The Spanish manufacturer Equipson<\/a>, known primarily for its vast catalog and the Work Pro<\/a> brand, brought a number of new products to Amsterdam this year, concentrating on speaker enclosures for difficult environmentally-challenging installation applications. <\/strong> The Spanish manufacturer Equipson, known primarily for its vast catalog and the Work Pro brand, brought a number of new products to Amsterdam this year, concentrating on speaker enclosures for…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4009],"tags":[3686,3812],"yoast_head":"\n
\nJuan Jos\u00e8 Vila<\/strong>, COO & CMO of Equipson, showed us around the Equipson booth and pointed out some of their latest offerings. \u201cThough they are not brand new,\u201d said Vila, \u201cwe have improved our IP54 Athos Series<\/strong> surface-mount fiberglass speaker enclosures. They equipped with transformers, so that they can be installed in low-impedance or constant voltage systems in outdoor applications.\u201d
\n\u201cThen we have our Garden<\/strong> speakers,\u201d continued Vila. \u201cThere are two 2-way directional models in the discreet shape of rocks \u2013 MR 110 S<\/strong> and MR 110 G<\/strong>, sand- and grey-coloured, respectively. There is also an omnidirectional model, NGS 5L<\/strong>, with a single 5″ full-range transducer. Then there is a big below-ground 8″ subwoofer, the NGS 8S<\/strong>, with the enclosure concealed below-ground and only the port visible above the ground. Theses are for parks, hotel swimming pool areas, and are equipped for constant voltage input and are IP65 rated. The solution is already available and, in fact, there is a zoo in Holland where they are installing 400 units of this one.\u201d
\nNew speakers
\n<\/strong>Making their debut at the show were the SoundNut Series<\/strong> pendant speakers. These are elegant, customisable hanging enclosures, designed especially for environments with difficult environmental characteristics.
\n\u201cOur new SoundNut <\/strong>enclosures feature<\/strong> coaxial transducers,\u201d explained Vila. \u201cThere are four models now, with another on the way. There are 6″, 8″, and 10″ models, while with the same enclosure of the 10″ model, we offer an 8″ sub. In places such as casinos and some other venues there is no possibility to place any speakers on the floor, so everything is pendant. These are also IP65, as indoor swimming pools are an important market for this type of enclosure, as they create fewer reflections. They have magnetized grilles and the top covers are made of fiberglass,\u201d adds Vila, \u201cand they can be customised by us or by the customer.\u201d
\nEquipson were also presenting more IP65 speakers for small venues, with two new enclosures: WFS 10 CX+<\/strong> \u2013 a 10″, two-way, 300 W speaker for mid-field, and WFS 10 CX 500,<\/strong> which can handle power up to 1000 W for longer-throw applications. \u201cAnother new series we are presenting at ISE 2019 is a series of aluminum column speakers: UDA4<\/strong>, UDA2<\/strong> and UDA1<\/strong> \u2013 respectively with 4\u00d73″, 2\u00d73″ and 1\u00d73″ transducers. These columns are IP65-rated and fire resistant,. The next step is to have them EN54 certified\u201d.

\nLightShark by Work Pro
\n<\/strong>Finally, Work Pro<\/strong> was showing off their revolutionary lighting control system LightShark<\/strong>, winner of an AV Award <\/em>in 2018.
\nLightShark is a lighting control system able to drive up to eight universes of DMX. It has a unique web-based user interface that can connect to up to three iOS, Android, Linux, Windows or macOS devices at the same time to create multiscreen control system.
\n\u201cLightShark has been the most successful product ever for us,\u201d stated Vila. \u201cLS1 has a control surface with a computer inside, while LS-core is the smallest eight-universe lighting console in the world. It has the same features as LS-1 but the parameters are controlled completely through a mobile device. While other PC-based lighting controllers require software to be installed on the user’s computer, LightShark uses the external devices solely as the interface. The advantage of this unique system is that the functions of the controller don’t depend on an external processor and are not affected by the stability of the users’s device.\u201d
