QUAD has launched the standmount Elegan 1 and floorstanding Elegan 2. Newly developed woven-Kevlar drivers, Linkwitz-Riley acoustic crossovers and model-specific cabinets underpin a range priced from GBP749 per pair.
Monitor Audio has introduced a bespoke finish programme for its Hyphn flagship, offering more than 200 matte, gloss and metallic colours. Each cabinet is hand painted in the UK; engineering remains unchanged and pricing rises to GBP80,250 per speaker.
Sennheiser has released Spectera firmware 1.4. A Command Button can now handle push-to-talk, push-to-mute and talkback duties, while the WebUI adds clearer RF, battery, interference and audio-level monitoring.
Wisconsin's Mabel Tainter Theater has installed EAW AC6 ADAPTive arrays. Pattern control addresses its irregular auditorium, while custom metallic paint and hand-applied grille stencilling preserve the appearance of the 1889 interior.
Selfridges has renewed audio across its London VIP floor. Klipsch + Ojas loudspeakers form a visual centrepiece, with Martin Audio, Bowers & Wilkins and AUDAC serving individual rooms through a Dante network and Bose Professional processing.
