JOLT BAR FX

The ADJ Jolt Bar FX features a central strip of 112 x 5W cool white SMD LEDs, surrounded on both sides by a total of 672 x 0.3W RGB colour mixing SMD LEDs. This allows the same fixture to generate intense white strobing and multicoloured chase effects. Both types of LED are also grouped into independently controllable zones (16 white and 32 colour), which means the unit can also be used to generate strobe chases and other ‘eye candy’ effects. With a wide 116° beam angle and immense light output, the Jolt Bar FX is ideally suited to large concert and festival stages, as well as dance events and big nightclub installations. It is supplied with a pair of versatile 180° hanging brackets, which can also be used as floor stands, and is designed such that multiple units can be positioned side by side to create continuous zone chase effects. For strobe effects, the unit offers variable speed between 0.35Hz and 25Hz and its LED refresh rate can also be adjusted between 900 and 25kHz. The fixture offers a choice of 11 different DMX modes (6, 9, 13, 16, 18, 32, 38, 42, 64, 112 and 126 channels), allowing flexibility depending on the level of control required and the number of channels available. To aid with quick and eye-catching programming, the unit is also supplied with 25 built-in RGB LED programme macros and nine built-in white LED programme macros. An intuitive four touch button LCD menu display on the rear of the unit facilitates easy DMX addressing as well as configuration of the various operating modes. Measuring 1m in length, the fixture is compact in its other dimensions (104mm and 111mm). It has a robust metal construction yet has been carefully engineered to keep its weight to a minimum (3.99kg), making it ideal for concert touring and event production applications. It is fitted with locking power input and output sockets, allowing multiple fixtures to be connected from a single power outlet, which are positioned on either side of the fixture – together with the fivepin DMX input and output sockets – to allow convenient setup and neat cable runs.

CLAYPAKY

SHARPY X FRAME

The Claypaky Sharpy X Frame takes the best features of the Sharpy line and integrates a four-focal plane shutter system in a lightweight, compact fixture. The unit’s source is the powerful 550W arc lamp that makes this fixture extremely bright and produces deep and vivid uniform colours (including an unmatched deep red). As a completely hybrid, multifunction fixture, the Sharpy X Frame is not limited to beam effects – it can also be a spot, profile, or wash unit. This fixture replaces much larger luminaires using the longer-life 550W arc lamp. Although a small fixture by most standards, nothing is sacrificed in the Sharpy X Frame fixture’s feature set. In addition to the four-focal plane shutter system, the unit offers a rotating gobo wheel with eight rotating gobos, a static gobo wheel, four and eight-facet rotating prisms, linear frost, a colour system featuring CMY, CTO and a separated colour wheel, and six beam reducers starting at 0.5°. With a zoom range from 2° to 52°, the Sharpy X Frame can do unparalleled visual effects. The unit is fitted with a 160mm front lens and proven Claypaky optics for producing sharp images and collimated beams. The Sharpy X Frame is the most versatile, compact hybrid fixture on the market that addresses the needs for a bright spot, aerial effects unit, framing fixture and everything in between in an affordable, compact package.

Belgian manufacturer, AUDIOFOCUS has released a complete new range of installation loudspeakers. Created in response to customer demand, AUDIOFOCUS has developed dedicated installation versions of its point source, constant curvature, line array, subwoofer and stage monitor designs. As part of the development process, touring features such as grab handles and rigging systems have been removed or simplified to make the new variants highly costefficient without compromise to their audio performance, while aesthetic changes enable the speakers to blend discreetly into installed environments. Both passive and bi-amplified options are offered for most of the new installation models. “AUDIOFOCUS built its reputation for audio fidelity and high return on investment in the touring world, but we have always enjoyed strong relationships with integrators who wanted to carry those same benefits into their fixed installation projects,” explained Managing Director, Ann Leroy. “There are no fewer than 19 new installation loudspeakers in the range, from the super-compact VENU 8ix point source cabinets right through to our powerful S 21i subwoofers. It has been a huge project for the team, but the result is a complete installation loudspeaker solution that is ready for deployment in clubs, theatres, stadiums, houses of worship and any other environment where audio performance and competitiveness take priority.” The new installation models are built in Belgium using highquality European components and are available for immediate shipment.
