L-Acoustics Launches KUDO

L-Acoustics' KUDO is a new generation of line source array offering far more flexibility and possibilities than any other line array to date. KUDO marks a significant evolution in L-Acoustics' Wavefront Sculpture Technology (WST) since WST can now be performed in both vertical and horizontal planes.

Two patented DOSC waveguides are incorporated in KUDO, allowing WST to be performed either vertically or horizontally. In parallel, coverage pattern adjustment is available in the perpendicular plane using patent-pending K-Louver technology. Mechanically adjustable K-Louvers provide directivity control for the mid/high section and allow KUDO to be reconfigured with four different coverage pattern settings. Click here for more...

Drums Designed with the Church in Mind

In churches today, there is an ongoing need to control the volume of an acoustic drum kit, which in turn necessitates an electronic set to be considered. One of the main concerns of most drummers was the ability to obtain a "real feel" out of electronic drums, as many utilize a mesh or rubber playing surface. In an attempt to satisfy the drummer and the sound engineer, R.E.T. Percussion first created the Natural Series custom shop electronic drum kits in 2000. This second generation, called The Natural Series 2 (NS2), is designed for all types of worship music and gives drummers the look and feel they have always wanted, while giving the sound engineer control over the volume of the drums.

Using real drumheads with a 13in. playing surface, the R.E.T. NS2 triggering system truly gives the same feel as an acoustic kit, but with the sounds and benefits of an electronic kit. R.E.T. uses a unique muffling system that cuts stick noise levels by 60 decibels and gives the drummer more natural dynamics and stick bounce. R.E.T.'s NS2 technology takes full advantage of the latest modules with dual tom triggering and locking Neutrik connectors for the best connection in the industry. Click here for more...
