Robert Juliat invente un concept ultra-modulaire autour d’un projecteur compact, disponibles au format découpe ou Fresnel, en température de couleur fixe ou variable, aux carrosseries multicolores. Bref que du choix. Pour faire le point voici notre test de la découpe Led Tibo 533 en 3 versions de blanc.

The latest addition to the JB-Lighting range, loaded with 61 15-watt RGBW LEDs, the A12 moving head wash is presented as a technological flagship capable of competing with 1200 W arc-source lights. Beyond the advertising claims, does this unassuming, 100% German mover really revolutionize a market locked into a race for power? When the Parisian rental company NAT didn't hesitate to invest in a significant number of A12s – 500 units – we decided it was necessary to bring one to the test bench.

LEDs have replaced most of the lamps in our fixtures for show lighting, although certainly in each case with more or less success. There is still one type of product in which no one had thought to install them: the strobe. Peter Johansen, who marks his return to the industry at the command of SGM, had this great idea and offers us his X-5, a strobe loaded with white LEDs. We put on our sunglasses and take a closer look at it.

Undisputed and highly respected leader on the high-end analog console market, Midas took its time before tackling the growing sector of digital consoles. After a strategic observation period, the British firm finally unveiled in 2007 the XL8, an uncompromising digital mixing system, carrying over all of the audio qualities of its illustrious predecessors (Heritage, XL4, XL3 etc.) but also some new, innovative and original operating solutions. Unfortunately, due to its size and its elitist price positioning, five years after its release, the XL8 is still an object of unfulfilled fantasy and desire for most sound engineers.

There are now three models in the Wildsun 500 moving head wash family of luminaires. The 500C, the first in the range, RGBW with a 11° - 45° zoom and an average white of 4000K has met with true success and has already been adopted in the Dushow and Phase 4 parks, among others, and has also been included in the kit for the Bruce Springsteen tour with Morpheus. There is also the 500S (S for Stage), RGBW, with a tighter 8° to 40° zoom and a cooler white at 6700K to provide extra pep to the beams. It is this model that we have chosen to look at more closely.

Based on its expertise in DSP and finite impulse response (FIR) with the ensuing success of its DSR series, YAMAHA hit the nail on the head by launching its DXR range of speakers on the compact sound distribution market. Speakers boasting the same processing technology but offered at an even keener price.

It is the new Philips MSR lamp 35R Platinum, 800 W that inspired the Clay Paky R&D department with the specifications of this Alpha Spot 800 QWO, an extremely compact fixture with a very wide zoom range. The goal was to provide the light output of a 1200 W fixture in a smaller 700 W chassis, with high projection quality.

In order to meet the demand of the installed sound systems market, Electro-Voice offers a series of specific products under the name “EV-Innovation”. Within this series, four different formats can fulfil almost all the needs of consultants, installers and system integrators.
