Situated in the Melbourne’s east, the community at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church was being crowded out by a suburb fast-tracked for urban growth.
Needing to relocate to a quieter location with room to expand, they became aware that a short distance down the road the St. James Uniting Church, with its striking mid-century early modern architecture, was looking to sell.
The Kaho Theater in Iizuka City, Fukuoka, has survived many difficulties since the original building appeared in1922 and along the way this playhouse has been designated a Japanese national registered tangiblecultural property.
The predecessor of the current Kaho Theatre, Nakaza, was originally opened as an entertainment place for people working in coal mines in the Chikuho region. Mainly traditional drama, Kabuki, standup comedy, juggling and silent films were performed during that era.
With the ease, reliability, and cost-savings of Audinate’s Dante technology, it’s no wonder that Dante networking continues to define the standard for AV installers across the globe. We knew this when we designed our CONNECTSERIES amplifiers, which is why we created a completely separate family of Dante-enabled models. But we also wanted our products to push the boundaries and give integrators/installers a tool that can truly benefit their systems and processes. So, we created our Dante On-Ramp feature.
With Dante On-Ramp, all the analog input signals that are sent into the amplifier, go into the input matrix which is configurable through our Cloud or Web UI, and the signals are also automatically sent to the transmitter channels on the Dante Broadway module that is built into our Dante CONNECTSERIES amplifiers. This allows users to take any analog input, and route it via Dante to share with other Dante-enabled devices.

What do Crocs and Sharks have in common? Well, besides the teeth, you can find them both in a brand new Distribution Center in Dayton, Ohio. The LEA CONNECTSERIES amps have made their way into another system install. Thanks to our system integrator friends at Chapel-Romanoff Technologies (CRT), our CONNECTSERIES amps are powering the overhead paging system for this essential distribution venue. Now, Crocs has ensured that all health and safety protocols have been met in their new facility, during a global pandemic, when safety is critical.

Our CONNECTSERIES amplifiers are intentionally designed with no front panel knobs, buttons, or controls. The reason for this was to maintain a sleek and industrial design while also preventing any unwanted tampering or adjustments to the user settings. However, we did want the front panel to include an array of information that would help installers quickly check the status of their units. One of those status features is the actual Shark Fin logo itself. The Shark Fin logo located on the front panel of the amplifier changes between four main colors, each of which indicates a different amplifier state. The Shark Fin logo will illuminate GREEN when AC power is plugged in but the unit is off, BLUE when the unit is on, CYAN when the units is undergoing a factory reset, and MAGENTA when the unit is undergoing a firmware update.
Let’s dive in and take a closer look at each of these states…
Martin Audio has announced that it has now started shipping the ADORN series ceiling loudspeakers to the APAC territories. The extension to the popular new installation series, which brings class-leading performance, reliability and value to a wide range of installations, was first announced back in February this year.
Along with the ceiling speakers—an area of the commercial sound installation sector in which Martin Audio has always excelled—is the availability of the company’s first ever pendant speaker, which comes in black or white as standard.
Martin Audio has announced the availability of its first ever iOS app, XP Connect, for control and streaming for its popular self-powered portable series, BlacklineX Powered.
When BlacklineX Powered launched, users were able to access the built-in three-channel mixer and onboard Bluetooth streaming by utilising the rotary panel controls on the back of the loudspeakers. Now all of that functionality is brought to life in an intuitive, colourful app making it more convenient for the user.
The Seoul Foundation for Arts & Culture (SFAC) recently commissioned the installation of a Martin Audio MLA Mini /MSX loudspeaker array in its new Youth Arts Centre. Funded by donations, the facility has been designed for young people in the Korean capital to fulfil their artistic potential, and put them in touch with other creative hubs around the world via the internet.
Founded in 2003, the Foundation had been seeking to create Seoul as a platform where diverse values of culture and art could be expressed, and The Youth Arts Centre was created as part of this activity. The facility itself had originally been donated by a private school foundation named Wonsuk.
