APG Uniline bolstered
by 18-inch sub
DESCRIBED AS the ‘big brother’ of the
existing UL115B, the 18-inch UL118B has
become the second dedicated subwoofer to
join APG’s Uniline modular line array. The new
larger sub is expected to broaden the appeal
of the French manufacturer’s system, taking
it into a larger range of applications including
arenas, stadia, and outdoor festivals.
A schematic of the UL118B
Primarily intended for use in conjunction with
the UL115B as an infra-bass extension for
large systems, the UL118B can also be used
as a primary subwoofer for medium-sized
applications requiring more low-end extension.
It was reportedly developed in response to
requests from the television market requiring
an 18-inch solution that could be own to
protect sight-lines.
The sub comprises a single convection
cooled neodymium transducer mounted in a
double-chamber band-pass enclosure, with
an integrated four point rigging system for
suspension. It can also be ground-stacked
using the same rigging accessories as the
rest of the Uniline range. Cardioid and arc
con gurations are also possible thanks to the
Speakon connector on the front.
In more Uniline news, APG has expanded the
range of available accessories in the shape
of the UlRail lightweight ying rail for single
arrays of UL210 and/or UL210D, and the
UlStack lightweight stacking accessory. Both
are intended to facilitate the deployment of
small systems, either in xed installations or
for the rental market.
Two standard racks have also been
announced. The 4-in/4-out UniRack
comprises a DMS48 digital system processor
and two SA30:2 ampli ers plus a full-featured
connection panel. The 4-in/8-out TourRack,
meanwhile, has been speci cally developed
for touring applications and includes a
DMS48 processor and four SA30:2 ampli ers
complete with the manufacturer’s CP1UM-IN
and CP1UM-OUT modular connection plates.
Both racks can be controlled via APG’s PWAPG
software.

Work addresses mid-size
market with Arion 5
SPANISH BRAND Work is adding to its Arion
line array series with the Arion 5, a compact,
The compact Arion 5 line array from Work
self-powered sibling to the already available
Arion 10. According to the manufacturer, the
new system is ‘perfect for small and medium
applications’ and offers ‘high SPL and
excellent frequency response’.
The Arion 5 is composed of four twoway satellites (the SL 25), a self-powered
tri-ampli ed subwoofer with built-in DSP
(the SL 115 SA) and a ying frame for
rigging. The tri-ampli ed module reportedly
provides complete control over each band,
with the ampli er delivering 1,000W to
the subwoofer and 650W plus 150W to
the satellites (mid and high respectively).
Meanwhile, the onboard DSP allows endusers access via dedicated software to a
number of key parameters for ideal system
optimisation.
Also new from the brand is the UDA 16, a
uniform dispersion array column speaker
designed to operate in acoustically dif cult
and particularly reverberant environments.
Constructed from aluminium to achieve a
light weight, the UDA 16 is described by the
manufacturer as ‘compact, portable and
elegant’. In addition, two of the columns
can be stacked and connected with a Z15A
ampli ed subwoofer to extend low-end
performance.
