PRODUCTS EM Acoustics HALO Arena Large Format Line Array EM Acoustics has released the HALO Arena (HALO-A) large format line array system. The larger HALO-A follows the same core design as the more compact HALO-C, providing EM Acoustics’ “maximum headroom” design approach that is meant to ensure consistency of performance regardless of SPL level. The HALO-A is a compact enclosure (14.3/362 x 40.2/1020 x 24.4/619 in/mm) that weighs 145.2 lbs. The HALO-A utilizes a proprietary emulation manifold, which combines the energy of four 3.4-in. diaphragm, 1.4-in. exit compression drivers into a plane-wave array. This assembly gives a significant moving area for the high frequency section and also provides twice the headroom of comparable systems, according to the company. The HF section is flanked by a pair of high-power 3.5-in. voice coil, 12-in. neodymium low frequency transducers. These two drive units are combined with low turbulence porting and gener- ous cabinet volume.

Crest C1 Series Contracting & Installation Amplifiers Crest Audio has introduced the C1 Series range of contracting and installation amplifiers featuring Class D designs, onboard digital signal processing, Dante protocol networking, and USB/Ethernet connectivity for monitoring and control. The C1 Series currently comprises four models: the C1 86k eight-channel amplifier with 750 W per channel into 4 ohms; C1 48k four-channel amplifier with 2,000 W per channel into 4 ohms; C1 44k four-channel amplifier with 1,000 W per channel into 4 ohms; and C1 25k two-channel amplifier with 2,500 W per channel into 4 ohms. All models incorporate a highly efficient switch mode power supply and Class D circuitry with full bandwidth PWM modulators for ultra-low distortion, high efficiency, and improved circuit protection. The clip/limiter function provides output monitoring to prevent speaker damage with gentle gain reduction at clip threshold as well as efficient heat dissipation and overheat protection.
