Fohhn Release A-1 Live

05/12/2011
Press Release: Fohhn Audio AG has released the A-1 live, a new portable stereo USB audio interface that has been specially developed to enable high-quality, trouble-free transmission of audio directly from a computer/laptop to a professional sound reinforcement system, without the need for additional hardware such as a mixer or DI box.
Primarily designed for live sound applications and permanent installations, the A-1 live is a stand-alone USB device equipped with balanced XLR stereo outputs and a galvanically isolated USB connection. These features enable audio to be directly transmitted from the computer to the sound reinforcement system avoiding any interference, hum, reduction in sound quality or loss of output level - common issues that can occur when using interfaces with unbalanced connectors, or when there is no galvanic isolation between the computer and the interface.
With simple "plug and play" installation and no separate power supply needed, the A-1 live offers a straightforward, practical option for live sound engineers, DJs and other audio professionals. The unit's robust housing has also been specially designed to cope with the daily rigours of live use.

Fohhn Systems Selected For Freemasons' Hall

10/10/2011
Press Release: Fohhn Linea and Arc-Series loudspeakers have been installed in the Freemasons' Hall, Edinburgh, to coincide with its centenary year celebrations.


Fohhn Systems installed in Freemasons' Grand Lodge
Home to the Grand Lodge of Scotland, the building's visually impressive, but acoustically challenging Grand Hall has been equipped with two pairs of Linea AL-100 line source speakers for main coverage. Fohhn supplied one of the pairs in a special RAL colour to match the marble pillars on which they were to be mounted. Ten Arc-Series AT-05 loudspeakers in a white finish were additionally installed as fills. An FC-9 DSP system controller was also included, offering remote control capabilities and integrated Fohhn Audio DSP functionality for amplifier channels, as well as maximum protection for the system as a whole
In the building's Lower Hall, four AT-05s were installed to replace some of the speakers in an existing set-up. A black colour was chosen to blend with the hall's architecture and the speakers were horizontally mounted and fitted with transformers to integrate into the existing 100V system.
The installation was carried out by Edinburgh-based Live Systems.
