He’s played live to a record breaking 3.5 million people in Moscow. Two billion people tuned in to see him bring in the new Millennium with the great pyramids as a backdrop.

Those very clever people at Turbosound have developed a revolutionary new loudspeaker bracket which means the new Impact series not only satisfies demand for great styling and sound quality, it greatly simplifies the sound system installer’s job.
The WB-5 adjustable wall bracket, supplied as standard with all three new Impact series installation loudspeakers, has integral electrical connections built into it.
This neat solution allows the brackets to be sited, installed and pre-wired by an electrical contractor, who need have no acoustics knowledge, prior to the loudspeakers being available on-site. The audio contractor simply has to push-fit the loudspeakers onto the brackets to complete the electrical circuit and angle the loudspeakers for best venue coverage. more

In September 2007, DPA Sound took delivery of two DiGiCo consoles, a D1 and a CS-D5. The Danish company was so impressed with its purchase, it decided to invest in even more DiGiCo desks at the beginning of this year, with the addition of two more CS-D5s and another D1.

Kim Johansen, a consultant for the Danish DiGiCo distributors Soundware confirmed that DPA Sound Co A/S requested the three consoles; no selling of the products was required. According to Johansen, the reason DPA chose the desks again was because of the “flexibility of the DiGiCo systems, and of course the sound quality. DPA like the fact that the same consoles have the ability to do theatre, corporate and music. The company also received great feedback from other users.” more
