Louisiana's Warren J. Harang Jr. Municipal Auditorium has replaced its long-serving system with Crest Audio Versarray Pro. Twenty 112 line-array modules work with six flown 215 and two ground-based 218 subwoofers in a permanent system serving speech, community events, and concerts.
Bondi Icebergs Club in Sydney has rebuilt its audio around JBL Control 25AV, 29AV, and 424 loudspeakers, Crown amplification, and BSS BLU-100 processing. The zoned system moves between daily ambience, DJs, bands, and simultaneous functions across the renovated venue.
Extron has introduced the single-gang BT 100 AT D Bluetooth Dante interface. It carries full-duplex smartphone call audio and stereo playback onto a Dante network, receives power by PoE, and exposes pairing, volume, and transport control locally, by RS-232, or over the network.
Ceva and Actions Technology have announced the ATS296X audio SoC family using Ceva's Bluetooth High Data Throughput platform. HDT is intended to lift peak throughput from roughly 2Mbps to 7.5Mbps, enabling lossless, low-latency, and multichannel links for wireless speakers and subwoofers.
Spanish loudspeaker maker Audionostrum will give its Saturn flagship its Asian premiere at the 2026 Hong Kong High-End AV Show. The large multichannel design will be demonstrated as a complete playback system, creating its first substantial audition opportunity outside Europe.
