line inputs and 32 line outputs available, or AES/EBU digital cards can take the place of mic/line I/Os. Shows can be set up and configured using the new Vi Offline Editor and then downloaded to the console from a USB memory drive. All routing, naming, EQ, and dynamic settings can be pre-configured offline. The editor can also be configured to control the DSP core in the absence of the control surface, and thus can provide control of audio in an emergency.
