The D5 Live EX package provides a versatile and cost effective package solution, with a choice of 56 or 112 mic/line inputs on stage and up to a full 128 channel console worksurface.
The 56 EX system comprises the console worksurface plus flightcase, a 40 analogue I/O and 16 AES EBU I/O local DiGiRack, a 56-in, 8-out stage DiGiRack and a 150m drum of fibre optic cable.

The 112 EX version adds a second, 56-in, 8-out stage Digirack and a 2 metre
fibre optic connection between the two stage Digiracks. It includes the digital effects card which allows you to run up to six digital effects per channel simultaneously, including dedicated reverb algorithms, flanging, phasing, double tracking, vocoder, delays, dynamics, compression and equalisation for up to 7.1 surround sound outputs.

It also includes the Insertable Processing Channels (IPCs) which provide a total of 32 IPCs, each complete with 6 bands of fully parametric equalisation, a fully featured compressor / limiter and digital delay of up to 240 milliseconds.

All routing, patching, effects parameter adjustments and user memory store and recall functions are performed on the touchscreens. All effects and their settings can be stored as part of the console's snapshots and sessions, and can be saved on the USB key for instant recall on another D5 Live.

The MiNi-DiGiRack was designed to give even more flexibility to the D1 and D5 live systems. The unit itself is just 4u high and 19 inch rack mount. It houses two power supplies with separate mains connectors and switches. The MiNi-DiGiRack can be fitted with a Standard MADI pod or even an Optical MADI pod. There is a newly designed back plane that allows any slot to be either input or output for analogue connections, or both in and out for digital connections, such as AES/EBU.

The World's First Integrated Digital Tube Mic Preamp

Valve/tube technology has long been considered an elegant means of reproducing music. Until now, the large dimensions of the traditional 19-inch rack mount valve/tube pre amps have been a consideration, especially in the touring market where space is often at a premium. Not to say tubes sound better but they do colour the sound of a vocal or a particular instrument and make it sound different. Typically, sound engineers like to experiment, so they insert them into their systems to provide characteristics they can’t otherwise get from either analogue or digital mixing consoles. The new DiGiCo D-TuBe presents a unique alternative to this traditional technology by making it part of a digital console.

The D-TuBe was developed in conjunction with TL Audio and supplies no less than eight channels of tube pre amp. It has been designed to fit neatly into existing DiGiCo systems by simply replacing the last input module on a stage rack and moving the output module along one. This keeps the full compliment of 56 inputs to the stage rack, with the last eight inputs now being TuBes.

As the D-TuBe is able to slot into the Stage DiGiRACK, it has the shortest cable length between the mic and pre amp possible, giving exceptional signal to noise ratio. It has the same facilities as its solid state counterpart, including analogue and digital gain controls with Gain Tracking™ (patent pending). As the analogue gain is inserted before the D-TuBe it also acts as a drive control, and with digital gain after the D-TuBe a wide variation of colouration (DiGistortion™). And, as is standard on all DiGiCo products, these settings can be saved as part of the consoles snapshots and sessions.

“The D-TuBe isn’t a software version of a valve/tube amp,” says James Gordon (Sales Director). “Because of the way these products work, we felt that the only genuine way to do this was the traditional way. The D-TuBe has all the interaction with the console that the standard mic input card has, but with four dual tubes. What more could you want?”

"WOW!"

The fun starts here. This year's new guitar lineup celebrates craftsmanship and tone like never before. The highlights include even more wood choices, the addition of the Expression System on all "CE" models 300 Series and up, a new Grand Auditorium 12-string across almost every series, breathtaking finish options, plus an artful inlay update on the 800 Series.

In the Taylor 700 Series, backs and sides of solid Indian rosewood find their perfect complement in rosewood binding, Hawaiian koa rosette, small pearl dots, and gold Taylor tuners. Rosewood’s deep, rich tone meets its ideal counterpart in the spruce top, also available in a magnificent Tobacco Sunburst finish. Simple. Elegant. Classic.

"Rock & The Rabbi Goes Digital!"

When the touring v

When the touring version of the "Rock and the Rabbi" debuts its newest stage spectacle in Tulsa, Oklahoma, they will bring with them an all new state of the art audio system.  The DiGiCO D1 Live 48DP is the technical heart of this system.  With the DiGiCO D1's ability to travel from venue to venue and interface effortlessly with any production environment it may encounter makes it the definitive choice for the Rock! The DiGiCO D1 Live 48DP is specifically designed to handle all processing and monitoring functions. Additionally, AVIOM is currently in development of a processing card for the new monitoring system. Wireless DPA 4066/4088's will be used extensively throughout the technically revamped "Rock and the Rabbi."  Six of these units will be utilized on the principal performers.  Says ASR's Director of Touring and Corporate Events, Kenny Holton, "This show has always been a very difficult act to recreate on a one off scenario, but with the D1 it will be a real breeze to put the show up and running before the production team builds the scenic elements!"

Since its inception seven years ago, "The Rock and the Rabbi" has held a special place in the hearts of those at ASR ProEvents.  We look forward with great anticipation to an enduring relationship with the new touring road show.

"Midas Siena Series!"

Siena brings all of Midas’ knowledge and experience in building dual-purpose consoles, such as the industry-leading Heritage 3000 and the now-legendary XL3, and offers all of these benefits in a compact package. Siena has been designed to both compliment and expand the ground-breaking Verona concept. Built on the highly successful, proven Verona platform, the Siena represents a combination of superb audio performance, and increased functionality, creating a new, class-leading, dual-purpose console.

Siena is more than a Verona with extra auxes. The buss structure has been redesigned to be more appropriate for monitor use. Sophisticated engineering solutions have been employed, such as the advanced Solo Tracking System, switched inserts on outputs, and a powerful logic controlled solo system.

Siena has a comprehensive control surface, however, it still maintains the familiar ergonomic layout of all Midas consoles, making navigation around the control surface quick, easy and intuitive.

Siena will appeal to the discerning audio professional, be they working in Concert sound, Theatre, Broadcast, House-of-worship or Audio-Visual, and at either end of the multicore.

"ASR's Super Bowl!"

This makes the "9th" consecutive Super Bowl celebrations that ASR has been involved with, and this one is special because it's Kenny Holton's hometown!

" I Love Jacksonville" exclaims Kenny!  That town has such a magical vibe, and it's about time that the "city beautiful" gets the recognition that it truly deserves!  "One day, ASR is  going to open an office up there, But the time is not quite right" says Holton.

ASR is basically moving half of the Orlando inventory to furnish our production services to our existing clientele, and will be ready for the "Oh By The Ways!"

"Baby Barney!"

A Step Above The Ordinary
Midas Verona Series

First off, A very special thanks to Dan Shawgo SE Sales Representative for EV/MIDAS. Seems that Dan gets no respect sometimes, especially from the "tire kicking douchbags" in our industry, And you "ALL" know who you ARE!

We put "Baby Barney" to work right out of the crate, and was really amazed on just how great this little guy sounds! 

FINALLY!, The industry has needed a console in this price platform, that allows SR companies to offer they're "price conscious clients" an affordable alternative, but still have the same quality, that the higher end console market offers!

THANKS DAN!

".... And Smaller, & Smaller!"

Type 4066-F
Adjustable Miniature Microphone Headband

The 4066 is a flexible miniature microphone solution, that features very easy and fast adjustment possibilities. The headband construction is unique in design, because it gives the user the choice between left and/or right mounting and color change. It is also possible to use the MMB4066 Miniature Microphone Boom separately, in applications where the headband is not needed.

The 4066 offers a clean and transparent sound quality with lots of headroom. It is specially designed for maximum performance and comfort under the often difficult conditions when mounted directly on the human body.

Attention has been paid to the humidity problems that often occur in theatrical applications A double vent protection system, a drop stopper on the microphone boom, together with water resistant materials inside the microphone, makes it more than difficult for the humidity to cause the headband Microphone to fail. The headband surface is matgold plated and headband ear hooks are covered with a silicon hose.

The sensitivity is 6mV/Pa to match the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. If powered correctly the microphone will be able to handle sound pressure levels up to 144dB SPL before clipping occurs.

A wide range of connection adapters makes it possible to use the 4066 with most of the professional wireless systems available plus 48 V phantom XLR connection.

This is the chosen headband for theaters on Broadway and West End.

"The World is Getting Smaller & Smaller"

SRX712M - 12" two-way stage monitor

ASR ProSound Recently was the first in the area to acquire 10 JBL SRX712M's, just in time to take them out on some shows for Frank Sinatra Jr.  For "Years" we had been "beat to death" for a very tiny low-profile wedge.. and other than EAW's little guy, we were constantly looking for that elusive "little Critter" that we knew had to be out there!

(Well, we all know the moral of that story!)

Well it was a bright sunny (non tornado) day when Larry "Bosco" Boscarino,  JBL Southeast Manufactures Rep, walked in my office and said... "Have I got the Box for ASR, and it only weighs 33 lbs!"  After threatening to throw his ass out, he showed me the "preliminary spec sheet. and we ordered them "sight unheard!" We've even taken them out, and put them up on "sticks", and use them for some Breakout Rooms, on some corporate dates.

The SRX712M was designed with one goal - build the lightest, smallest, loudest, clearest stage monitor possible while delivering a strikingly professional appearance. The SRX712M uses a 12" Differential Drive® woofer and a 3" (voice coil diameter) compression driver that handles 800 watts (continuous) power in a 12" high profile. A 90° x 50° horn provides smooth, even coverage regardless of the position of the performer.

For utility speaker applications, the SRX712M can be tripod mounted or over a subwoofer with JBL's dual angle pole mount providing 90° vertical or 10° down tilt for optimum audience coverage.

System Type: 12", two-way, bass-reflex, stage monitor/utility
Frequency Range (-10 dB): 70 Hz - 20kHz
Frequency Response (±3 dB): 83 Hz - 18 kHz
Coverage Pattern: 90º x 50º nominal
Power Rating (Continuous/Program/Peak): 800 W / 1600 W / 3200 W
Dimensions (H x W x D): 349 mm x 546 mm x 260 mm
(13.75 in. x 21.5 in x 10.25 in)
Net Weight: 15 kg (33 lbs.)

"This one goes to 111!"

 

Attitude, stunning good looks and an incredible "350 Watts" of brutal yet toneful power set the MODE FOUR apart from all other amps. Add to this an arsenal of great sounds, a slew of professional features plus groundbreaking, state-of-the-art hybrid technology and you have a Marshall like no other.

The first ever Marshall, the legendary JTM45, was born in 1962 as a result of the Guv'nor, Jim Marshall, listening to what guitar players wanted. Forty years later, the song remains the same and that's how the MODE FOUR came to be. Modern guitarists told us they wanted an amp capable of more gain, more low-end and more headroom than ever before . . . plus great cleans and, of course, the crunch tones that have made Marshall a legend! We listened and reacted - the result is the MODE FOUR.

 
Dual Amplifier with Four Modes
A great many amplifiers have claimed to offer both classic and modern tones but, in truth, have fallen well short of the mark. The Mode Four boasts a true 'Two Amplifiers in One' design. Not only do AMP 1 and AMP 2 have totally separate valve pre-amplifier circuits, including an ECC83 valve each, but the MODE FOUR also completely reconfigures its power amplifier section depending on the AMP type selected.

The MODE FOUR's flexibility is further enhanced by each of the two AMP types having two footswitchable modes. AMP1 offers Clean and Crunch modes, while AMP2 has OD1 and OD2.
 

	The MF280 (280W) and MF400 (400W) cabinets are specially engineered to reproduce the balanced mid range and huge bottom end that are a pre-requisite for extreme hard rock and nu-metal sounds, these cabinets feature:   - Sonically optimized Celestion loudspeaker designs - Pro-gauge internal wiring - Increased internal volume - Metal logo and piping In keeping with all legendary Marshall cabinets the MF 4x12" cabinets are not only ready for the sonic demands of a high performance head like the MF350, but also the extreme physical abuse they may receive on the road. We recommend the MF280A (angled) and B (base) for full stack operation and the MF400A or B for half stack operation.
Full Stack versus Half Stack The MODE FOUR cabinets can be used either as a full stack (two cabinets) or half stack (one cabinet) configuration. The rig you choose is a matter of personal taste and as always when it comes to sound we recommend you try both to see which suits your style best. Below is a guide to the major attributes of each:     Full Stack: Enhanced on stage spread. More 'cut through' due to accentuated treble and high mids. Iconic stage presence. Half Stack: More controllable spread of sound on stage (especially base type) Convenient and portable.   Half Stack Options Whether you choose an angled or base half stack configuration is a personal choice between the different tonal qualities of each set up. The MF400A (angled) is, in keeping with other angled 4x12" cabinets, tonally more aggressive than the base option. The angled cabinet is the usual choice for those who want a more prominent upper mid and treble response that really cuts through in a live situation. Alternatively, the MF400B (base) delivers a more even mid range with less spread of the aggressive treble response. Marshall 4x12" base cabinets are more often used by professionals as they have a more focused bottom end and a smoother mid range and treble response. They are often easier to deal with in terms of sound reinforcement and monitoring in a live situation.

The Rock & The Rabbi!

The Rock & The Rabbi is the new musical based on the life of Peter the fisherman and Jesus of Nazareth. A contemporary treatment of the Biblical story, The Rock & The Rabbi is a combination of storytelling and acoustic music. Intimate and emotional, funny and thrilling, the show tells the classic tale of friendship and betrayal, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Storytelling is at the heart of this theatrical production. All of the reality of the historical account is presented through the power of the spoken word and the music that it inspires. The Storyteller recounts his adventures with The Rabbi-- from fishing on the Sea of Galilee to the agony of the Cross-- to the Miracle of the ages. The music (which features acoustic guitars, Irish and African drums, accordion and bagpipes) is some of the most powerful and memorable in theatre today.

Based on the friendship between Peter & Jesus. A creative mix of storytelling and unplugged, acoustic music, The Rock & The Rabbi is musical theatre at its most joyous. Click on the links below to learn more about the show the St. Petersburg Times calls, "Heavenly!"

 As "Smooth" as it Gets!

ASR ProSound in conjunction with Quest Marketing and EAW recently completed a Tour with Dave Koz Smooth Jazz Christmas.  FOH Michael Fagrey, aka "The Great White Glover!" was just taken back by the fidelity of the System.  We manage to take the rig into some Venues that are very known for being really hard on the engineers, states ASR Owner Kenny Holton.  All passed with flying colors and by the crowd response after the show, it seems that this is going to be a hit with everyone!

Engineered to solve the problems of real-world line array applications, the KF760 Series maximizes the benefits of line array use while simultaneously improving upon the shortcomings of existing line array products. By utilizing and borrowing from some of the best EAW technology, this integrated line array is easier to design with, provides better sonic performance, supports smoother cluster-to-cluster array ability, flies faster and packs more efficiently than existing line array systems.

A Very Special Thank's to EAW's Todd Foster & Vic Palmer-QUEST Marketing for bringing this jewel to our attention!

The King Lives!

The new Millennium started out with definitely a cosmic bang!, ASR ProSound recently completed "Back to Back" Tours with British Pop Sensation DURAN DURAN & ELVIS THE CONCERT. 

 It was just like the King was there states ASR's Kenny Holton, the only thing we were missing was "The Memphis Mafia" & "Fried Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich"

The Concert is an astounding production that reunites former Elvis band mates live on stage with a state of the art video-projected Elvis, continues its historic and critically acclaimed world tour. This is, in effect, Elvis' first-ever world concert tour, which began in America in 1998. In his lifetime Elvis' only concerts outside the United States were five shows in three Canadian cities in 1957. A world tour was an unrequited dream for Elvis and for his international fans. More than twenty years after the superstar's death, the dream has come true. 

  Hat's off to The Stig Edgren Group for producing what is possibly the best show you will ever see!

One day the spring started trickling up from the ground, and formed a small puddle of clear, cool water...the water flowed, and flowed, and soon the river spread across the ground, winding its way down to the sea. Like that spring, Music of the Rivers started from a small gathering of people, coming together for music and for support of a worthwhile cause -- to save the beautiful Ichetucknee River in northern Florida. Now Music of the Rivers has become a worldwide series of Celtic gatherings, to bring the bands together with the people, for the sharing of music, companionship, and concern about the rivers and the earth.

POST SHOW UPDATE:

In my 12 years of being in this business I have never met such a giving soul as Casey Laydon and his family.  For someone to give up everything they owned to make such an event transpire without monetary gains is beyond my imagination.  I was truly honored to spend 4 Days with him and his family, and I know that they will triumph again! ....

We will keep you posted on the feedback we get back from the shows!

YAMAHA O2R V2

Today ASR ProSound added yet another state of the art console to it's growing arsenal of high end professional mixing consoles.  As usual we have sent it on a series of shows as a FOH/Monitor Desk for smaller industrial events.  We have needed an addition to our Digital Console Inventory state's Kenny  Holton, owner of ASR.  We look forward to utilizing this in place of our YAMAHA 4K's.  We will do about a week of in house product training, then put it straight to work!  It has been fully tricked out to be utilized as a SR console, as well as a digital workstation for our inventory of tape machines. We are also designing a new Drive/Processing rack to accompany the O2, which will include a LEXICON 300L, BSS Soundweb and KT Digital EQ's.

ASR GOES MIDAS!

Today ASR ProSound took delivery of a 48 channel MIDAS HERITAGE 3000.  We no more had it out of the box when it was booked for a private date with BON JOVI/VH1 Storytellers in Jacksonville Florida.  Rocky Holman / Bon Jovi's  production manager states that there is no other console in the world like a MIDAS!

Hard Rock Theft Update!

If you remember back in March of this year we had a Hammond XB-2 Keyboard stolen from Hard Rock Live Orlando.  Well as fate would have it, the Thief not only is caught on Video Surveillance, as shown below.. as the FOH engineer for a local band that was playing there that night, but turns out to be a now "former" Universal Studios Tech Supervisor name Jonathon Lee "aka" Jon Lee of Haines City Florida.

The stolen items were recovered at the residence of one Mr. Jon Lee, 1907 Berano Drive, Haines City Florida 33844  and he subsequently lost his job with Universal Studios.  Kudos to the Hard Rock Live Orlando, Orlando PD & USF Investigations Teams! 

If the name Jon Lee seems familiar to you,  Mr. Jon Lee was formerly employed by Keyboard Specialties of St. Petersburg, as well as Armadillo Products of Tampa.

The Florida State Attorneys office is on the Job, and we expect nothing but the finest for our Mr. Jon Lee really soon.

We will keep you updated!

JON LEE UPDATE

Well it would seem that Mr. Jon Lee has been doing some work for an unknown production company in the Tampa area.  We only hope they have better luck with his habits of wanting other peoples property.
