WITH just a month before doors open the ACR Show draws the major end-users
ACR Show draws the major end-users: "WITH just a month before doors open, leading users of cooling equipment across the UK are registering to attend the forthcoming Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Show, which takes place at the NEC, 13-15 March 2012."
The organisers report keen interest from representatives of major companies such as ASDA, Boots, British Gas, Cargill Meats Europe, Co-operative Group, DHL, Gatwick Airport, John Lewis Partnership, National Rail, One Stop Stores, Pepsico, The Royal Navy, The Spice Trail , Spirit Pub Company, Tesco and Thorntons, to name a few.
The exhibition is the UK's only national showcase for developments in air conditioning and refrigeration technology and will showcase advances in products and services from over 100 top companies.
It provides a not-to-be-missed opportunity for the trade and companies which rely on cooling to get up-to-speed with the very latest developments across the sector.
Neil Frost of The Co-operative Group, said: "I am coming with several colleagues to see the latest developments in refrigeration, including remote and integral cabinets, compressor packs and condensing units. Efficiency is a key issue for us.
"My company is looking to move away from HFC refrigerants and the show will give us a good insight into the latest developments in alternative technologies, such as carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. It will also be a good place to meet up with contacts and suppliers and generally keep in touch."
Kevin Sizer of British Gas said: "I am keen to see how technology has moved on - in particular in relation to heat pumps. It is a really important and rapidly developing area.
"It will be interesting to see the extent to which efficiencies have improved recently. The ACR Show provides a really good opportunity to get up to date with developments in this field."
The show includes a comprehensive seminar programme, which takes place in twin auditoriums on the exhibition floor. Key sessions in the technical programme include:
Where now for the big supermarkets? (presented by representatives of the UK's leading food retail chains); Upskilling to take advantage of the growing heat pumps market (John Roe, HRP Ltd); The implications of the Retail Refrigeration Code of Conduct (Bob Arthur, refrigeration technologist, Marks and Spencer).
Hot topics to be discussed in the business programme include: The future potential of renewables in buildings (Tim Pollard, Head of Sustainability, Wolseley UK); Complying with the law on air conditioning inspection and certification; HFO refrigerants - the solution waiting in the wings?.
The full programme includes 30 must-attend sessions on cutting-edge topics, enabling visitors to get up-to-speed with the most important developments across the air conditioning and refrigeration sector.
Visitors can pre-register to attend the show via the show website, with free access to seminars on a first-come, first-served basis.
A Student Trail on the last day of the show (15 March), will give new industry entrants an opportunity to talk to leading companies and catch up with the latest technical and commercial developments as part of a pre-planned programme.
Visitors will be able to see the latest offering from well-known companies such as: AHT Cooling Systems, Bitzer UK, Danfoss, Dorin, Emerson Climate Technologies, Frascold, Fujitsu General (UK) , GEA Searle, Gram (UK), Hoshizaki, HRP, Hubbard, J&E Hall International, Javac, Mexichem Fluor, National Refrigerants, Oceanair, Sabroe, Teknic Refrigeration, Thermofrost Cryo and Carrier UK.

Produce pumping tracks that stand out from the crowd FREQue II
FREQue II: "Produce pumping tracks that stand out from the crowd with the FwS FREQue II (pronounced "freak"), a genuinely new and inspirational analogue effects processor.
"In a world filled with plug-ins that do everything, the FREQue II is a processor that few, if any, plug-ins can emulate. The FREQue II is truly a sound designer’s dream. It’ll chew up program material like nothing else out there!" (Alex Artaud review)"
The Effects:
With low frequency modulation inputs:
Simple to complex autopan effects, gating, amplitude modulation, flanging, spatialising
With mid frequency modulation inputs:
Vocoding type effects, adding tunable harmonics, both lower down to subsonic, and up to supersonic, second harmonic distortion (like valves/tubes), harmonising, retuning percussion, gating, general rich distortion, Sci-Fi voices (eg a Dalek)
With high frequency modulation inputs:
Transposition with distortion, adding glitter, air, sparkle etc when mixed back into original
With music or sounds into both inputs:
Vocoding effects, gating effects, fattening/thickening effects, spatial effects, weird transformations
Internal FM:
Frequency Modulation of modulation oscillator at all frequencies, giving effects ranging from slow pulsation to the classic FM generation of complex waveforms
External voltage control of oscillators:
Envelope follower effects, FM effects as above, randomised autopanning
Frequency shift:
Up and down shift of frequency with change in harmonic structure, with FM for sliding effects, using feedback loop to create filter type sweeps
DACS FREQue II Application Ideas
This section is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all that can be done with the FREQue II. Rather it is a list of starting points for you to begin experiments from. Using the FREQue II, producers and engineers can almost infinitely extend the voices of their existing battery of synthesisers and sound generators and create vast ranges of completely new sounds, add depth and warmth to early digital synthesisers, give drums new power, radically transform voices...
Some treatments will require mixing with the original signal and some will need to be kept separate. For example adding distortion to a continuous sound will need mixing while gating effects will not.
Tone and Music
Set Up
Feed a stable tone, or a slightly varying one, into the MOD input and the music or tune into the MUSIC input. The MOD input could be from the internal oscillator. If the MOD input is harmonically related to the key of the music the OUTPUT will tend to be harmonic e.g. the MOD input is a D and the music is in the key of D, then the output will tend to be harmonically rich. If the MOD input is not related, then the output will be rough, bell like and/or noisy depending on the frequency of the input.
Try this...
Use held chords that have a certain amount of vibrato - as the pitch of the chords varies so the harmonic content of the sound will vary
Vary the MOD frequency to generate sliding upper and lower harmonics
Use randomly generated frequencies from synthesisers on MOD input
Try varying the edge controls contrariwise i.e. turn one up as you turn the other down, to produce stereo effects
Have a go at the 1st oscillator range to produce gating effects, the 2nd range to produce tremolo effects, the 3rd range to produce heavy modulation effects while the 4th range will produce higher and higher harmonic effects
Drums
Set Up
Feed percussive sounds into the MUSIC input and tones or other sounds into the MOD input. The MUSIC input will then act as a trigger and give a gating effect, only producing OUTPUT when the MUSIC input signal is present.
Try this...
Vary the MOD input frequency to produce output harmonically related to the music
Feed the melody into the MOD input and the percussion will 'play the tune', or at least tend to go up and down with it
Feed any old music to the MOD to produce an effect similar to scratching
Feed the MOD input with carefully selected samples synchronised with the percussive sounds
Using the FREQue II's oscillator set on the 2nd or 3rd range generate deep deep bass sub harmonics on bass drums
Using the oscillator set on the 4th range generate grain, grit and glitter on snares, hi hats, cymbals, maracas
Vocal inputs
Set Up
Feed your voice into the MUSIC input and feed a variety of signals into the MOD input - music, tone, noise...
Try this...
Use the voice to gate the MOD inputs
Use the voice as a percussion imitator to produce hot rhythm sections from modulated MOD inputs
Try the 1st range to produce gating and heavy breathing effects, the 2nd range to produce tremolo and panting effects, the 3rd range to produce heavy modulation effects (Dalek/sci-fi voices among others) while the 4th range will produce higher and higher harmonic effects
Same signal or L & R of stereo into both inputs
Set Up
Feed the same signal or the left and right of a stereo signal into the MUSIC and MOD inputs.
Try this...
Mix the output into the original signal to harmonically enhance the signal
Left and right inputs into MOD and MUSIC inputs respectively on both modules can produce phasing and other spectral phenomena, particularly if the spectral controls are varied
Try varying the edge and/or weight controls contrariwise i.e. turn one up as you turn the other down, to produce stereo effects
Delay/feedback
Set Up
Use a delay line to process signals going in to or out from the units
Try this...
Feed audio out back to MUSIC input via delay at tempo or multiple of tempo
Do the above with long decays on the end of sounds
Split the signal to both inputs and use delay line on one input to produce weird flanging effects on output, pan both outputs centrally or left and right
Multiple Modulation
Set Up
Feed music into the MUSIC input of one modulator and use the internal oscillator to modulate it. Take this OUT to the MUSIC input of the second modulator and modulate it with the same internal oscillator. The result is that the original signal is reconstituted and additional higher partials are also added.

Clarity HeadLite 2 - Standard 4 input, 4 output amplifier with input selection for each amplifier
Clarity HeadLite 2 - Standard: "The HeadLite 2 was officially launched at the 2007 AES Convention in New York. It is a 4 input, 4 output amplifier with input selection for each amplifier. Like its predecessor (the HeadLite), it offers the ability to drive any impedance of headphone to the headphone's maximum output level, if required, without distortion.
This upgraded version features new ICs that significantly improve the unit's overall performance, particularly into low impedance headphones. Input sensitivity is now set using two self cleaning push button switches on the rear panel, rather than the internal adjustment of the predecessor.
HeadLite 2 also features conductive plastic pots, an upgraded selector switch and a balanced input option using the THAT InGenius® IC."
