QSC’s new K-Series is proving a huge international success! It’s already the #1 powered speaker in the USA and all indications suggest Australia is headed the same way. QSC’s K Series is no ordinary powered speaker.

Quite simply it’s the most powerful, technically advanced, sonically superior portable system ever created! And all at a price that’s less than you’re thinking.

• 1000w Amplifier Pack
• 3 Inputs (XLR, Jack and RCA – iPod/CD/Mixer)
• DSP for more vocal and/or bass
• Extensively braced ABS enclosure
• Tilt-Direct”! pole mounting

Spectacular on paper but would K-Series work for you? If you are in Sydney and would like to come in for a K Series demo please let us know.

From today until the end of this March we will throw in a pair of Athletic speaker stands and dual stand bag with each pair of QSC K speakers sold. That’s nearly $200 worth of extras!

You may ask why you would need to condition your power. Reasons include:

• AC power being contaminated with noise. Additional noise is added by your everyday appliances degrading the performance of your sensitive audio / video components.

• daily electrical surges and spikes putting your equipment at risk.

In a nutshell a good power conditioner:

• filters and cleans incoming AC power and dramatically improves your equipment’s performance. Audio sounds better and your picture looks cleaner.

• increases the longevity of your connected components since contaminated AC add wear and tear to power supplies and other internal circuits.

• protects your equipment from damaging AC events such as surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.

From today until the end of this February we will throw in a combination of 4 of the IEC cables below with every power conditioner sold

The roots of Cannon Sound And Light lay in hire way back in the early 80’s. Due to what appears to be a strong demand around our local area (the ‘insular Peninsular’) we will be resurrecting our hire department as of about now. The shortly to be published hire menu will include such items as PA, DJ and party packages and components, portable PA systems, wireless microphones, lighting and some back line. Stay tuned!

With the Aussie Dollar being so strong at the moment prices on some of the big brands have dropped. If you’ve been recently thinking about purchasing Allen & Heath, DBX, Crown or Shure (to name but a few affected brands) now may be a good time.

If you loved the look of the Shure 55SH but not it’s performance then you be glad to learn of the release of the Super 55 Deluxe, a blend of classic 1930’s architecture with todays technology! This is the ‘ 65 Ford Mustag’ of the microphone world. According to Scott Sullivan, Shure’s Senior Director of Global Product Management, “Everybody loves the look of the 55SH Series II, but sound engineers increasingly find that they need additional clarity and gain-before-feedback. Now people don’t have to choose between style and performance – the Super 55 provides equal measures of both.” We at Cannon have roadtested these new cool looking mics in a live situation and can vouch for Shure’s claims.
