Orange Amplification Rockerverb 50 Mk III Combo Neo Orange Amplification has introduced the slimmed-down Rockerverb 50 Mk III Combo Neo , with all the sonic characteristics of the Rockerverb , but now nearly 20 % lighter and more portable . The use of new technology and design tweaks has seen the Rockerverb 50 combo placed on a crash diet , losing nearly 8 kg .
Orange first revisited the cabinet construction for the Rockerverb 50 Mk III Combo Neo , slimming the Baltic birch plywood from 18 mm to 15 mm . Those slimmer walls removed approximately 2 kg without compromising build or sound quality , making it one of the lightest 2 × 12 ” speaker cabinets on the market . The existing V30 speakers have been replaced with new UK-built Celestion Creambacks . The neodymium in these speakers is more magnetic than standard ferrite , so less metal is required for the same job , meaning that , at only 1.9 kg each , the Creambacks perform like speakers three times their weight .
Lectrosonics M2Ra Digital Wireless Monitor Receiver Lectrosonics has introduced the M2Ra Digital Wireless Monitor Receiver , the next-generation receiver that is part of the M2 Duet Digital wireless IEM family . The new M2Ra receiver builds on the original version and features several key improvements and new features designed for professional touring , installation , theatre , and broadcast applications .
The original Duet system , designed for these same applications , was introduced in 2017 . The M2 System employs unique digital technology to provide ruler-flat frequency response , wide dynamic range with no compression , and maximum channel separation for rock-solid stereo imaging or reliable mono operation with no crosstalk . In addition , the digital audio eliminates a compandor and the associated artifacts . The result is clear sound and low distortion with a low latency of 1.6 ms . The transmitter and receiver housings are all-metal for maximum durability , and both analog and Dante™ digital signal sources are supported .
