You don’t need DMX to control a KLS an four additional speakers – you only need a DMX line…

A DMX line, a spot with 3 DMX channels and the Eurolite FP-1 foot pedal, to be more precise. Sound sstrange, but it is not at all. A maximum of four spot have to be connected to the DMX out of the KLS and then lopped through (it works with KLS- 200, 401, 801, 1001). Everything is controlled with the foot pedal in a kind of Master/Slave mode.

Necessary requirement, the spot’s 3 channel DMX mode needs the following starting addresses:

Synchronic to panel 1 of the respective KLS: starting address 4
Synchronic to panel 2 of the respective KLS: starting address 7
Synchronic to panel 3 of the respective KLS: starting address 10
Synchronic to panel 4 of the respective KLS: starting address 13

Functionality of the foot switch remains unchanged: blackout, freeze, sound control, auto program.

Here are some of our spots which can be connected:
EUROLITE ACS Bars RGB,
EUROLITE PAR-64 RGB 24x5W,
EUROLITE PAR-64 RGB 36x1W Short sil
EUROLITE ML-56 TCL 18x3W
EUROLITE PAR-64 TCL 18x3W

To those who cannot call a KLS their own we recommend to take a look at our 8 KLS Kombo Packs. With the Kombo Pack 7 we also offer an alternative without DMX.

Scanners also offer the choice. The choice between conventional or new technology: halogen or LED. We show you, which devices are comparable. The final decision, which way to go in the future is not ours, it is up to you…

Compared to static effects scanners feature a benefit. Due to the mirror deflaction the light beams have wider operating range. Moreover, the show gets more dynamic with the motion of the mirrors. But how to create this dynamic action, with halogen or LED? After all, it is a given fact, that considering the light power. LEDs have closed the ranks a can replace halogen models easily. We show you which models can be compared and thus are exchangeable.

By the way, when you are looking for cheap LED effects with mirror deflection you should take a look at the Eurolite LED PD series or the Eurolite LED TWS-10. Also our new flowers with mirror (Eurolite LED MFS-100) and with mirror barrel should not be forgotten.

If there was a league for speaker cables, our new representatives would definitely be part of it. With Neutrik as team mate and German manufacturing skills, the enormous high quality of our cable team shines through.

The 2 pole speakon cables from PSSO have been developed to serve the demanding and professional engineer. It was our goal, to produce a highly reliable cable which is rugged enough for the road and which overcomes a vast number of plugging procedures uncomplainingly – everything without being too expensive. In collaboration with Neutrik we have achieved this goal.

Neutrik supplies the very stable Speakon NL2FC cable plugs, the cables are made in Germany. Up to now we offer three cables with different lengths, 5 m, 10 m and 15 m.
With our PSSO Speakon cables we have accommodated a new product family which is perfectly suited for our PSSO audio products. And one thing is sure, it won’t be the last family to join our cable assortment.

• Connector A: Neutrik Speakon NL2FC plug
• Connector B: Neutrik Speakon NL2FC plug
• Cable cross-section: 2.5 mm²
• Cable length: 5 m, 10 m, 15 m
  
• Cable diameter: 7 mm
• Weight: 0.5 kg
• Cable construction 140 x 0.15

The human ear is mainly adapted to the frequency range where speech is transmitted. Frequencies below this frequency range are less noted although the same physical level is present. In practice, this effect requires higher bass power e. g. by more powerful subwoofers, more subs or a mixture of both. As speakers generally have a low efficiency comparable to a halogen lamp, manufacturers try to achieve the highest efficiency by optimized housing shapes. But not every housing shape is suitable for every event location and audience. The following article should help to find the suitable subwoofer type.

1. Introduction

The loudspeaker celebrates its 150th anniversary based on the invention of the telephone by Philipp Reis in the year 1861. Already in the year 1878, the electro-dynamic loudspeaker was patented. This kind of loudspeaker is still built into most speaker-systems today.

If such a loudspeaker is operated without housing, an acoustic short-circuit is produced because the sound waves produced by both membrane sides are eliminated by each other. The volume is clearly reduced, especially the lower frequencies. A pragmatic use is not possible like this so that diverse types of loudspeaker housings for different applications were developed.
