Alcons can look back on another very successful participation in the ISE show, where Alcons displayed both her general product line and the AV / Digital Cinema product line.
Tom Back: “Again, the ISE show was able to attract potentials that we would not have met at other shows. It speaks for itself that the new CRMS reference system attracted a lot of attention, with many home-theatre and sound-for-picture integrators visiting the stand to have a look and listen to this novelty. Also the micro LR7 line-array could receive the warm interest of the ISE public, following superb critics from German and French test magazines.
Also, stand visitors were very impressed with our pro-ribbon sound quality from the VR8 monitors. We’ll be back at ISE in 2011 for sure!”.

End of October, a group of Alcons owners and engineers gathered at The Ribbon Network partner Lichtwerk in Berlin, for the first Alcons pro-ribbon seminar.
The participants were explained the basics of pro-ribbon technology, with historical background info up to application examples, along with Alcons’ company and product development philosophy. Main point on the program was the software- and hardware handling of the Alcons products in general and the pro-ribbon line-array systems in specific.
In cooperation with Lichtwerk, Carsten Albrecht (Alcons Audio Germany) and Niels Janssen (Alcons Audio headquarters) were given the opportunity to give a “hands-on” training at Lichtwerk’s new premises, on system set-up, striking and transportation. Due to the excellent weather conditions, even an impressive far-field demo of the new LR7 micro line-array and a QR36 array of 3 metres was possible outside Lichtwerk’s warehouse.
All in all a successful first Alcons training with good feedback from the participants. More to follow!

Alcons announces the establishment of the Danish representation of her products. Company Ascon Trading A/S from Aalborg has been appointed the sole Pro-Ribbon Partner for Denmark.
Established in 1988 by Knud Eskildsen, the company is active in the music, installation and pro-audio market, with established brands such as Midas, Tascam, Klark-Teknik, a.o.
Torben Laursen, in charge of pro-sales: "The first thing that struck us when listening to the Alcons speakers was the total lack of listening fatigue, the "in the face" vocals and the smooth response above 10kHz. It offers a 3-dimensional experience, that we haven't found anywhere else and this has been proven on every shoot out we've done so far. We love selling something that's different from the rest and the interest from the pro audio people has been way above our expectations."
Tom Back, Alcons Audio MD: "we think it's essential for Alcons Pro-Ribbon Partners that there's an "emotional click" with the product and the people. And with the Ascon team, we've got the right partner to represent the brand and support the Alcons users in Denmark."

The Newyear’s event Top 2000 In Concert took place in Amsterdam’s Heineken Music Hall and was broadcasted on January 1st 2010, right after the clock striked 0:00 marking the end of 2009.
This eleventh edition saw national and international artists performing their own song + one personal favourite from the Top2000, among which Acda en de Munnik, Ruth Jacot, Spandau Ballet, Jamie Cullum, Björn Again, Lee Towers, Rowwen Hèze and Jeroen van der Boom.
The live-sound was engineered by The Ribbon Network member Hof Audio from Haren, with the system designed by Bart Hof. Main system consisted of two flown arrays of 24 units Alcons LR16 compact line–array systems, complemented by groundstacked subwoofers. The frontfill system was configured using in total 12 units Alcons LR14 ultra-compact line-array systems. “Especially the LR14’s small front- and footprint make this speaker ideal for this application, although being an array speaker”, according to Bart. The Dutch engineers as well as Spandau Ballet’s engineer, Colin Norfield who used Alcons systems with Toto concerts were all enthusiast about the result.
