E Series. Simple economics, brilliant IDEEA™
In designing the new E Series, Lab.gruppen engineers drew upon the cutting-edge amplifier design philosophies developed for the flagship PLM™ 20000Q Powered Loudspeaker Management system, evolving these to create new circuit topologies and control features to meet the demands of 21st century AV installations. The result is a new amplifier platform called IDEEA: IntelliDrive Energy Efficient Amplifier. The principal design challenge was maintaining Lab.gruppen’s impeccable sonic performance and robust power output while meeting – or exceeding – the rigorous efficiency requirements of Energy Star 2.1 certification. The challenge was met on two fronts: reducing current draw during operating cycles with vigorous program material and high output levels, and reducing power consumption during non-operational cycles.
New power supply and output stage
For peak operating efficiency, the E Series incorporates a new high-headroom universal power supply accepting any mains voltage from 70 to 265 V at 50 or 60 Hz. A higher storage capacity in the power supply prevents excessive draw on the mains inlet during repeated peak bursts, maintaining extra headroom on the supply rails for sustained maximum output with minimal distortion. The Class D output stage is highly efficient (above 90%), while the inherently bridged topology allows up to twice the rated power output on one channel when the other channel is unused or driving a low power application. RSL™: Mix, match and balance loads The new Rail Sensing Limiter (RSL) is the latest refinement of Lab.gruppen’s proprietary approach to optimizing amplifier output characteristics to match the connected load. Each channel has a two-position switch that sets the output for driving either low impedance or high impedance (70 V) loudspeaker systems, with a +4 dBu sensitivity regardless of load type. RSL works in conjunction with the high headroom power supply and inherently bridged output stage to allow asymmetric loading. Power resources in the amplifier can be utilized to maximum advantage, with one channel producing far beyond its rated output when the other channel has lesser power requirements.

Meet HAL - an expert in room combining, paging and distributed audio systems. This groundbreaking architecture is dimensions beyond any other solution.
HAL easily guides even novice users through what used to be complex tasks in just minutes. No intricate matrix mixing or presets are required for room combining and paging. No wiring required to distribute pages and background music to multiple zones.
Seamlessly interface HAL to your application with a broad variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes, Remote Audio Devices (RADs), portable and in-rack auto mixers, bus Expansion devices, and an advanced Paging Station.
In addition, the HAL1 and Halogen software check the status, location, CAT 5 wiring integrity, and that audio is flowing in all peripheral devices, so you know your system is properly connected and ready to go.
HAL with Halogen software is more than just another DSP drag-and-drop system. It will revolutionize the way you design and install systems. HAL is fully compatible and easily integrated with existing Rane products like gain-sharing auto mixers and Rane’s almost endless variety of RADs.
Rane’s new Halogen 1.1 software adds Ethernet control support for third-party control systems. Standard TCP/IP set and get ASCII text messages control levels, selectors, presets and toggle actions within Halogen. Since the same Halogen software code runs on both Windows™ and within HAL hardware, third-party control developers can test all their code using only the Halogen Windows software. Use only software to test your control systems software code and buy the hardware only when the install date arrives. Well-documented example programs for AMX, Crestron and Stardraw Control ease programming headaches.

Innovative DJ Case Adds New Level of Versatility with Self Contained Rotational Arm.

Gator’s popular line of G-TOUR DJ road cases takes the worry out of transporting all your valuable DJ equipment. With the addition of the new (patent-pending) G-TOUR DJ Arm cases, Gator has really stepped up their game in providing a versatile, all-in-one mobile solution.
On the exterior, a traditional road style case provides heavy duty protection with sleek hardware and heavy duty twist latches. Inside, a thick EVA padding securely holds your DJ equipment with a removable front panel allowing full use while in the case. The unique fully rotational internal arm allows secure mounting of laptops, tablets, or even LCD screens with VESA mount. This case innovation adds a new level of flexibility for the mobile entertainer. Easily cue up laptop based software, touch based tablet apps, or even incorporate video tracks on the fly. The fully rotational arm lets you decide your ideal setup and with a simple push can quickly be moved aside when it’s time to get back to mixing.
The G-TOUR DJ Arm cases will be available from your authorized Gator dealer early spring 2012. Models available to fit Pioneer DDJ-T1 & S1, Numark Mixdeck, NS6, & NS7, Native Instruments S4, & American Audio VMS4 DJ Controllers; Xone 4D Mixer, as well as a coffin style case for (2) DJ CD players and 10 or 12” Mixer. All G-TOUR DJ models are offered in the standard black with aluminum hardware or the all new Platinum models with slate grey panels and all black hardware. Separate ‘Arms’ will be available soon as a stand-alone unit or as an add-on for a dual setup in a single case.
