Renkus-Heinz IC Live Family
INFOCOMM 2010- Las Vegas

Renkus-Heinz- IC Live Ships to Rave Reviews, Low-Mid Module Unveiled

Renkus-Heinz had a very busy INFOCOMM this year. 

IC Live is now shipping!  Introduced last year, IC Live is the next generation in Digitally Steerable Line Array Technology, and designed in a robust, HIGH OUTPUT package.

IC Live represents a serious entry into the compact, high output Live and Corporate Staging and Rental markets.

The IC Live Mid-High Module consists of 5 x 6.5" high output cone woofers and 3 x 1" Neodymium HF compression drivers on purpose-designed waveguides. A multi-channel DSP and amplifier controls each transducer individually.  Complex signal processing shapes the arrays output and steers it in the desired direction.  Steering the sound and not the box, the enclosure remains vertical keeping sight lines open with a tall, narrow profile.

The IC Live has 10 on board presets that can be utilized for fast reconfiguration and an optional wall plate (IC-RC-1) can be utilized to control the IC Live in a permanent install application (IC Live is available in an installed version also).

ICL-ML-R Low-Mid Module and new 2 x 12" Sub Unveiled

The ICL-LM-R was designed to compliment full-range IC Live arrays in venues needing well controlled low-mid frequency directivity.  encompassing 7 x 6.5" low frequency neodymium transducers significantly improve low-mid frequency pattern control and performance below 800 Hz.

The new 2 x 12" Sub will also be a welcome addition and create yet a smaller but just as powerful compact package.

CF / CFX Point Array Makes Debut!!

Designed for power, portability and versatility, the CF/CFX101-LA from Renkus-Heinz is the ideal solution for today's small and mid-sized venues, including auditoria, night clubs, theaters and houses of worship. With the flexibility to be flown, ground-stacked or pole-mounted, the CF/CFX101-LA delivers the performance and pattern control of a line array, with the clarity of a point source system, in a compact, sleek and affordable design that's equally at home as a portable system or a permanent installation.

Up to four CF/CFX101-LA cabinets can be arrayed to provide a 90x60 degree coverage pattern
, delivering up to 9 dB more output and tighter vertical pattern control than a conventional single cabinet. Traditional line arrays require two or three times as many cabinets to provide the same range of coverage.

Alone or combined with the CF/CFX15S subwoofer, the CF/CFX101-LA can be flown, ground-stacked, or pole-mounted, or used as a center cluster to complement an existing left-right system, making it the perfect solution for a wide range of installed or portable sound needs.

New SurgeX iControl with GUI Screen
INFOCOMM 2010- Las Vegas

SurgeX Unveils New UPS, Updated iControl, Cranks Warranty to 11!!!

SurgeX had likely the busiest booth at INFOCOMM this year.  In addition to several new products that were introduced, SurgeX announced that they have upped the anti and extended their Warranty to 11 Years!

SurgeX rolled out the new SU 1000Li 1VA UPS.  For years, traditional SurgeX products have been placed in front of other manufacturers UPS'es.  Listening to the requests from the field, SurgeX has now developed their own which will be the first in a series of new UPS products.

The SU 100Li provides 4 minutes of battery back up at 600W full load, or 10 minutes at 300W at half load, 6 fully protected outlets with the full compliment of SurgeX surge elimination technology, 2 UPS outlets.

Incorporated into the SU 100Li is Sentry Plus Power Management and Diagnostic Software which will allow you to do numerous functions such as scheduled shut downs, start up, test the UPS and recepticles, set up notifications via email, view real time data meters including voltage, frequency, loading percentages, just to name a few.  Off the shelf industry standard batteries make it easy to purchase additional batteries and they can be hot swapped if needed.

One of the more clever design aspects of the SU 1000Li is the 10.5" depth which makes it Credenza friendly.  The SU 1000Li, like all products in the SurgeX line carries a 11 Year Warranty, the longest in the industry.

iControl Sets New Standards for Surge Elimination and Remote Monitoring

With the launch of iControl last fall, the market seemed to get what it had been asking from SurgeX after nearly 15 years of trouble free, zero failure installations.  The most requested feature was the ability to control units and monitor them via the web.  SurgeX has met and exceeded those requests with iControl.

The SX1115iP and SX1120iP both incorporate the full compliment of Surgex surge elimination, emi/rfi rejection while offering a full palate of remote monitoring, adjustable sequencing, numerous email notifications which are incident specific, temperature sensing, scheduling, etc.
