Alcons Audio arrives in UK theatre

With the arrival of the musical The Far Pavilions at London's Shaftsbury Theatre Orbital introduced Alcons ribbon loudspeakers to the West End stage.

With new high-resolution media coming up in a rapid pace, existing compression-driver based systems sometimes can't reproduce these data accurate enough. That's the main reason why Alcons Audio develops its systems with proprietary ribbon technology; a radically different, but proven way of reproducing mid and high frequencies, resulting in HiFi sound quality at concert sound pressure levels. Although the specifications of pro-ribbon transducers look pretty impressive, actually experiencing a concert or theatre performance through a pro-ribbon-loaded system is simply amazing!

Orbital stock a growing range of Alcons products including the range of Alcons Class-G amplifiers utilising user-friendly "plug & play" processing circuit for protection purposes rather than for camouflaging bad acoustic engineering.

Specified by sound designer Rick Clarke the Alcons products deliver a fantastic level of transparency due to their high power ribbon technology.
