Meyer Sub MM-10 subwoofer for the perfect hidden sound rent this equipment in Novelty Portugal

The MM-10 miniature subwoofer delivers expanded low frequency for applications that require excellent audio quality from a compact system.

Designed primarily as a companion to Meyer Sound’s MM-4XP miniature loudspeaker, as well as the UP-4XP ultracompact loudspeaker, both with IntelligentDC technology.

The MM-10 allows system designers to create full-range systems where space limitations are a concern.

The MM-10 features an operating frequency range of 33 Hz to 228 Hz with a conservatively rated maximum peak SPL of 123 dB. The MM-10 bass reflex cabinet houses a single 10-inch driver and a single-channel power amplifier complete with onboard processing, including a crossover, driver protection, and frequency and phase correction.

The built- in crossover accepts full-range signals, facilitating basic daisy-chaining for signal distribution, eliminating the need for external crossovers in small setups.

• Powerful low-frequency response from a very small cabinet

• Low distortion affords exceptionally clean bass

• Adaptable to complement MM-4XP and UP-4XP loudspeakers

• Versions include external IntelligentDC power supply or built-in AC power for driving satellite loudspeakers

ETC Lustre series 2 available for rent at Novelty Portugal

Light quality is the driving force behind ETC’s LED product development. Countless hours have gone into creating tools worthy of the most professional applications, and the Source Four® LED Series 2™ luminaire is the result of that dedication. With the brightest output and the boldest rendering of the colors you use most, the Source Four LED Series 2 introduces a whole new level of LED lighting that can be used anywhere.

ETC’s x7 Color System™ combines a balanced recipe of up to seven colors to create evocative color mixes. The Source Four LED Series 2 Lustr array takes the idea even further, with the addition of a lime-green LED emitter. Lime green increases the luminaire’s lumen output in open white and lighter tints to make them brighter and livelier, better matching the color of a conventional Source Four fixture. The lime also enriches color-rendering by better marrying the red and blue ends of the color spectrum, for truer-to-life light that fills in the gaps that ordinary LEDs leave behind.

Product Features:

  • 60 Luxeon® Rebel LED emitters
  • 20,000-hour L70 Rating
  • 3 arrays: Lustr, Daylight HD and Tungsten HD
  • Includes slots for glass or stainless steel patterns and soft focus diffuser
  • Accessory slot for motorised gobo devices or optional iris
  • Power in/thru via PowerCon Connections
  • Up to 6 fixtures can be linked via power in/thru connectors from a 15A power source
  • DMX512-A/RDM in/thru via five-pin XLR connectors
  • Multiple control options, including RGB, strobe, and console-free Master/Slave mode
  • 15-bit virtual dimming engine for smooth fades and minimal color shift during dimming
  • CE compliant and IP20 rated

Hippotizer Boreal on latest Cirque du Soleil spectacular!

From Hippotizer webpage: click here to read the full article.

Every year Cirque Du Soleil produces a show for the Andorra tourist board. Scalada Storia is the 3rd edition of the event that Novelty Portugal, have worked together with 45 Degrees, the special event division of Cirque Du Soleil to produce.

The idea is to promote Andorra as a summer destination with a special 60 minute show. With over 60 performances over the past 3 summers, to a 5000+ sellout crowd it’s easy to appreciate the success of the project so far.

Every year the main central parking area of the Parc Central, in the centre of Andorra la Vella, is commandeered and a performance area constructed to ‘house’ the show. With a 5000+ capacity the show takes centre stage so to speak in the majestic terrain of Andorra. It is an open air event that is free and unique in Europe.

This year, from 4th July to August 1st, there were 5 shows running per week (Tues – Sat). A new Hippotizer Boreal was purchased for use on these shows, running the latest V4 Beta software. The video concept was to have video capable tubes outlining performance cubes which we’re part of a central stage structure. The Hippotizer was then used to generate effects and output content which would work together with the lighting and add an extra dimension to the show.

Scalada Storia, is a new performance that shows the country’s more mystic side and takes the audience on an acrobatic and metaphorical journey to the legends of Andorra.
