F-3 Fazer Flightcase 230V900W - 51702680Keep dry!

With the F-3 Antari shows the answer to the question how a modern and sophisticated fazer should be equipped. At first, it’s the housing which catches the eye. Thanks to the case covering the unit is very sturdy, can easily be transported and stacked.
But the modern and silent air pump system is even more remarkable. This system produces an unbelievable dry fog leaving no residue. Even the heater stays dry and thus can achieve a much longer lifespan. Moreover, the fluid consumption is considerably low – 1 liter provides five hours of fogging.

Antari HZ-350 Hazer w/wireless Remote - 51702685Control needs no cable

The HZ-350 Hazer is a concession to customers demanding a reliable and comfortable radio control. Et voilà, the newly designed transmitter perfectly fits the hand and has an operating distance of up to 50 meters. That should be enough a distance for most applications. Its options with only two buttons (on/off) is kept easy with intent. Easy is the keyword, as the innovative LCD control offers a clear and uncomplicated structure. It allows users to set the hazer directly by just moving their fingertips. Simple – but convincing.

Omnitronic Little Helpers – Part II

Little Helper

In the second part we’d like to present you the remaining “Little Helpers” from Omnitronic. After we have focused on DI-Boxes, isolators, cable testers and signal switchers in the first part, it’s now about mini mixers and preamplifiers.

First comes the passive mini mixer OMNITRONIC LH-010, that can distribute the signal of four audio sources to one output. That makes it possible to create simple submixes or small mixers which can be extended with some channels for an additional group, for example for multitrack recordings or spot microphones. Another possibility is the use on stages to connect multiple guitars at the same time to avoid switching and disturbing noises during a concert. Different output levels of several guitars can already be adjusted in the run-up to a performance. Due to its passive construction, the LH-010 can also be used as 1 to 4 splitter, for example to supply multiple active speakers with the same signal without looping through all speakers. With two LH-010 the output signal of a mixer can be split for further processing in different media (PA, webcam, records, etc). Read more »

Little Helper from Omnitronic – Part I

Little Helper

Let’s talk about the so called „Little Helpers“ from Omnitronic. They have already simplified or even saved quite a few events. In the first part of our series we are concentrating on devices which can rather be found on live settings. Installation and studio environment are the topics of the second part.

It is probably the absolute classic assistant in event industry: the DI-Box (DI means “direct injection”, sometimes also “direct input”). On live stages the DI-Box has to complete three missions at once. First of all, impedance transformation. To directly supply a signal from keyboards, synthesizers, electric guitars or basses into the multicore and finally into the FOH mixer, the very high-resistant output impedance of these instruments has to be transformed. Normally, an electric guitar has an output impedance of several thousand ohms whereas a microphone features only a few hundred ohms. Now, the DI-Box, from a technical point of view, transforms an instrument signal into a microphone signal – thus preparing the signal for further processing in a mixer. The inputs of the instruments’ amplifiers are equipped accordingly and thereby don’t have to be supplied with a transformed signal. Because of this it is possible to simultaneously tap the input signal of the DI-Box and to feed it into the amplifier, which is mostly used as stage monitor. Read more »

Box lifts automatically

Boxenhochständer LF-01

Everybody who’s a band member should know how hard it can be to lift up a speaker box – really nothing to enjoy. But Omnitronic produces relief with its LF-01. By virtue of its integrated gas spring the stand alleviates installation dramatically.

Once placed on the stand the self-lifting weight system will do the rest – even up to a load of 25 kg. Simply release the locking screw and the speaker will rise as if by an invisible hand. Having reached the appropriate height the speaker can be arrested by turning the screw a second time. Only low effort is needed to bring down the speaker once again.

The LF-01 is made of aluminum and can carry a maximum of 40 kg. So, even when you’re mounting a 40 kg speaker, the gas spring will carry 25 kg – it’s just the difference you have to lift up yourself. There is no need to make life difficult, is it?

EUROLITE LED RibbonFlexibility is their major trump: now, our LED ribbons are even more flexible, as we reduced prices…

There are several articles which a real steady runners within the installation section. LED rubber lights surely are part of this group. But it’s no surprise, because of their flexible material and even light output the light belts are pleasantly welcomed guests. In addition, installation is really simple as well.

We have reduced prices of numerous Eurolite LED ribbons. It concerns all single-colored versions, outdoor models included.
