As on-board systems have entered the domain of HD television and audiophile sound systems, pro-audio and broadcast levels of installation have now become the entry level for today s megayachts and cruise liners. This means there has never been a greater need and demand for a range of AV s that are capable of handling the legal and technical requirements of these systems without compromising the infrastructure and quality of the ship itself. From a safety and insurance point of view this range is type approved to American AMERICAN BUREAU OF SHIPPING Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Lloyd s* and Germanischer Lloyd (GL)*. The range is also constructed and compliant D E S I G N A S S E S S E D with IEC 60092 part 359 thus enhancing the ultimate cabling offer in marine AV media excellence. The Van Damme Marine range was originally developed some years ago to offer a bespoke solution to the then biggest private yacht in the world - the 416ft monster Octopus built at Lurssens shipyard in Germany. Van Damme Marine was also installed in the sister ships Tatoosh and Méduse. Van Damme was also used at the owner's personal recording studio and the Jimi Hendrix Experience Museum in Seattle. Since then major installations have followed at a steady rate, the range being used by yards such as Amels, Royal Huisman, Lurssens, de Vries and Royal Van Lent. Yachts such as Ronin, Katana, Katrion, Gu, Aviva (now Atlessa III) and Utopia to name but a few employed the ultimate AV cabling option.

So what sets Van Damme apart? Well, quite simply quality and heritage. Van Damme s history didn t start several years ago just by being installed in Octopus. The brand has been established for decades and is found at the heart of many of the world s top recording studios. Whether it is Abbey Road or Air Studios in London or Sting s or George Michael s private studios - Van Damme Studio Grade is the professional s choice when world class acts are being recorded. Oasis, Foo Fighters, AC/DC, Keane and many, many more. In broadcast Van Damme is the choice of the BBC, Sky, Bloomberg, CNN, Fox and BT OB. Van Damme is also employed in a wide variety of other diverse applications - from Aston Martin cars to Pentax endoscopy cabling to PRS Guitars to the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament. The range even claims military credibility by being installed by the MOD into the Eurofighter. With an enviable pedigree Van Damme has another major advantage for the world of marine installations. Having worked closely with world class AV system designers and installers such as Harris Grant Associates, Digitart and The story doesn t stop there - Van Damme Tour Grade has been the touring professional s choice for the likes of Coldplay, Radiohead, Icon Connect on recent builds we are very much aware that outstanding sonic quality is only half the solution.

They are primarily for use for guitar and bass guitar to amplifier applications. The construction of these s utilises a no compromise approach to materials and electrical characteristics; consequently flexibility is not a priority and these s are aimed at recording rather than live performance. The range comprises the following s: Lo-Cap 55: 55 p/f per metre. Low capacitance figure gives low high frequency roll off Flat-Cap 90: 90 p/f per metre. Mid range capacitance figure gives average high frequency roll off Hi-Cap 125: 125 p/f per metre. Higher capacitance figure gives more high frequency roll off accessories Notes Within this range of s capacitance is being used to produce different high frequency roll offs which affects the sound of the source instrument at its destination amplifier. Given the relatively low output level of a passive guitar pickup the can act as a high frequency roll off filter. The exaggerated capacitive effects of these s are only relevant with the comparatively low output level of passive guitar pick ups the use of high output level active pickups will reduce the difference between these three s. Overall capacitive effects will of course change over distance; a 10m Lo-Cap 55 would have a total capacitance of 550 pf as would a 4.4 metre Hi-Cap 125. Shorter lengths (up to 5 metres) are recommended for these s but where a longer run is required a lower capacitance should be considered for use. Fender Stratocaster - Iconic electric guitar designed by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Freddie Tavares in 1954, and manufactured continuously by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation to the present. The design of the Stratocaster has transcended the field of music to rank among the classic industrial designs of all time.

However, if you re recording with topquality gear and you want the most information to get from your guitar to your amp, with minimal colouration and signal degradation (not everybody does), this comes very highly recommended. [MT] Ours sound better than everyone else s! So says every manufacturer, presenting a wood-for-the-trees situation for us punters. Well then here s a thing a that explains why that sound is different, not necessarily better. There are two burning issues when it comes to guitar s. The first is minimising extraneous noise (the vast majority of quality s have that sorted) and the second is audio integrity, which is the biggest bone of contention. To the point: Van Damme s Lo-Cap 55 delivers 55p/F per metre, which is low in capacitance terms, and this therefore has minimal effect on high-end roll-off. Additionally, there are Flat-Cap and Hi-Cap versions available. Verdict With foamed polyethelene insulation, bare silver-plated pure oxygen-free copper wire for the conductor and second In Use If your guitar has regular single screen, this is a classy. coils or humbuckers (especially The Lo-Cap 55 will be overkill vintage types, but not active in the sonic melee of pub and pickups) the Lo-Cap 55 has a discernible tonal effect. We A/B d it with regular George L s, Planet Waves and Whirlwind leads of the same length using the new Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (reviewed on p104). Trebles are noticeably clearer and stronger partly what we expected but the more surprising revelation is the clearer, more solid bass. A simple difference, and plain to hear in studio conditions.

The Eros statue in Piccadilly Circus is made of Aluminium. One of the most abundant planetary metals as a compound (mainly bauxite); but also one of the most difficult to refine. Recycling 1Kg of aluminium can save up to 8Kg of bauxite, 4Kg of chemicals and 14 KWh of electricity. Often used for long high voltage transmission lines it is lighter than copper and reduces corona effect - the discharging of high potential electrical s. A 160cm cross section aluminium conductor has the same conductivity as 100cm of copper. accessories

J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works and made its first flight on 5th March 1936. During the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire was perceived by the public as the RAF fighter of the battle. It was built in many variants, using several wing configurations. Although the original airframe was designed to be powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine producing 1,030 hp, it was adaptable enough to use increasingly more powerful Merlin and the later Rolls-Royce Griffon engines; the latter was eventually able to produce 2,035 hp.
