New loudspeakers and digital mixing system revealed in Amsterdam
TOA has launched the D-2000 series all-in-one digital mixing system and Type C line array at ISE 2010.
The D-2000 system combines the functions of auto mixing, matrix switching, and signal processing. Its table-mounted remote console unit boasts a small footprint and the system can be expanded to comprise up to four rack processing units for a total of up to 128 audio inputs and outputs. CobraNet compatibility means the processing modules can be connected to a LAN for remote operation. The D-2000 also provides interfaces directly with AMX and Crestron control protocols so that it can be smoothly integrated into multimedia conferencing and presentation systems.
Brett Downing, sales and marketing director at TOA Europe said: “The D-2000 is unique and it directly reflects our investment in delivering systems to users who increasingly want to use sophisticated audio matrixing and processing for smaller venues with single or multiple rooms, such as municipal and corporate conference facilities, hotels and fitness clubs. We’ve got a real winner with the D-2000.”
The second of TOA’s unveilings, the Type C line array is based on the firm’s phase wavefront control technology for audio clarity and uniform sound dispersion. The Type C offers a choice of 15-degree and five-degree vertical dispersion angle modules, together with a 15-inch subwoofer enclosure for low-end reinforcement. All three boxes are also available as IPX4-rated splash-proof enclosures. Both mid-high modules use TOA’s proprietary Sync-Drive waveguide design, and can be run in a choice of single or bi-amplified modes, depending on the application requirement.
Downing added: “The Type C is ideal for listening areas, adjustable sound coverage including the ability to connect a number of speakers and combining with a different dispersion angle. They also produce clear sound that is resistant to feedback. They are ideal for a vast range of environments that require voice and music reproduction, such as performing arts venues, lecture theatres, airports, sports halls and many more installations.”

Such an ugly box, are they serious? Rigging proud of each end..in out industry if something looks like it can be snapped off - it will be! Com'on TOA designers, surely you can do better than this, and its a bit ,late to bring in a small line array-- a lot of catch up to be done!
