A strategic marketing firm working exclusively across the international space sector has been awarded a development grant from the UK Space Agency to establish a space hub on behalf of the Scottish Space Leadership Council (SSLC).

Edinburgh, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/23/2020 -- International space start-up AstroAgency will use the financial support to advance the SSLC into a formalised entity, with the ultimate aim of connecting and promoting Scotland's fast-growing space ecosystem nationally and internationally.

Established by industry experts, the space intelligence and marketing firm has grown to 12 staff in its first year, securing a long list of high profile and established global space clients and new entrants looking to transition into the sector.

UK Science Minister Amanda Solloway explained, "This funding will arm local leaders up and down the UK with the tools they need to put their local areas at the front of the commercial space race, while refuelling the tank of the UK economy". UK Government Minister for Scotland Iain Stewart added, "Today's funding announcement is another example of how the UK Government is securing the UK's position as a global leader in the space sector. The investment in Scottish projects will contribute to regional economic growth and support the development of the space industry across the country."

The SSLC was formed in 2016 as a voluntary, cross-sectoral representative organisation in response to the need for greater connection and collaboration within the Scottish and wider UK space community.

The Council has evolved a reputation for being an ambitious, results-driven organisation and now aims to formally act as a conduit for growth and gateway to a flourishing space sector.

Scottish Trade, Investment & Innovation Minister, Ivan McKee, said: "The SSLC, with strong support from the Scottish Government and its agencies, already plays an important role in the development of our growing space sector, most recently bringing together the developing spaceports across the UK to form the Spaceports Alliance. This funding will further enhance its work and support our ambitions for Scotland to become Europe's leading space nation.

"I welcome the UK Space Agency's recognition of the importance of a unified industry voice from Scotland and for my part, I will champion the views of our sector at all levels of government. The Scottish Government's aim is for Scotland to secure a £4 billion slice of the global space market by 2030, an ambitious but realistic target, and I look forward to continuing our close collaboration in order to further develop the sector and promote opportunities for our businesses."

AstroAgency founder and space entrepreneur, Daniel Smith, stated: "We look forward to outlining a strategy that ensures the SSLC remains at the forefront of industry developments.

"AstroAgency's strategic space marketing focus means that we don't simply raise awareness in space activity, but identify partnership and investment opportunities, provide regular market intelligence and connect partners directly into the NewSpace ecosystem.

"Our experienced international space team understands the opportunities that this innovative industry can deliver across every sector imaginable, not to mention the important role it has to play in boosting local economies and protecting our environment."

Chair of the Scottish Space Leadership Council John Innes commented, "The SSLC, working together with the AstroAgency team, look forward to establishing a formalised Scottish hub suited to connecting and promoting the country's vibrant space sector", while Linda Hannah, Interim CEO of Scottish Enterprise added, "The companies, organisations and support structures within the sector are on the same mission to create a thriving, world-leading and innovative hub that will drive an ambitious growth plan to create the jobs and tech solutions of the future too" adding that the award was "great news for the space sector".

Norcross, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/28/2020 -- B&D Industrial and Kyntronics today announced a strategic partnership regarding new technology used for actuation and motion control solutions. B&D, throughout 73-years, has seen the rise and fall of traditional electro-hydraulic and electro-mechanical actuation systems in the market. Kyntronics offers the technology to replace these antiquated designs with the help of B&D's motion control expertise.

Kyntronics core technology is based on the All-in-One, SMART Hydraulic Actuator (SHA) that replaces traditional hydraulic and mechanical actuators. The SHA system is sealed for orienting in any position in a small footprint devoid of components typical of conventional hydraulics: no hoses, no filters, no servo valves, no separate hydraulic power unit. The reductionist design reduces maintenance, yet provides the proven advantages of hydraulic technology like robust performance suitable for high impact loading and high duty cycles. The system provides precise control of position, force, and speed in applications requiring from 500 to more than 100,000 pounds of force capacity.

The opportunity to be working with a first-class automation technology provider in the high growth SE region like B&D is a tremendous boost for local manufacturers seeking new and innovative linear actuator solutions like the Kyntronics SHA all-in-one."

"B&D is all about emerging technology and the potential the technology offers B&D and our customers from several useful perspectives. The technology also has to come from a partner that has a similar culture and shared core values. Kyntronics is one of those partners, and we look forward to using the SHA in our solutions," said Carl Lee Tolbert, Vice President of Engineering for B&D Industrial.

Both B&D and Kyntronics invest in creative people and the best products, processes, and facilities, so we both can offer innovative products to help our customers with more precise and reliable operations.

Powersoft Quattrocanali 1204 brings reliable performance, energy-efficient operation and advanced functionality to landmark church

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/03/2020 -- Dedicated in 1951, the Basilica of Regina Pacis is one of two minor basilicas in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, New York, and serves as a spiritual hub for members the parish of St. Rosalia-Regina Pacis. Located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, the historic house-of-worship boasts all the hallmarks cathedral-style architecture — a long, narrow nave intersected at right angle by a narrow transept and lined with marble columns bearing a massive arched ceiling, which is decorated with ornate religious murals above and intricate stained glass windows in recessed alcoves above the columns on each side, all of which lead the viewers gaze to a raised semicircular apse beyond the transept.

While the basilica's awe-inspiring architecture, opulent interior and elaborate ornamentation have made it a destination for worshippers and a neighborhood landmark, reverberant spaces like the one in the Basilica of Regina Pacis pose a host of challenges for today's house-of-worship integrators. So, when it came time for Monte Bros. to upgrade to the sound system they previously installed in 2002, Monte Bros.' Steve Minozzi designed the latest system using three Powersoft Quattrocanali 1204 amplifier platforms to power all 12 independent zones, over more than 5,000 feet of cable.

"Acoustically, it's extremely difficult to design a sound system for a church like the Basilica of Regina Pacis," Minozzi said. "It's a long, rectangular space with a lot of hard surfaces, a concave ceiling, and a concave sanctuary. That breaks every acoustic rule in the book. But, we have to make the sound system work for the space, and it has to work automatically. So, when it comes to amplification in these kinds of basilicas, we need a heavy lifter. And the Powersoft Quattrocanali 1204 is a heavy lifter."

A longstanding relationship
The Quattrocanali amplifier platforms employed in latest Basilica of Regina Pacis system upgrade use Powersoft Smart Rails Management technology, which implements realtime voltage tracking in the power supply to minimize the differences between the output voltage and rails voltage, improving overall efficiency and reducing heat dissipation.

"In 2002, the amplifiers and DSP processors we installed were the top of the line — but that was almost 18 years ago," Minozzi said. "The Quattrocanali has more horsepower and a very low rate of failure. And that's No. 1 concern for a contractor: dependability.

"Heat dispersion is another problem in big installs like this, because they need a lot amplifiers," he continued. "That was a main reason we upgraded the system using the Quattrocanali 1204."

Building on Monte Bros. decades-long partnership with the Basilica of Regina Pacis — starting with a sound system installation in 1989, which they later updated to include DSP processors in 2002 — the most recent upgrade to the church's sound system includes two rows of custom-built speakers designed to blend in with the marble columns on each side of the nave.

"Inside the church, it's a beautiful space," Minozzi said. "And when you put in a new sound system, you obviously don't want to desecrate the appearance in any way. So, when the speaker installation was completed, we had custom grill cloths made to match the beautiful marble columns.

"30 years ago, if you took a powerful amplifier and connected it to speakers without first plugging it into a mixer to control the levels, you would fry the speakers," he explained. "They would go up in a puff of smoke!

"So, one of the other important features of the Powersoft Quattrocanali 1204 is that it senses changes in ohmage, because the amplifiers have to deal with changes due to capacitance and other anomalies. Since each bank of speakers is on its own Quattrocanali channel, if one speaker goes bad, the amp will automatically sense the change and readjust. That's why we chose Powersoft."

HealthPlus update streamlines real-time device monitoring and measurement for maximum performance

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/03/2020 -- Professional power amplifier manufacturer Powersoft [Booth 17701] has announced the latest update to their best-in-class audio system management software ArmoniaPlus. HealthPlus, which replaces the software's previous 'Events' tab, gives sound engineers a streamlined monitoring environment of all elements in a given sound system with improved communication, control and reporting to ensure even better performance than ever before.

The Italian innovator will use its final visit to the RAI in Amsterdam to look back on 25 years as one of the industry's true trailblazers

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/03/2020 -- With a quarter century of innovation to celebrate and a convention centre full of industry professionals in town, this year's ISE (11-14 February) has been chosen as the perfect event to mark a significant achievement for Italian audio and technology visionary, Powersoft.

Over the course of its history, Powersoft has been credited with a number of technological innovations and industry firsts. Just a year into its life, in 1996, the company had already mastered designing and developing the (then) first commercially viable Class-D amplifier, which was able to deliver consistently reliable, high power levels — something that hadn't been achieved until then. This technological breakthrough on switch mode amplification, also helped the company earn a coveted reputation on green power and efficiency, making it the company's trademark to this day.

In the intervening years, the company continued to push the envelope, always conscious of making the most consistent, efficient, and intuitive products imaginable. This resulted in a number of new products and technologies that have since become industry standards, such as the X Series workhorse and the Ottocanali Series, which boasted advanced signal processing and full Dante by Audinate compatibility, or breakaway innovations such as M-Force, Deva or Mover to name a few.

The show floor
Building on the successful launch of Mover at ISE 2019, this year Powersoft will use their pair of stands to showcase the capabilities of their latest products in real-life applications: Commercial and Conferencing

While the first stand (7-Y195) will demonstrate the company's line of renowned fixed install products – including Mover, Mezzo, the Duecanali, Quattrocanali and Ottocanali lines of FI amplifiers – the second stand (7-X205) will be an experiential zone split in two areas: Hospitality and Meeting Room.

The Hospitality Area will feature a sports bar with screens and beer on tap. All audio speakers will be powered by Mezzo, Powersoft's 2/4 channel highly compact, Class-D technology amplifier platform. Packing all the features of an advanced install dedicated amplifier in half the size, Mezzo was designed with ease of installation and operation in mind, and adapts to multiple uses and applications through flexible power routing.

Visitors will be able to pick audio from one of the three screens as the source to play in the entire Hospitality Area. In addition, they will have individual volume controls for the Sports Bar and the Stage Area via GPI controllers on the walls.

Next to the bar area, the Meeting Room will host another screen, which will also be powered by Mezzo. Visitors will be able to select the audio source from either the TV in the Conference Room or the audio played in the Hospitality Area, courtesy of the Mezzo set up. Additionally, they will have a GPI wall controller for the volume in that room.

Back on stand 7-Y195, visitors will be able to see the extensive range of FI amplifiers and get a hand on ArmoniaPlus' latest audio system management software update, which features the HealthPlus tab, a new feature which gives sound engineers a streamlined monitoring environment of all elements in a given sound system with improved communication, control and reporting to ensure the best performance.

This year's ISE will also see the return of Mover - the small yet incredibly powerful linear transducer that can be used in audio applications and, more excitingly, as a linear motor / shaker.

Adaptable to various purposes, including 4D cinemas, theme parks, or venues with vibrating acoustic floors - as well as applications that go beyond entertainment - Mover lets audiences feel the sound through haptic perception by vibrating the surrounding environment, which the human body picks up and, through bone conduction, translating the vibrations into perceivable frequencies.

The Mover platform will again be available for attendees to try on the Powersoft stand, linked to an immersive VR video.

Away from the stand, Powersoft will also be in attendance at the Inavation Awards, where the company is listed as a finalist in the R&D Award category, with company founder and R&D director Claudio Lastrucci also shortlisted for the Industry Influencer of the Year award.

As inexpensive protection against worst-scenario, dock locks are extensively used these days to prevent loading accidents.

Ashley, OH -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/16/2020 -- The loading area between the truck and warehouse is one of the most problematic areas for forklift operators and warehouse employees. Incidents like trailer creep or premature truck departure and sloppy placement account for thousands of lives and injuries.

Unfortunately, safety measures are considered only after a severe accident. A simple dock lock can avoid many such loading dock accidents. These locks are inexpensive protection against a worst-case scenario, such as a forklift falling off the dock.

Rotary Products offers both truck restraints and trailer restraints, dock locks, dock door locks, loading dock locking systems, and dock lock systems. While trailer restraints help secure one's trailers and the merchandise day and night, truck restraints ensure that the truck remains safe at the loading dock. These locks are widely useful for safety and security for those loading and unloading the truck. They also provide for adequate safety measures to prevent the truck from being driven away prematurely.

Each dock comes with a locking mechanism that ensures safety and security. Today, these locks come in a variety of models and styles to accomplish the needs of the business. Along with truck and trailer restraints, the dock door has become equally popular these days. These dock locks contribute to the safety and security of the loading dock area.

At Rotary Products, the professionals aim at creating a safe, secure, and energy-efficient, productive loading deck. To increase dock performance, dock shock must be decreased.

According to reports from a reliable source, dock shock can cause long back and neck injuries, which means more strain on the truck drivers. Despite having plenty of loading docks, having a system to engage or disengage specific loading docks helps with efficiency quickly.

Apart from utilizing truck and trailer restraints, a complete dock lock system incorporates dock door locks.

X8 and Ottocanali amplifiers bring power and precision to celebrated Japanese sports stadium

Kobe, Japan -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/22/2019 -- Since 1970, Kobe City Misaki Park Stadium, also known as the Noevir Stadium, has been the center for major sports events within the city of Kobe. Having recently played host as one of the venues for the Rugby World Cup – a first in Asia – the 30,000-capacity stadium is also home to Andres Iniesta's J1 League club Vissel Kobe and rugby union Top League team Kobelco Steelers. With such an illustrious run of events, and more to come, the audio system at Noevir Stadium recently upgraded their sound systems with Powersoft X8 and Ottocanali amplifiers.

"The audio systems in a modern venue like Noevir Stadium have to be able to handle spoken word, music playback and even commercials," explained Powersoft Business Development Manager for Fixed Install Marc Kocks. "When designing or refurbishing an audio system in a stadium, you have to ensure that it is able to offer both flexibility and scalability. A good place to start is by selecting DSP- and Dante-enabled products, as they allow users to change the function and behavior of the system with the click of a mouse."

Integrator for the project, Shigeyoshi Ariga, specified a total of 24 Powersoft X8's, 6 Ottocanali 12K4 DSP+D's, one Ottocanali 8K4 DSP+D and one Ottocanali 4K4 DSP+D amplifier platforms.

The X8's are used to accommodate the line array systems, while the Ottocanali 12K4 DSP+D are used as an auxiliary speaker for the upper tiers in order to cover any dead space. The 8K4 DSP+D has been included to accommodate any temporary speakers, and 4K4 DSP+D is mainly used to drive the Hi-Z speaker line and monitor speakers in the operating room.

Between them, these amplifiers power a sound system primarily designed to play audio that is related to video content shown on the screens during football and rugby matches, as well as distributing various announcements. The mixer and playback equipment are hidden away in a sound operating room, while the amplifiers are stored in two separate areas. All audio transmission between the operating room and the amplifiers room is taken care of via Dante.

In reference to the challenges faced by the team, in-house system engineer and operator, Fumiaki Yuasa, commented: "The stadium is very difficult to control from a tuning point of view, as it has a lot of reflective surfaces that all get mixed up together. Within ArmoniaPlus, the Raised-cosine filter can help with this aspect under the group function."

Noevir Stadium's retractable roof was another obstacle for the team to overcome, as Yuasa continued: "I tried to create the best conditions with the roof open, which was as complex task because of resonance points at certain frequencies. By using ArmoniaPlus, I was able to create grouping functions in order to turn this complex system into an easy-to-understand one, which in turn allows me to carry out my work more efficiently."

He went on to discuss further strengths of Powersoft's proprietary software: "What I like most about ArmoniaPlus are the Interactive Tuning and Limiter functions. Interactive Tuning in particular is great, as it allows me to fine-tune the synchronization with Smaart v8, which a lot of engineers are currently using, as well as making adjustments while looking at the screen and keeping the system quiet. This is a unique feature and an innovative way to reduce stress on engineers on site, something that has maybe been overlooked by other amplifier platforms."

Shigeyoshi Ariga, engineering department at TOA, was also full of praise for ArmoniaPlus: "It is not uncommon to have the amplifiers room separated from the operating room by quite long distance, and this often makes it difficult to monitor the status of the power amplifiers or the output meter, as well as detect faults remotely. With ArmoniaPlus, we are now able to centrally monitor all of these functions, which was a massive advantage for me."

He continued: "The Workspace in ArmoniaPlus itself is great for us, as the layout of the amplifiers and speakers are graphically arranged and controlled to match the installation situation in the real world. At the same time, the Operator View function was graphically installed according to the same layout as Workspace, so that all of the output headroom could be centrally monitored in one screen."

With no dedicated operator in the stadium, Operator View only displays the headroom meter and the mute function so that someone who is unfamiliar with the management of the stadium can still operate it easily. Functional restrictions have also been put in place to prevent unnecessary changes to the Workspace setup."

Ariga also singled out the Live Impedance Monitoring feature of ArmoniaPlus as being a major strength in applications such as the one at Noevir Stadium. He commented: "Since the impedance frequency characteristics of the load can be visualized and stored by letting the test signal and pink noise flow, the state of the speakers after one or two years can be checked remotely. I believe this will be of great use to us for future maintenance."

New marketing era combining data and experience

Zhongshan, China -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/03/2019 -- The so-called Retail 3.0 Era, that is, the era in which consumers dominate. Throughout the entire process of economic market development, consumers are undoubtedly on the highest position of the market chain. Manufacturers, distributors, and service providers all exist to satisfy the consumers. It is a consumer-led era.

What is the New Retail Era? How is it Developed?

In the United States, with the development of TV media, manufacturers are like a flood of floodgates, presenting goods in front of consumers through various methods, and having more funds to explore other sales methods. The stores have become the most direct and fast sales channel for manufacturers as they can directly communicate with consumers face to face and receive comments from consumers. This opens the era of Retail 1.0: The Era Dominated by Manufacturers.

In the mid-1990s, the merger of some FMCG retailers, such as Wal-Mart, they can compete with manufacturers as they have huge data accumulation and clients' information. That is the secret ingredient of these FMCG retailers. This is the era of Retail 2.0: The Channel-Led Era.

With the development of the economy, consumers have begun to have their ideas. It is not a shopping attitude that has never been rejected in the past. Ordinary retail methods can no longer satisfy consumers' preferences. This has ushered in a new era of Retail 3.0: The Consumer-Led Era.

Today, the advent of the era of big data, the diversification of information media has opened the door for personalized customization in the retail market, and data marketing has become the first weapon in the Retail 3.0 Era.

The concept of "New Retail" was first proposed by Jack Ma [1][2], that is, the experiential marketing method, mainly through the offline experience platform such as brand flash shop and experience hall, to provide consumers with the stimulation of color and scent and touch, so that they can obtain physiological Sensory massage and emotional comfort, so that they willingly promote the store. From Coca-Cola Happy Vending Machines, Adidas Flash Shops, to New York Fashion Week 29 Rooms, to NetEase Funeral Tea Shops, Taobao Creation Festival, touchable offline experiences and "irrational" emotional interactions are becoming popular.

What do consumers want?

In the era of Retail 3.0, what retailers can offer to the consumer is ahead of what consumers want. More and more research show that consumers are pursuing a personalized customization requirement. Only the "exclusive" products provided for individual styles are most likely recognized by current consumers. The mass production single copy product mode is no longer available. Retailers should provide a stable and operable large-scale personalized customization service to meet consumers' needs. With the coming of big data, along with diverse media, make the personalized retail market possible. Data marketing has become the first weapon in the era of Retail 3.0.

Inevitable Trend of the Development of New Retail

1. Digitization: By digitizing the supply chain, companies will effectively reduce the level of suppliers and improve overall efficiency.

2. Multi-channelization: Making full use of big data and multi-channel personalized communication will effectively stimulate consumer demand.

3. Platformization: Allows access to the brand offline inventory database via an online platform, which will provide a wider range of product choices and drive online order growth in physical stores.

4. Entertainment: An easy and pleasant, lively and interesting offline shopping environment will effectively enhance consumer interaction and brand awareness.

New retail is the trend of the times. As Jack Ma's [1][2] foresight, online can't replace offline, the shift in consumption habits is redefining the market. One Plus Management Limited One Plus Management Limited is a service provider that provides retail decoration design for retailers, with 5 years of digital display design and manufacturing experience, we are capable to provide service to help our clients to grasp the opportunity of new retail.

Former MUSIC Tribe executive will focus on systems integration market, development of key accounts and accelerating U.S. growth

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/02/2019 -- Powersoft, the world leader in lightweight and energy efficient amplifier platforms, announced that it has appointed industry veteran Tom Knesel to the position of General Manager, North America. Knesel, who will be located at the company's U.S. headquarters in Kearny, NJ and who will start on October 7th, will report directly to Luca Giorgi, Sales & Business Development Director, Powersoft. The announcement follows the successful relocation of Powersoft's North American headquarters two years ago, and coincides with the company's increased focus on the systems integration market and launch of the Mezzo amplifier platform earlier this year.  

"We are very pleased to welcome Tom into the Powersoft family," commented Luca Giorgi. "Two years ago we began a significant restructuring of our U.S. operations, which included relocating our headquarters to the east coast, hiring new operational and sales staff, and realigning our entire North American sales rep network. Having successfully completed these tasks, we are perfectly positioned in this region for sustained growth and net new revenue opportunities."

"Tom brings over two decades of industry experience to his new role as GM, as well as a solid understanding of the overall competitive market context," Giorgi continued. "Further, he shares the same family values as our organization and is committed to leading our U.S. team towards increased success in the U.S.

Before joining Powersoft, Knesel was Regional Business Development Manager, Americas, for MUSIC Tribe and responsible for driving revenue and managing the Americas for the company's commercial audio brands — including Midas, Klark Teknik, Lake, Lab Gruppen, TC Electronics, Tannoy and Turbosound. Prior to that, Knesel spent several years in the manufacturer, design and systems integration markets, serving in both sales and executive roles at companies including Ashly Audio, AE Global Media and others. Knesel studied engineering at Southern Polytechnic State University.

"I am truly excited to be joining such an innovative, close-knit team of professionals," said Knesel. "The most distinguishing factor in Powersoft's brand is its passion. This factor, combined with the experience of our U.S. team and the market- leading innovations coming from our home office in Italy, will continue to differentiate us in the North American region. I look forward to playing an integral role within our global team and helping to accelerate our success."

Luca Giorgi, who has served in a dual role for Powersoft as GM, North America and Sales & Business Development Director for the past two years, will relocate to the company's global headquarters in Florence, Italy at the end of December, and now that the transition is complete, will continue in his role as Sales & Business Director for the global organization.

"This is an exciting time for Powersoft and we welcome Tom to our global executive team," commented Luca Lastrucci, CEO and co-founder of Powersoft. "Our continued growth in this region, combined with our increased focus on the systems integration market, make this an opportune time for Tom to be leading the North American team."

Sci-fi themed bar curates a unique aesthetic with powerful sound to match

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/28/2019 -- Brooklyn's Jupiter Disco is a New York City club with a twist: instead of mimicking the look and feel of a dive bar from the city's storied past like so many others, owners Maks Pazuniak and Al Sotack built a room that looks to the future with a dystopian science fiction-derived aesthetic that wouldn't look out of place in a Phillip K. Dick novel or a Star Wars film. Complimenting the collection of LED screens, vintage electronics, and moody lighting is an impressive sound system designed by House Under Magic's Danny Taylor, which utilizes Powersoft M20D power amplifiers to provide the variety of genre-bending DJ's and performers booked by Jupiter Disco with enough power to launch the club into orbit.

Feeling the energy
The impetus for the Jupiter Disco, which first opened its doors in 2016, was to have a place that reflected Pazuniak and Sotack's shared love of sci-fi novels and outdated electronics. "It all came about very organically," said Sotack. "This was just all the stuff that we loved and that we'd become friends over, so it made sense that it would spill out into something that we'd make." The partners were introduced to Taylor through a mutual friend, and from there they began brainstorming an appropriate sound system for their new space.

Taylor approached designing the sound system with two main goals: Ensuring that there was enough power and precision in the system to deliver high volume in a focused fashion and making sure that all the elements fit the look and feel of the room without disrupting the theme. "The space was chosen because it's a steel and concrete box, which is the right look for a 'run down bar in 2065'," Taylor explained. "That being said, it's not an ideal acoustic area, so the goal was to find a way to make sure we were able to have a full volume dance floor without blowing everyone's hearing out."

An added challenge was that whatever system he installed would need the power amplifiers to be able to handle fast transients to account for the enclosed nature of the room, which required careful position of speakers to ensure that the right areas were fully covered without bleeding into the bar. "You're trying to move a large volume of air in a small space quickly," Taylor said. "At the same time, you want to fill out the low end in a full way so that people are feeling the energy of the room without having to be right in the 'sweet spot' of the dance floor or being unable to order a drink at the bar."

Power and precision where it counts
The bedrock of Jupiter Disco's sound system is a trio of Powersoft MD20D power amplifiers – one for the mains, one for the subs, and one for the satellite subs -- powering a selection of uncovered Danley and Bose speakers and running through a custom-designed rotary mixer running through a VCA compressor. Taylor selected the MD20Ds for their power and reliability as well as their ability to deliver the signal in the purest possible way. "The design point of this entire system was to have as much clean power as possible without a lot of internal DSP," he explained. "What's great about the MD20Ds is that they are just pure, clean, unbiased power. They give out exactly what you are putting into it without adding any coloration, which allows the character and compression to come from the front end of the system."

In addition to providing the club with the clean power required, the system can also handle the fast transients required for the room, allowing visiting DJs the ability to provide a healthy variety of music that is well tuned to the space as well as make use of modular synths or drum machines to enhance their sets. "The MD20s react to fast transients really well without any lag time," Taylor said. "They are also barely being pushed to their capacity, which means we have a lot of power in reserve if someone really wants to push it."

Alberta-Based Sound Production Company Specializes in Western Events

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/27/2019 -- Kesler Sound has become the go-to sound production provider for Western events in Alberta, Canada and the neighboring territories across the border in the United States. Part of what has made Kesler Sound so successful has been their embrace of the changing and unpredictable nature of these events as they've transformed from the dusty rodeos of yore to modern-day multimedia events that incorporate a loud and varying soundtrack alongside live performers, announcers, and the traditional livestock entertainment that has kept large crowds in attendance season after season. Kesler Sound's latest innovation has been their implementation of the Powersoft M-Force transducer in their custom-made subwoofer boxes, a development which has changed the way they provide their services for these types of events.

The Changing Face of Rodeo
"The Rodeo-style event has been changing. It's much more of a production than it was in the past," explained Kesler Sound founder Kurtis Kesler "In addition to the abundance of music we have going during the events now, we also have to accommodate announcers and live entertainers. The dynamics are always changing, and it pushes systems – HARD." Kesler, who has spent the last twelve years building his own sound systems and providing audio for Western events, realized early on that the demands of these events were different from a typical live concert or performance. Not only did they require a high-quality system that would be clear and audible over distance, but they needed to be rugged to handle the physical realities of these events including dust, mud, and the fact that no inclement weather would ever cancel an event.

Story image
"We're out in the dust every day and the show goes on whether it's rain or shine," said Kesler. "We've designed all of our systems to be IP65 rated for dust and rain so that no matter what happens, they're still reliable under these conditions and are still able to maintain complete sonic quality." A big part of this sonic quality has been his application of Powersoft's M-Force transducers in his custom-designed boxes, a design which has utilized M-Force's high-efficiency moving magnet design to deliver the crisp low-end that Kesler requires at a power level and quality that has allowed him to forgo the traditional double 18" design and ultimately save space and cost.

Snappy and Versatile
Kesler initially reached out to Powersoft about working with M-Force in 2016, designing his first box and testing it out at his shows that summer. He was immediately impressed by the quality and found himself tweaking his designs back and forth while sharing his findings with Powersoft. "They were so welcoming, and I wouldn't be where I am today without that. Even though I was a small company that was just starting out, they were always supportive and responsive to any questions or ideas that I had."

Story image
Kesler's sub box, which is 34" square and weighs 210 pounds, has been deliberately tuned for a crisp and tight low end rather than a seat-shaking one, allowing him to accommodate the wide variety of music choices that are now found at the types of events that he works. "In a rodeo you can go from classic rock, to country, to pop, so you have to be able to cover everything," he said. "Although it has the ability to drop to 30 hz for a nice rumble if needed, I was focused on a box that could do all types of music equally. By using M-Force I was able to get better detail and articulation out of it than I would a traditional double 18". They're really amazing."

Kesler's M-Force equipped sub boxes have also allowed him to dramatically cut down on the number of subs required for the events he works, which he says would traditionally require quadruple the number of boxes for a 5-6,000-person event. Doing so has not only allowed him to deliver the same power and quality with less equipment, but it has also made his work more cost-effective as he requires less transportation and set-up to deliver the high-quality sound that he has become known for – something that occasionally requires him to win over a few skeptics. "My favorite reaction is showing up to an event and having people say, 'You only brought four subs with you?' only to have them hear it and have their socks knocked off," Kesler said.

Kesler runs his systems with Powersoft's ArmoniaPlus software using a single Cat5 cable that encompasses a digital AES signal, analog audio signal, and full system control. As he's continued to innovate he's made his systems smaller and more efficient, all while continuing to design them to be rugged and weather ready for whatever nature has to throw at him. "I got so hooked on the challenge of designing these things," he said. "It's always changing and that's what's exciting to me, and if you're able to come at it with fresh ideas people really see what you're capable of, and that's really rewarding."

Announcing the Ultimate Smart Solution for Corporate, Hospitality, Education

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/02/2019 -- Italian audio innovator Powersoft unveiled its newest amplifier platform at InfoComm 2019 [Booth 6681, West Level 2] during a press conference today for industry media and VIP guests. Mezzo, a new line expressly designed for the AV/IT market, consists of eight amplifier models, each offering different power and connectivity options. Mezzo, which is perfectly suited for corporate, hospitality and educational environments, is a self-configuring amplifier system that delivers unprecedented power and flexibility in a highly compact, Class-D technology design that is easy to install and operate.

Mezzo is a highly reliable and flexible system from one of the leading innovators in amplifier technology — making it ideal for a range of fixed application scenarios. Further, Mezzo is simple to set up and can be monitored remotely, making it attractive to integrators seeking reduced installation times and more efficient deployment of A/V staff in the field.  

"Until now, AV/IT integrators and end-users might have experienced limited flexibility in existing low power solutions to drive audio in corporate, hospitality and education environments," commented Klas Dalbjorn, Product Manager, Powersoft. "Our new Mezzo platform delivers the quality and reliability Powersoft is already known for, but with smaller power configurations that are highly adaptable for a range of different fixed installation environments. We recognize there are many system designers and integrators that seldom need more than 250W and can often make do on as little 15W on a channel — Mezzo covers these needs."

The eight available models in the new Mezzo line consist of four power sizes, each offering an option with "A" (Analog) or "AD" (Analog-Digital), which adds Dante/AES67. The power sizes include smaller option of 320W in 4 x 80W and 2 x 160W variants, and a larger option of 600W in 4 x 150 or 2 x 300W. All of the eight models are networkable and feature automatic setup for audio parameters, significantly reducing deployment time during installation. Further, all of the units offer load monitoring, so users can monitor system parameters such as temperature, power usage and performance over time. These parameters can be monitored and controlled via Powersoft's own Armonia system manager, or through an external control system or a plug-in in a DSP matrix platform. 

The AD models include Dante and AES67 integration, and also add an internal Gigabit Ethernet switch and a second port, meaning that multiple products can share the same network cable. This feature can convenient in a retrofit, or if the user needs to share a network connection between a projector and an amplifier for instance. 

Perhaps most impressive is Mezzo's overall flexibility and power sharing capabilities. The smaller 320W power sized models are able to deliver 80/160W per channel into 2, 4, 8 or 16 ohms as well as 100, 70 or 25V. Meantime, the larger 600W power sized models can deliver 4 x 150W or 2 x 300W, and can drive two 16 ohm as well as 25, 70 or 100V. While this is impressive in terms of flexibility, each channel has sufficient headroom for power sharing according to the specific installation needs. This means one model can drive zones of varying sizes, and design changes can be accommodated 'on the fly' without having to alter equipment choice.

Mezzo: maximum flexibility where it counts
"The power sharing capabilities of Mezzo offer the maximum flexibility in allocating power to different channels," explains Marc Kocks, Powersoft's Business Development Manager. "Many times, users can be faced with a system that has a couple very hungry loudspeakers, and then one or two in adjacent areas that don't require as much power. Mezzo will automatically recognize high impedance and low impedance loads and configure the system to accommodate these variances. This means greater power efficiency and significantly less set up time."  

Mezzo also features equally impressive installation options. Each unit comes with rack mount accessories to fit two units into a standard 19" rack, or 1 unit in a 11" compact rack. Alternatively, the unit can stand alone on rubber feet in a credenza or be mounted on the wall — for instance behind a video screen. The unit is ultra-quiet and requires no ventilation and can therefore be used in dusty environments, under a desk or in locations where an audio closet may not available. Further, in terms of performance, Mezzo also delivers enough power to drive many subwoofers. This potentially means a significant space savings in locations that will no longer require 19" racks.

"Many fixed installation environments these days consist of both analog and digital," Kocks continued. "Mezzo is perfect for these environments, since it can accommodate inputs on both analog and digital. Further, each Mezzo can be set up as a decentralized unit, enabling each unit to be part of a larger system with local feeds from Dante network. This can lead to massive cost savings in cabling expenses as well as significantly increased monitoring and control functionality. A user can retain full control over features as if it was a centralized rig."
Mezzo is priced starting from $915 (USD MSRP)

Solution will ensure firms are compliant to the new contractor payment laws

Minneapolis, MN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/27/2019 -- Today, EleVia Software announced solution readiness to help architecture and engineering firms across North America deliver prompt payments to make sure that contractors, subcontractors and workers are paid on time to meet new compliance requirements. EleVia Payables Approval & Tracking (PAT) solution provides Deltek clients with the solution to consistently meet these new payment requirements with built in automation, alerting and tracking.

Several U.S. states and Canadian provinces have compliance requirements in place or in the works, which makes this a universal challenge for A&E firms across North America. New prompt payment and adjudication processes will come into effect in Ontario province on October 1, 2019 with the new Ontario Act. These new processes include contractor and subcontractor seven-day payment time requirements as well as the right for contractors and subcontractors to charge mandatory interest on late payments beginning when the amount is due.

For most organizations, the current process to track and alert payment is manual, labor intensive and has potential for error with no safety net to verify data. With EleVia PAT, Deltek users will now be able to:

- Automate alerts to run on a daily basis to inform when specific consultants need to be paid due to compliance requirements

- See at a glance via color coding if the consultants are nearing or going over their contract remaining

- Speed the approval process by showing the PM the contract side by side with the incoming invoice

- Create two vouchers for partial pay and retainage with a click of a button

"To meet the new compliance requirements, A&E firms need to enhance their payment processes and systems to meet the new payment compliance requirements," stated Ron Noden, Executive Vice President of EleVia Software. "Not only will EleVia's automation and tracking ability help firms be compliant to the new laws, it will keep contractors happy and strengthen their reputation in the industry."

Kearny Point, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/10/2019 -- Ten years ago, Italian amplifier pioneer Powersoft began a fruitful relationship with Valencia, CA-based ATK Audiotek — a company specializing in live audio for high profile special events, touring and television production. A decade later, the two companies — both leaders in their respective fields — continue to collaborate and pursue mutually beneficial opportunities in the pro audio sphere.

As a global integrator and rental company, ATK has provided audio services for high profile events including the Super Bowl, The Grammys, the Republican and Democratic conventions, and many others. Over the course of the companies' ten-year relationship, Powersoft has driven revolutionary changes in amplifier technology and systems design, including unparalleled power efficiency, comprehensive software control, the industry-wide adoption of networked audio among many other innovations.

Aligning on a vision
The two companies began working together in 2009 after ATK's VP of Engineering, Scott Harmala finally tested an amplifier from Powersoft at the urging of one of his trusted colleagues: "I started testing it, and I just couldn't believe what I was testing — it just seemed too good to be true," Harmala recalls. "So I started considering the idea that maybe Powersoft should be in the running for the new amplifier purchase I was about to make. I started working through the process with Claudio Lastrucci of Powersoft, who was very responsive."

The timing was right, since Harmala had been pursuing a unified amplifier platform. "I was tired of having all these different amp sizes and configurations, different racks and systems. We had so much inflow and outflow of inventory on a daily basis, and it was logistically challenging having so many unique components. It is so much easier when you have fewer unique elements and a more unified approach. So I just started driving the idea in that direction and everybody internally seemed to be on board with it." ATK soon pulled the trigger on an order of 500 Powersoft K10 amplifiers as its first Powersoft order, which was at the time the amplifier manufacturer's largest order to date. Now, ATK has 579 Powersoft K10s and 12 X4 DSP+ Dante amplifiers in its active inventory.

Opening the doors to shared innovation
Originally, Harmala wanted the amps to be without DSP, because of ATK's existing inventory and how systems were being used at the time. But after a year of having the K10s, and as their events became more sophisticated, Harmala begin populating them with DSP cards so they could build presets for all the speakers they were serving. "We saw a great advantage to having the DSP handled internally and moving towards more of a distributed processing arrangement and I wanted Powersoft to be on board with this approach. They had Mario DiCola helped build the first iteration of Armoni?a, which I felt was a very positive step forward and one of the big reasons that I committed to what they were doing."

The subsequently successful development of the Armoni?a software platform — which ATK was an early beta tester of — led to increased flexibility in amplifier deployments, as well as a deepened relationship between both companies. "Integrating DSP into the amplifiers was a massive change for our infrastructure and our way of doing things, but it allowed us so much more granularity and flexibility, while having seamless control of all our Powersoft amps."

The collaboration between Powersoft and ATK led to further innovations, such as was when ATK required the ability to load presets onto Powersoft amp platforms: "ATK very often has many different requirements for its monitor, systems and monitor engineers," comments Kurt Metzler, U.S. Sales Director, Powersoft. "Each of these may require specific presets, so they needed a really fast and easy way to load these in on our X Series platform. Based on this feedback, we built a software platform that can load up 100 presets almost instantly using the USB plug on front of the interface. So their specific request and desired application drove us to create this solution."

For the 2016 Super Bowl halftime performance, ATK brought in eight of their Mario DiCola designed subs — complete with M-Force technology — placing them in a 360-degree configuration around the stadium. Powersoft's Kurt Metzler ended up getting a compliment on the system performance from a highly esteemed colleague: "He called me up out of the blue and said, 'Hey Kurt, I was at the Super Bowl and I heard those Powersoft M-Force speakers. It was unreal what a difference it made. Nobody has ever heard a stadium with that kind of extension in the low end,' and this guy had done countless stadiums and installs. The fact that ATK pulled this off was a great example of how they are always pushing the envelope on audio. We were proud to have our technology behind this effort of course."

Building on a foundation of reliability
While features and functionality can often make set up and deployment more efficient, Harmala doesn't mince words when it comes to his most important consideration in amplifier selection: "In my mind, reliability is always the top consideration in amplifier performance, and an area where Powersoft has consistently excelled." Since working with Powersoft, ATK has experienced failure rates of less .5 percent of its inventory per year. "For ATK, reliability is mission critical — if something fails, that's it," adds Metzler. "And Powersoft will jump through any hoop we need to if there is any sort of problem — that's the kind of relationship we have. If there is ever a problem, we will do whatever we have to do to make things right."

When asked about what the future may hold between the two companies, Harmala becomes philosophical: "I think our industry has become quite a bit more sophisticated and the digital era has raised the bar in our industry, both in digital consoles and in digital distribution. It has become more technically challenging and it requires more education and understanding, but everybody in our industry now has more capabilities and more power to do more difficult things. Everybody is accustomed to working this way now, and there is no going back."

"In terms of amplifiers, it is important to keep things efficient, small, light and powerful," he continues. "Powersoft keeps on pushing the envelope in that direction, and I think they are well ahead of all the other manufacturers in power density and efficiency." That is what caught my eye ten years ago, and I think they are an industry leader. There are others now that are trying to catch up, but Powersoft is still ahead. The rest is history. We've been using them ever since and having great success.

For its part, Powersoft has been privileged to work alongside ATK, according to Metzler. "ATK has been invaluable to us for beta testing new products and sharing candid feedback on our successes and failures. We depend on this open feedback and it has led to us going down different technological paths. There are many things coming that they will be a part of, and they will continue to help us shape new innovations and customer experiences."
