CBC Technical is proud to announce for those customers who have asked for it, that we are now L-Acoustics dealers.  You can find the entire line available to you online here.

Unique products require a unique approach… For this reason, L-ACOUSTICS created the V-DOSC Network.

With over 90 service providers in over 40 countries, this is the First Worldwide Rental Network for International Touring, providing some 10,000 DOSC enclosures with universal system compatibility and a global training support program.

In addition, L-ACOUSTICS Representatives, Distributors and Certified Providers, support the entire L-ACOUSTICS range of products, for sales and installations worldwide.

In North America, L-ACOUSTICS US is the manufacturing and distribution arm of the Europe-based parent company L-ACOUSTICS, first recognized in the US with the revolutionary V-DOSC line source array system (and used for the 1994 Billboard Awards Show, the 1995 Grammy Awards Show, Oscars and MTV Awards). As L-ACOUSTICS US expanded dramatically, the 2,000th V-DOSC was sold in June in 2004. L-ACOUSTICS boasts a superior sound quality and a better return on investment and fosters the continued promotion of the V-DOSC and dV-DOSC owner’s networks.

CBC Takes On Tascam Line

June 1st, 2008

tascammakeithappen.gif

For more than 30 years, TASCAM has developed products for every segment of the sound and music industry. From the high-end audio professional in a major post-production studio to the novice or hobbyist at home, TASCAM is everywhere. We are a company committed to providing our customers audio/video solutions that enable breakthroughs by using sound in ways that are as exciting as they are accessible. In short, we provide tools that let people translate their creativity into reality.

After virtually creating the home recording scene during the early 1970s, TASCAM went on to achieve recognition for pioneering products in the professional recording arena as well. Our legacy of product development and innovation is reflected in the sheer number of industry firsts we’ve achieved, including:

  • the first 1/2-inch, 4-track cassette recorder
  • the first 8-track, reel-to-reel/mixer combo
  • the first R-DAT recorder
  • the first MiniDisc digital multitracker and CD scratcher

As evidenced by the awards and professional recognition we’ve received, TASCAM products are clearly in a class by themselves. Our MMR-8 digital audio dubber for the motion picture industry won an Oscar® at the Scientific and Technical Academy Awards in 2001 - based largely on its contribution to the Dolby Surround EX final mix for “The Lord of the Rings.” TASCAM also won Emmy Awards in 1995 (for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development for the TASCAM DA-88 Digital Multitrack Recorder) and 2000 (for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development for the MMR-8 and MMP-16).

Company History
TASCAM is one of four divisions of TEAC Corporation, a $1.2 billion manufacturing company headquartered in Japan. Since its founding in 1953, other divisions of TEAC have evolved into high-tech leaders in data storage devices, consumer electronics tools and industrial products, but TASCAM has remained dedicated to making innovative products for capturing creativity in the field of music and audio.

During the formative years in the early ’70s, the music scene was flourishing. Musicians who wanted to showcase their talents and abilities to the recording industry needed a cost effective means to record their music. However, most musicians could afford neither the expense of recording in a professional recording studio nor the asking price of professional recording equipment. Realizing the dilemma facing these musicians, TASCAM adopted a philosophy of manufacturing recording equipment that offered the uncompromising quality and durability of professional studio equipment while remaining affordable to the masses.

Looking Forward
As TASCAM enters its fourth decade in the music industry, we plan to make our future closely mirror our history. It’s about dedication. We will continue our commitment to provide our long time customers with the technology they need to Make It Happen, and we will seek to build trust with new loyal followers, too. Our collective ear will be kept to the ground so we can discover what musicians and industry professionals need - and then we’ll bring it to them. That’s the TASCAM way.

Ashly NE-Series Amplifiers

April 27th, 2008

productfeature.jpg

Ashly launches the new Ethernet capable NE-Series with multi-channel amplifiers. Targeted for the performance installation and 25V/70V/100V constant voltage markets, these amplifiers add a new level of power and control from the simplest to most advanced audio system applications. The models include both four and eight channel low impedance, 25V, 70V and 100V amplifiers. All amplifiers come equipped to run with Ashly’s control software which operates using standard Ethernet protocol. Power at four ohms 25V, 70V and 100V is 250W. Input options include Euroblock (standard) and DSP. Cobranet, and AES/EBU modules will be available as future options

Four and eight channel amplifier models are initially offered two ways; standard input with euroblock connectors and “pe” (Protea enabled) with euroblock input connectors and world renowned Protea DSP signal processing. (CobraNet and AES available Q3.)

The DSP library is extensive and utilizes a SHARC 32-bit/96kHz processor. Processing blocks include Graphic, Parametric, Notch and Shelving Equalization, High-, Low- and All-Pass Filters (HPF/LPF/APF) with up to 48dB/Octave slopes, Delay, Compressor/Limiter, Gate, Ducking, Gain and Signal Generators (sinewave, white and pink noise).

Additionally, each amplifier also provides DC voltage control of the calibrated Input attenuators, which makes it a snap to control volume from remote locations, and Remote Power Turn-on/-off with sequential power on/off circuitry built right into the amplifier. LED indicators for power, standby, protect, bridge mono, parallel mono, network communications and each channel has a four-step signal meter, temperature and current indicators.

Mongoose Helps CobraNet Work Smarter

April 25th, 2008

monfp.gif

CobraNet revolutionized the distribution of audio in large-scale venues. However, if you’ve used CobraNet, you’ve run into a couple of “gotcha’s”. Since CobraNet is based on multiple virtual bundles of 8 audio channels, it is generally too expensive to use in transporting small numbers of audio channels. Rane’s new Mongoose and RAD remotes solve these problems (along with a few others) by converting audio to or from digital at the wall plate and transporting it over CAT 5 cables. It allows you to route these remotes to or from CobraNet and aggregate audio channels for full bundle utilization. Mongoose provides significant reductions in cost, labor and set up:

  • CAT 5 cable instead of more expensive mic cables.
  • Automatic self-testing of cables and remotes.
  • Eliminates EMI and ground loops.
  • Allows hot-swapping of RAD remote wall plates.
  • Crimp-on RJ-45 connectors rather than soldering XLRs.

Mongoose’s 32-by-32 matrix router receives 16 audio channels from eight RADs via eight 8P8C (RJ-45) RAD ports. The second group of 16 input channels comes from two eight-channel CobraNet receive Bundles via CobraNet Primary and Secondary/backup ports. The 32 matrix router outputs 16 channels to eight RADs and 16 more channels to two CobraNet transmit Bundles.

RADs convert analog audio to and from 24-bit, 48 kHz digital audio and mount in standard US electrical gang boxes. CAT 5 cable transport four channels – two in each direction – along with power, ground and a communications channel via Rane’s proprietary RAD Network.

The Ethernet port provides direct or network connection to a computer running the included Mongoose Tracker setup software. It supports Auto MDI/MDIX, which detects and permits either an Ethernet crossover cable (included) or a standard Ethernet cable when directly connecting to a computer for setup.

Mongoose and RAD remotes are scheduled to ship May 2008.
