AtlasIED Announces Strategic Investment in Fyne Audio

AtlasIED, the commercial audio specialist that is now expanding its strategy to new market segments, announced a strategic investment in the famous Scottish loudspeaker manufacturer, Fyne Audio - a manufacturing built from the ashes and engineering tradition of Tannoy. The partnership is intended to combine AtlasIED’s expertise in integrated solutions with Fyne Audio’s transducer technologies to open broader market opportunities for both companies.

Truly reminding us of those large JBL and Urei speakers and studio monitors, but promising the subtle performance of a pair of Quad electrostatics, the Elypsis1512 loudspeakers, from British brand Stratton Acoustics is a very unusual proposition in current times. According to the company, the Elypsis1512 is a loudspeaker system with high efficiency and wide bandwidth, very low coloration and distortion, and "the ability to paint solid aural images."

We’ve not heard much from Uli Behringer’s ventures for almost all of 2016, except for the fact that MUSIC has been hiring and restructuring all its world operations, centered on expanded manufacturing facilities in China. Now MUSIC confirmed the appointment of yet another ex-Harman executive, this time to lead its Installed Sound efforts.

UK loudspeaker manufacturer Tannoy has launched a new range of surface mount architectural loudspeakers incorporating its very latest Dual Concentric technology. The new series was introduced at the InfoComm 2015 show and is targeted at entertainment and hospitality venues where quality and reliability is required.

Since, in September 2014, the TC Group publicly announced that, based on its shareholders’ interest, it was open for a sale of its entire operations, there where rumors about a three-tiered race between Harman, Yamaha and Behringer. During Prolight+Sound 2015, Harman confirmed it was out of the race. Now, the MUSIC Group confirmed the acquisition.

Tannoy introduced a new full range Dual Concentric loudspeaker to its VX Series of premium grade passive sound reinforcement solutions. The new compact VX 8M is a versatile solution with a tightly controlled 90 degree dispersion for optimum coverage and forward gain, and a peak output of 119dB. The new enhanced steel grill also allows the use as a floor monitor.
