Other acquisitions have been the inclusion of Vertec VT4887 enclosures; these are the baby brother of our VT4888 system. We are able to use the VT 4887 as a stand alone PA, perfect for pubs and clubs as well as an under hang to the VT4888. Each enclosure contains 2 x 8”low drivers 4 x 4” mid drivers and 2 x 1 “ horn drivers.
We have also acquired a new XTA 448 speaker management processor witch will compliment the XTA 224’s we already have in hire stock, and a number of Radial DI boxes. The Radial JDI is considered by many to be the world’s finest direct box. It is a passive DI that employs a Jensen isolation transformer for optimum audio performance offering outstanding linearity at all frequencies, combined with extraordinary level handling without introducing distortion. Being completely passive, the plug, & play JDI does not require any powering and has the unique advantage of eliminating 60-cycle ground loops. This makes the JDI a definite favourite with informed audio engineers. The JDI is great for guitars, bass, and keyboards and is particularly adept with high-output, broadband instruments such as active instruments and digital keyboards. We also stock the Radial J48 active DI.
