LAKEWOOD, NJ – MAY 28, 2008 – Neutrik, designer and manufacturer of the XX series XLR cable connector, recently donated a variety of its best-selling connectivity products to Brookfield Academy student, Joey Steven, to help him create a new portable tech booth for the Academy’s theater. The theater’s tech booth project consists of a sound board and light board desk, a wireless microphone tower with belt pack recharging drawers, and a computer recording pod that was equipped with a custom built hydraulic monitor lift.
“Neutrik’s donation gives our theater the benefit of having a great mobile tech booth on-site to be used in the school’s theater and dance productions,” says Joey Steven, Eagle Scout candidate and Brookfield Academy Theater’s technical director. “The booth was created with many different segments, each built on casters that can be rolled in/out of the room and then connected, depending on what each performance requires. We needed something that could withstand the frequent changing of chords. Neutrik’s connectors immediately came to mind because of their durability, convenience and ease of use.” more

LAKEWOOD, NJ - FEBRUARY 27, 2008 - Neutrik‘s OpticalCon, a ruggedized and dirt protected fiber optic connector system, is incorporated into the design of Midas‘ XL8 Live Performance System, the UK manufacturer‘s flagship digital mixing console. The link between the console and the stage, with no discernable loss in frequency response, is a concern for most live performance sound engineers; Neutrik‘s OpticalCon system meets this need.
The Midas XL8 is one of the leading digital live audio mixing consoles for sound reinforcement applications, whether live, installed, theatre or broadcast. Each Midas XL8 console comes supplied with two 150m drums of Neutrik‘s multimode OpticalCon to create a fully redundant digital snake system.
“Midas has used Neutrik analogue XLR connectors for many years and found them to be rugged and reliable, which is why they were chosen for the XL8 live performance system,” says Alex Cooper, director of console development at Midas. “We also chose Neutrik‘s OpticalCon for our fiber interconnection because it is compatible with Neutrik’s standard XLR footprint, which allows us to standardize all our panels.”
Neutrik‘s OpticalCon, a complete fiber optic connector system, features an LC-compatible fitting that is housed within a roadworthy zinc diecast shell. It enables up to four copper wires to run power, analogue or data signals. The optical connection is protected from dust and dirt through automatic sealing covers and gaskets, which are operated automatically during mating or unmating. Connectors can be supplied with two types of multimode cable (suitable for multichannel audio) or three types of single mode cable (including a special ‘SMPTE-version’ with an additional ground-shell contact for broadcast applications). In addition, colored labeling plates are included to identify the fiber mode.
Neutrik‘s EtherCon and PowerCon products were also incorporated into the design of Midas‘ XL8 console. The EtherCon® Series is a ruggedized and lockable RJ45 connector system, optimized for pro audio, video and lighting network applications. Neutrik PowerCon® is a lockable, extremely robust and reliable 3-pole equipment (AC) connector with high current capacity.
“When we were developing the XL8, we opted to use Neutrik‘s EtherCon to achieve the same levels of reliability and ruggedness for digital Cat5 and Cat6 interconnections,” continues Cooper. “The locking capabilities (which are standard on XLRs but unusual in power connectors) and universal acceptance within the touring business attracted us to Neutrik‘s PowerCon for the main inlets on the control surface.”
Midas live performance mixing consoles have been used by the world’s most demanding sound engineers, performers and rental companies for three decades. Midas is owned by the Bosch Group, a leading global manufacturer of automotive and industrial technology, consumer goods, and building technology. Set up in Stuttgart in 1886 by Robert Bosch (1861-1942) as “Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering,” the Bosch Group today comprises a manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service network of some 300 subsidiaries and more than 13,000 Bosch service centers in over 140 countries.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, FEBRUARY 25, 2008 - Auralex Acoustics, Inc., the industry leader in innovative sound control solutions, keeps sound flowing at Nashville‘s Liquid Music Studio. A personal and commercial facility, founded in 2006 by former Digidesign Production Specialist Brett Clark, Liquid Music Studio specializes in audio and post-production projects.

Not only does the company‘s products stand up to its reputation, but the fabric choices enabled me to choose the treatments that best suited the décor I was going with for both the control room and the tracking room.”
