The main attention at Alcons’ stand will be on a significant new development, making Alcons’ presence at Frankfurt as “the most important in its 7 years existence”: Tom Back, Alcons Audio MD: “following our tremendous success in our current markets worldwide, the time has come to make our entrance into a completely new market segment for Alcons and to make our pro-ribbon technology available there. We’ve been working on this for the last 3 years and, with the current market status in mind, we thought the time had come to turn this research into development of a new range of solutions. We see the result as “the evolution of sound reinforcement” and it marks the next step in the position of Alcons in the pro-audio market”.
The introduction will be made in a press conference at the beginning of the show.
Those interested are invited in Hall 8.0 on stand G50, or on:

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!

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.
