B&C Speakers Introduces Its Largest Horn to Extract Maximum Potential From New DCX Coaxial HF Driver Family

In the wake of innovation breakthroughs made possible by wide-bandwidth ring radiator drivers, B&C Speakers has now released the ME464 1.4-inch horn built especially to extract the full potential of the DCX family of coaxial drivers. The largest horn so far introduced by the Italian company and commercially available, the ME464 horn offers 70° x 55° nominal coverage with constant directivity and excellent loading down to 300 Hz. The development follows the introduction of the B&C DCM414 midrange compression driver, building on the DNA of the DCX464 HF coaxial design.

A small iceberg has been turned into the most unlikely of gig venues in the Greenland Sea, as UK metal band The Defiled (Nuclear Blast Records) performed on top of the ice platform for the Jägermeister Ice Cold Gig – which sees artists put to the test as they perform in unconventional conditions. British company Studiomaster supplied a “berg suitable” PA for the world’s first ever gig, performed in sub-zero temperatures.

Loudspeaker inspection at PA rental companies can be achieved using NTi Audio’s RT-Speaker software (Standard Edition), together with the FX100 Audio Analyzer. The system offers both acoustic and electrical tests that can be set up and executed within a few seconds on returned loudspeakers.

In January 2014, JBL Professional introduced its new EON600 Series portable PA loudspeakers.

The latest addition to VUE Audiotechnik’s flagship h-Class family is the compact h-8 speaker, using the same advanced technologies developed for the larger h-12 and h-15 systems, combined into a compact and versatile design, ideal for applications where space is at a premium and exceptional performance is critical.
