Check out our latest new kit: IP Rated LED Fixtures, Rush Strobe Panels, Yamaha Digital Multicore system and more...
Ready for the winter season, IPS have taken delivery of additional IP rated LED fixtures. These are ideal for outside use, and the two models new to stock are the Lanta Aurora V1000v2 Batten, and the Showtec Spectral XLI-4 fixture. For internal use, we have also upgraded all our LED Parcans to new RGBW versions. Also in the lighting department, IPS are amongst the first stockists of the Rush by Martin Strobe 1 5x5 panels, which are LED Matrix strobes. On the sound front, we have also taken delivery of a Yamaha Ethersound digital multicore system, and new to rigging is a 8m diameter Prolyte H30V Truss circle.
The Lanta Aurora Bar 1000v2 LED Batten is a 1m long outdoor rated fixture. It has 24 x 3w RGB LEDs mounted in a line, which provide smooth colour mixing. It has a sturdy metal chassis, and comes with floor standing brackets as standard. The power connectors are 16a Cee Form inlet with a 16a Cee Form link outlet, and data is via a 5pin DMX in and out. The units are IP65 rated, so are suitable to be used outside, but are compact enough to be equally at home for internal use. The Aurora Bars are ideal to use as uplighters, and their 80w power consumption means lots can be easily connected together for long runs. The Lanta Aurora 1000v2 is available to hire now at £20 per week plus VAT per unit.
The Showtec Spectral XLI-4 is a 50cm long four cell LED fixture, fitted with four seriously powerful 40w RGBW LED pods. It is has a metal chassis with a mounting yoke so can either be used in a floor standing or hanging configuration. The power connectors are 16a Cee Form inlet with a 16a Cee Form link outlet, and data is via a 5pin DMX in and out. The units are IP67 rated, so are suitable to be used outside- although could equally be used inside. With a wide range of control options, these units can be controlled either as a single RGBW unit, or each cell can be individually mapped, which is ideal for more involved set ups and pixel mapping. The Showtec Spectral XLI-4 is available to hire now at £45 per week plus VAT per unit.
Our previous Lanta Fireball LED Chrome uplighters proved very popular, so we have decided to upgrade these to the latest RGBW versions. Now featuring 18 x 8w RGBW LEDs, these Par64 floorcan sized fixtures provide a punchy beam effect. Controlled either by DMX or set to a static colour or even sound activated, these are versatile units. The power connector is a trailing 16a Cee Form inlet, and data is via 3pin in and out connections on the unit. Ideal to use in floor standing configuration, or alternatively these can be supplied with hook clamps and safety bonds to mount on scaff or truss. The Lanta Fireball RGBW LED Cans are available to hire now at £25 per week plus VAT per unit.
Rush by Martin is a new range of fixtures which launched at PLASA a few weeks ago. IPS are amongst the first stockists of these new products, pictured above are the IPS units in action at the recent One Direction Film Premiere (along with the ever popular Showtec Pixel Track Pro LED Battens). The LED based Strobe 1 5x5 is a matrix panel which has individually controllable LEDs and also a series of pre-programmed macros which are accessible via DMX. The macros include various effects including letters, numbers and patterns. The units can be used as a stand-alone effect, or can be controlled via DMX in various modes depending on how many options you want – from accessing the macros to full matrix control for pixel mapping. The panels can be linked with integral claws both horizontally and vertically. The units have a PowerCon power inlet, and have both 3pin & 5pin DMX in and out connections on the units. The Rush 5x5 Strobe Panels are available to hire now at £50 per week plus VAT per unit.
There have also been upgrades in the sound department. A second Yamaha M7CL has been added to our inventory, along with a Yamaha Ethersound Digital Multicore system. Three SB168-ES Digital Stagebox units are now in stock, which enables a total of 48 analog inputs and 24 analog outputs to be transmitted via Ethersound over up to 100m of Cat 5 cable. The system is uses 24 bit DA conversion, enabling a 48kHz sampling rate to keep all signals in optimum condition. Compatible with the LS9 and M7CL desks (via optional cards), this multicore system makes set up quick and easy, and makes the whole system a lot less susceptible to interference as analog cable runs are kept to a minimum. Please contact us to discuss your next audio project, and we can provide pricing details for your event. Also, coming soon are a revised range of our popular sound system package deals.
The range of Truss circles in stock has also been boosted, with a Prolyte H30V 8m diameter Truss Circle being added to the 3m and 4m diameter options already in stock. This enables even more creative rigging options to be created, especially when combined with our extensive range of fixed and box corners, and massive range of truss sizes. The 8m circle is supplied in 8 sections, and with the added benefit of the superior weight loading of the H30V product range is set to be a popular item. The 8m Prolyte H30V Truss Circle is available to hire from late November 2013 at £400 per week plus VAT.
