er. The evolution e 965, Sennheiser's multi-award-winning large-diaphragm condenser microphone, is now available as a wireless version. The MMK 965-1 microphone capsule attaches to both Sennheiser's 2000 Series and evolution wireless G3 wireless series SKM handheld transmitters in seconds, allowing users of both series to enjoy the unique dual-diaphragm advantage of Sennheiser’s e 965 microphone. Sennheiser’s ew 500-965 G3 system, which is part of the evolution wireless G3 series, is based around the MMK 965-1 and ships with the EM 500 G3 receiver, a GA 3 rack-mount kit, and the SKM 500 G3 transmitter with the MMK 965-1 capsule.
"The e 965 is the flagship microphone in the wired evolution 900 Series," explained Ben Escobedo, associate product manager for music industry products at Sennheiser Electronic Corporation. "Ever since this microphone was released to the market, bands and vocalists have asked for a wireless version. We are now very pleased to be able to fulfill this demand. Additionally, artists are excited to experience a true-condenser microphone option for the evolution wireless G3 and 2000 Series."
The MMK 965-1 microphone capsule offers the natural and detailed audio reproduction of a large-diaphragm studio condenser. While the capsule has the delicacy to reproduce fine nuances, it also is optimized for use in the toughest live performances. Each true-condenser capsule is meticulously hand-assembled and individually tested in Germany.
The capsule features dual-diaphragm technology, which means it can be switched between cardioid and super-cardioid pick-up patterns with the flip of a switch. This allows the capsule to be perfectly adapted to any stage situation quickly and easily. The cardioid pattern provides a very natural sound, while the super-cardioid pattern offers optimum rejection of other sounds on stages with high volume levels. As the capsule becomes more directional at higher frequencies, it effectively reduces spillover from instruments, such as a drum kit, and therefore provides generous space for the vocals to develop and captivate any audience.
The MMK 965-1 microphone head is included with the evolution wireless ew 500-965 G3 vocal set, for unbeatable sound right out of the box. It also can be ordered separately for use with any SKM 2000 handheld or evolution wireless G3 handheld SKM transmitter. The microphone capsule is available in traditional black, classy nickel, and also in the unique blue "gunmetal" color of the Sennheiser’s evolution 900 Series.

| New low-frequency systems using JBL’s patented Differential Drive® woofers raise the total count of models in the AE Series to 46. ORLANDO, Florida – Further extending the versatility of its workhorse AE (Application Engineered) Series, JBL Professional is introducing five new subwoofer models: the ASB7118, ASB7128, ASB6115, ASB6125, and ASB6112. The five new models bring the total model count in the AE Series to 46, ranging from the eight recently introduced 2-way AE Compact models to the 33 original models introduced in 2002. As with all AE Series models these five new subwoofers are designed specifically for fixed installation sound reinforcement applications. These five new models include the very high output ASB7118 single 18-inch and ASB7128 dual 18-inch models, both utilizing the JBL 2269H ultra-long excursion transducer. The 2269H is a Differential Drive® dual 4- inch voice coil high output woofer rated at 2000W continuous pink noise. The compact ASB6115 single 15-inch and ASB6125 dual 15-inch models utilize the Differential Drive dual 3-inch voice coil 2265H transducer rated at 800W continuous pink noise. The ultra-compact ASB6112 is fitted with the all-new 12-inch 2263H 3-inch dual voice coil Differential Drive transducer, rated at 1000W continuous pink noise.

Input cups are fitted with screw terminals and a Neutrik® NL4 connector. Input cups used for the dual woofer models are user configurable to operate with the woofers in parallel or in desecrate mode. JBL offers two standard levels of weather resistance for AE Series loudspeakers. WRC is intended for outdoor placement where the loudspeaker will be sheltered from direct exposure to the elements. WRX is suited for direct exposure to the elements. As with previous AE Series models, these five new models are optimized for applications including theatrical sound design, auditoriums, worship facilities, live clubs, dance clubs, sports facilities and themed entertainment venues.
