Schertler Group Introduces ROY and TEDDY at Frankfurt Musikmesse and Prolight + SoundThis year's Frankfurt Musikmesse / Prolight + Sound provides a launchpad for the Schertler Group's latest products, as ROY and TEDDY are added to the company's regularly expanding portfolio. ROY is Schertler's new top-of-the-range combo amplifier for acoustic instruments. The 400W, seven-channel amp provides a powerful yet lightweight system that is perfect for both stage and studio. ROY includes four input channels with various mic / instrument combinations; inserts (as on a professional mixer); three-band EQ and phantom power; an additional unbalanced instrument input channel; a stereo input channel for playback devices and an FX return / additional input channel. ROY has the same hi-end Class A preamp found in other Schertler amplifiers. Its Master section features both a digital reverb and a new digital multi-effect (on a separate bus), as well as DI/line/aux outs and a headphone preamp. Specially developed for theatre and concert sound applications, TEDDY is Schertler's new 200W compact stage monitor. Its "low profile" design is ideal for edge-of-stage use without impeding audience views. TEDDY features a coaxial speaker for constant sound directivity, with a specific inclination angle that makes it ideal for both standing and seated performances. For more extensive stage coverage, several units can be chained together using XLR input and output connectors -- all connected to the same signal path. An intuitive control panel includes a single sensitivity knob for adjusting the signal level from -9dB to +6dB (enabling finer regulation of the signal sent from the mixer), an EQ switch with two pre-shaped curves and a ground lift switch. Following its 2016 release, Schertler's ARTHUR modular mixer returns to Frankfurt with several new modules. ARTHUR offers both audio professionals and performing musicians a mixer that they can configure and build to suit specific recording and live sound requirements. Additions to the current range of input and output modules include a new multiple input unit (with four-line channels), a master EQ unit, a new sub group Class A summing amp and a spring (reverb) unit. The latter is designed for use both as an ARTHUR module and as a stand-alone reverb. Other more established products making a return to Frankfurt include Schertler's TIM and TOM compact portable PA systems and the UNICO 250W acoustic amplifier, whose 10" woofer and optimized bass reflex construction makes it ideal for a range of acoustic instruments and as a crossover amp for electric guitars.
