Alcons Audio reveals its potential on the DELTA13.4-DSP
A DELTA13.4-DSP amplifier is the perfect drive to replace 2 or 4 ALC4 power amplifiers. For the users the performance increase in the sub range just like in the high/mid range of the line arrays
is a true revelation.
The effect of the missing sense return is neglectable. Owing to the load stable dynamics, the 3-D sound image and the clean, controlled reproduction even with high levels and over the entire frequency bandwidth, the systems receive an enormous quality push, also with the Hoellstern® amplifiers driven in a 4 x 2 ohms operating mode.
In practice the overall improvements bring about key benefits.
Any questions regarding the upgrade? Please contact us in writing.

DELTA12.2 and DELTA12.2-DSP

As of now the new Hoellstern® DELTA12.2 and DELTA12.2-DSP 2-channel amplifiers are ready for sale.
Their output power is 2 x 2,2 kW into 8 ohms, 2 x 4,4 kW into 4 ohms and up to 2 x 8 kW into 2 ohms
with a peak current of 2 x 125 A.
The amplifiers weigh 10 kg in a 2 RU enclosure of 30 cm depth. Because of their high efficiency,
a 16 A mains connection is sufficient.
In practice the relatively small no-load current and the high efficiency will result in lower mains
requirements and reduced energy needs.
Like with all Hoellstern® amplifiers the sound properties are on a high level.
Due to the modest fan noises they can also be used at industrial events.
Astonishing:
"We set up the Danley today with DELTA14.4-DSP so we can hear what it really sounds like;
The amplifier is astonishing, certainly the best PA amplifier I have ever heard.
Maybe even as good as my favourite high end hi-fi amp!
Thank you!"

"I know these monitors could sound better!"
A nice anecdote from a hip recording studio in the Zurich area:
Prince Rogers Nelson dropped by this August after a concert for some recordings and commented on the sound of the studio monitors "I know these monitors could sound better!"
Not without reason the studio crew had already got scent of Hoellstern® amplifiers some time ago through the Swiss-based Tucton company.
Without further ado Tucton had to deliver an amplifier from their demo pool to the studio.
The bottom line was: "Hey man, that's it!"
You need to know that the multi-talented artist runs his own studios in the USA.
Large GOA festival
A Hoellstern® AMP city with DELTA13.4 and DELTA14.4 was used this summer to amplify a very large GOA festival.
Just like in 2010, both the organisers and visitors were very pleased with the performance of the entire sound system.

AudioEthics has been the sole distributor for Hoellstern® amplifiers in India since April 2011
"Mr. MEJO C.JOSE from AudioEthics speaks my language" - thus we can briefly outline the market development in India appropriately. In doing so "my language" has to be understood in a triple sense:
besides English there are more than 100 local languages in India, grouped into four language families - which in itself is already a challenge -, on the other hand the technical "official" pro audio language is of great importance for the dialogue with the user, and thirdly there is still the language of Hoellstern® Amplifiers.
Udo Höllstern, CEO of Hoellstern® Amplifiers, says:
"We are very delighted to have found such a professional partner for India. We are facing a positive trend well prepared and are convinced that AudioEthics is going to position our "made in Germany" premium-class products in India through competence and the existing distribution network in a successful manner.
The know-how of AudioEthics as to audio amplifiers and pro audio is on a high level and hence ideal to market our products in the long run with a correct service and expert advice."
Slim 8 KW amplifier solution for 4 to 16 ohms: DELTA8.4-DSP

From 4-way monitoring to full-fledged front PA applications, ASID GmbH presents a new Hoellstern® power amplifier: the DELTA 8.4-DSP. With a built-in 4-channel DSP, remote control option, free DSP configuration, powerful and stable outputs plus all IN and OUT protections of the DELTA amplifier series.
In "ON" mode each of the 4 channels of the DELTA 8.4-DSP delivers 1,300 watts at 8 ohms and 1,700 watts at 6 ohms, in "OFF" mode the output power is 4 x 850 watts at 8 ohms or 4 x 1,700 watts at 4 ohms resp.
The proven Hoellstern® DSP loudspeaker management with 4 discrete audio inputs has also been integrated. The setups of the global manufacturer-independent Hoellstern® loudspeaker library are available free of charge. They raise the safety margin, facilitate your daily routine and are future-proof. Like all other Hoellstern® amplifiers, the DELTA 8.4-DSP may be comfortably operated via an RS-485 network under Windows and Mac using the free Konfigurator2™ software or configured and controlled via the Hoellstern AmplifierTeacher™.
Who doesn’t need the flexibility typical of Hoellstern® amplifiers (load stable down to 1 ohm with certain models) won’t have to pay for it, either. Owing to the current limitation to 35 ampères on the output side, the design of the DELTA 8.4-DSP with the same high quality level could be realised in a more cost-effective model. Looking at the resulting overall performance and its four separate inputs, under economic aspects the DELTA 8.4-DSP is a very interesting 4-channel amplifier for all loudspeaker systems. It is easy to operate, highly flexible and the constantly updated loudspeaker library will reduce your costs even further.
The new Hoellstern® DELTA 8.4-DSP rounds off the series of 4-channel amplifier models by Hoellstern® in a reasonable way.

Authorisation for the Korean market received: K-Mark certificate
In the 4th quarter of 2010 the products from Hoellstern Amplifiers have successfully passed all international
EMC and safety tests.
An important milestone of our international activities and another evidence for the quality of our products.
Konfigurator2™: The release of the first version ...
will take place within a few weeks in the 4th quarter of 2010.
During the past few months the Hoellstern team has tested extensively and, among other occupations, made the distribution partners familiar with the powerful functions. Some practical things have been added and improved since the demonstration at the Prolight & Sound 2010 - thank you very much for your constructive feedback.
Thus e.g. the integration of any desired loudspeaker systems in one (!) software interface and amplifier platform will open up new, promising horizons in the daily routine of sound reinforcement.
Essential factors are brought down to a common denominator.

Audiophile Cost Effectiveness: Hoellstern® DELTA13.4

The Hoellstern® DELTA13.4 amplifier will particularly please those users who don’t need the tremendous 5,000 watts output power at 2 ohms delivered by the DELTA14.4 amplifier.
In one operation mode each of the 4 channels of the DELTA13.4 amplifier provides 1,300 watts at 8 ohms or 3,800 watts at 2.7 ohms with the load stability that Hoellstern® amplifiers are known for. In the second operation mode it delivers an output power of 850 watts at 8 ohms or 3,400 watts at 2 ohms resp.
The DELTA13.4 amplifier is available with or without DSP loudspeaker management. The DSP option features four separate, simultaneously operative audio inputs, something which is compulsory for practice-oriented and cost-efficient monitor applications.
As to its weight, it ranks barely below the DELTA14.4 amplifier. Given its overall performance the Hoellstern® DELTA13.4(-DSP) amplifier should be extremely interesting for both permanent installations and technical service providers, and this not only for economic reasons.
Like all other Hoellstern® devices, the amplifier can be comfortably operated via an RS-485 network using the Konfigurator2™ software. The Hoellstern® loudspeaker library is equally available and can be easily used by drag & drop. Hence your cost-benefit calculation will work out fully.
Hoellstern Amplifier Day Wilhelma Stuttgart
In Stuttgart the new Hoellstern® Konfigurator2™ software was demonstrated and explained in detail to the audience which was principally involved in the permanent installation sector.
Despite their technical complexity, the freely configurable individual channels and the DSP architecture and also the Hoellstern® loudspeaker library can be operated with Konfigurator2™ in an easy, practice-oriented way.
We give thanks to all participants for your visit.
Our heartfelt thanks go also to the Wilhelma Theatre for their kind support.

Hoellstern Distributor for BeNeLux:
Tau Audio Solutions
One year ago, Hoellstern Amplifiers and Tau Audio Solutions from the Netherlands started to investigate the possibilities of a distribution in The Netherlands and BeNeLux.
Since April 1st, 2010 Tau Audio Solutions has taken over the exclusive distribution of Hoellstern Amplifiers for the entire BeNeLux area.
We are glad to have found a serious partner such as Tau for distributing our audio amplifiers in the ProAudio market. Tau Audio Solutions is in the position to serve the ProAudio market with our Hoellstern products.
Ron Vossen (CEO of Tau Audio Solutions):
"Tau was established in 1997, this month we have been in the business for 13 years. Starting out in the market niche of audio induction loop systems, we soon included 100V public address systems as well, followed by voice alarm systems. The nature of these products and business fields implicates that quite some time and effort were involved in advising our customers. We just can't deliver some amplifier without knowing exactly what the customer intends to do with it. Apparently we have chosen the right strategy because suppliers and customers appreciate this approach.
Brands we represent in the NL are:
Ampetronic since 1997, Australian Monitor, Baldwin Boxall and Penton since 2000 and Soundtube since 2004.
With a staff of 8 people we keep trying to improve in what we do.
As a reference for our quality of work:
Right now we are completing a project regarding an induction loop system for the Dutch parliament, the most important conference and congress room of our country."

Hoellstern Amplifier Days at the Prolight+Sound 2010
The Hoellstern Amplifier Days at the Prolight + Sound were used extensively by the visitors to establish and deepen personal contacts. The Hoellstern amplifier users could take a close look at and operate the comfortable Konfigurator2 software and the AmplifierTeacher during operation.
Besides the chance to create your own user setups, the expanding Hoellstern loudspeaker library may be accessed in a freely programming manner. Currently the brand-independent Hoellstern loudspeaker library is worldwide unique in this style and quality. The freely and reasonably selectable DSP architecture offers an enormous, future-proof flexibility and allows to utilise DSP setups of any given loudspeaker manufacturer in high quality. Due to the extremely short latency of 0.2 ms, all external controllers and power amplifiers can also be emulated with respect to their latencies.
It's reassuring to know that during the past three years the team of Hoellstern Amplifiers has measured and analysed more than 5,000 setups regardless of their brandnames.Thus we were able to build up a pretty comprehensive wealth of experience comprising all kinds of analogue and digital setups of many loudspeaker makers. This knowledge is successfully made available to the users free of charge in the form of the ample and steadily growing Hoellstern setup library, the Konfigurator1 and the new Konfigurator2 software: Hoellstern amplifiers as the universal platform.
As a computer-independent industry standard remote control, the long-awaited AmplifierTeacher is a rugged solution for monitoring and configuring Hoellstern amplifiers. Supported by control keys and a touchscreen, the rather large high-resolution, high-contrast display allows a comfortable picture and an easy operation requiring only a few menu levels. Owing to its RS-485 network capability several amplifiers may be run centrally. The operating temperature range between -25 °C and +70 °C is limited physically only by the high-quality industry display with its ¼ VGA presentation, i.e. the AmplifierTeacher will still perform where normal Windows and Mac computers go on strike already. The aluminium body, the 1 RU 19" mounting option, the USB interfaces plus an internal memory for 900 setups round off the economically priced AmplifierTeacher. The roll-out of the Konfigurator2 (Windows and MAC) and the AmplifierTeacher will begin in June 2010. For additional information please contact the Hoellstern team.
To all our visitors we would like to give our warm thanks for their great interest and the confidence shown to us.

Summer Never Ends Festival 2009
From July 30th until August 2nd 2009 the Summer Never Ends Festival took place in Switzerland.
Live acts and DJs from all over the world were performing nonstop action on two floors, playing electronic music from Elektro to Dark Psy.
http://www.summerneverends.ch/summer_never_ends/
In 2009 the sound technical planning and coordination lay in the hands of the Tucton company from Switzerland.
The open air mainfloor covered an area of 100 x 70 metres.
It was the stated aim to fill both floors with as little frequency response and SPL deviations as possible.
According to the organiser and all people involved the requirements were met to the utmost satisfaction or even surpassed.
All loudspeakers used were exclusively driven by Hoellstern power amplifiers.
The sound system for the open air mainfloor consisted of:
18 x Hoellstern DELTA14.4
30 x K&F Sequenza 10 linearray unit
24 x K&F Sequenza 10B subbass
14 x K&F Access B10 ultrasub
04 x K&F CA 1515 monitor
09 x K&F CD44 controller
The sound system for the dancefloor tent consisted of:
08 x Hoellstern DELTA7.2.2
12 x K&F Access B5
04 x K&F Access T5
04 x K&F CA 1515 monitor
07 x controller K&F CD 44
The entire sound system was running nonstop at high volume levels from Thursday 6 p.m. until Sunday 8 p.m.

The Hoellstern Setup Library is constantly updated and extended
As of now four setups (with and without LowCut) for the small Meyersound MM4 loudspeakers are also available. The equalisation and limiting functions of the Meyersound MM4-ECU controller have been very precisely emulated. No less than 64 of these midgets can be driven by one Hoellstern DELTA12.4(-DSP) 4-channel amplifier in SYM mode without exhausting its power limits. Thanks to this modern amplifier solution various analogue controllers and the necessary sense-return cabling can be dispensed with completely.
And by using the digital delay function you can also create typical delay lines (as they are commonly found with music and voice reproduction for theatres and industry) without the need for additional devices.
The benefits and utility are quite obvious: on balance, the expense, costs and sources of error can be greatly reduced with a Hoellstern DSP amplifier solution.
Furthermore, this application shows that even such tiny industry loudspeakers can be driven in a cost-efficient manner with a Hoellstern high-power amplifier.

Hoellstern Amplifiers with internal DSP
In connection with the Hoellstern setup libraries Hoellstern amplifiers make an innovative and highly profitable platform. By combining powerful electronics with setup libraries for a wide array of loudspeaker brands, Hoellstern users get an "open" system electronics able to drive any available loudspeaker systems. Classic external controllers and power amplifiers as well as power amps with built-in DSP may be replaced entirely by Hoellstern amplifiers.

3rd Hoellstern Amplifier Day near Berlin
The 3rd Hoellstern Amplifier Day was a highly informative experience for the invited guests. Especially impressive were the load stability and the high tonal level of the DELTA amplifiers, but also the precision of the Hoellstern setup emulations. Besides thorough technical information on the Hoellstern amplifiers and details about the product and company philosophy the visitors were shown how to operate the Konfigurator1 software, the extensive Hoellstern setup library comprising a wide range of manufacturers plus the hardware of the Hoellstern AmplifierTeacher which will be available by the end of 2009.
Our established A/B crosschecks with "on the fly" switching option were demonstrated in Berlin in a practical way on 3 exemplary setups:
- 12 T10 elements (line source configuration) with 8 Q-subs and 4 D12 power amps by d&b against one Hoellstern DELTA14.4-DSP amplifier.
It was impressive for the guests attending how one DELTA14.4-DSP with 2 RU and a weight of about 12 kg can replace four D12 power amplifiers with a total of 12 RU and a weight of approx. 52 kg with no losses in terms of audio quality.
Technical Info (PDF)
- 10 EAW KF730 elements with 6 Concert Audio ESX subs, EAW UX8800 controller and 2 LAB FP10000Q 4-channel amplifiers against 2 DELTA14.4-DSP.
Whereas LAB Endstufen power amps and 2 x 18" subs at 2 x 8 ohms (8 ohms per channel) revealed minor weaknesses regarding bass control, with Hoellstern amplifiers all visitors were noticing a subjective 4-6 dB level increase in the 2.7 ohms mode (3 x 18" subs with 2.7 ohms per channel) with a markedly improved bass control and came to the conclusion that at least 3 LAB Endstufen would be needed to achieve an approximate performance like 2 DELTA14.4s.
Technical Info (PDF)
- 4-channel NEXO PS15, 2 NEXO digital controllers NX241 and 2 Camco V6 power amplifiers A/B'd against a DELTA14.4-DSP with the analogue (TDMK2) and digital (NX241/2) PS15 setup emulation in 4-channel (4 IN 4 OUT) fullrange operation mode.
Here again it became obvious: using only one DELTA14.4-DSP amplifier, notable savings in weight, rackspace and costs are achievable without compromising in the least on audio quality.
Technical Info (PDF)
The Hoellstern team is giving a warm thankyou to all visitors.
We will continue to hold the Hoellstern Amplifier Days in 2010 once more. The dates will be announced in due time.
We are looking forward to meeting with you again

2. Hoellstern Amplifier Day in Stuttgart / Wilhelma Theater
"The amplifier is the engine and gearbox of a PA system"
On June 15th 2009 the 2nd Hoellstern Amplifier Day took place in Stuttgart. Already before the official opening at 4 pm many listeners and interested guests had gathered in the Studio room. Experts representing the business fields of event technology, technical service, permanent installation and theatre were on the scene.
In a direct A/B comparison with the original system electronics, the visitors were listening very closely to the systems from d&b and Nexo powered by Hoellstern amplifiers. Not only was the obvious precision of the Hoellstern setup emulations impressive, but also the A/B-demoed electrical stability of Hoellstern amplifiers at loads below 4 ohms striking. Until 9 pm A/B checks were conducted with almost no break and which is equally important comparisons made of acquisition costs, weight and truckspace. The practical listening and viewing brought the message home to the audience how easy and convenient it is to use Hoellstern amplifiers with built-in loudspeaker management and 300 setup memories. And one more point became very clear: the amplifier is the engine and gearbox of any sound system.
Their acoustic performance, 4 ultra-stable channels, a weight of 12 kg and a switchable 4-IN DSP controller with precise setup libraries for many loudspeaker manufacturers make Hoellstern amplifiers a truly audiophile, economic and versatile tool.
The Hoellstern team gives warm thanks to all visitors and is looking forward to the next listening reunion in Stuttgart 2010.
A special "thank you" goes out to the Wilhelma Theater Stuttgart for the uniquely beautiful ambience.
Advance notice 3rd Hoellstern Amplifier Day:
The 3rd Hoellstern Amplifier Day will be held in Berlin in September 2009. Once again, four products from various loudspeaker manufacturers will be used for the A/B comparison. Furthermore we will also demonstrate a 4-channel power amplifier A/B check with an external controller. Probably at least one large line array system will be at hand. Details will be published in the News section. You will also receive an invitation in writing.

Hoellstern Amplifier Day in Frankfurt
The Hoellstern Amplifier Day was a thorough success. Comparative listening checks were taking place until late in the evening.
We would like to thank all our guests for their keen interest.
For many visitors it was an impressive experience how accurate and clean the Hoellstern setup emulations and Hoellstern amplifiers sound in direct comparison. Audible distinctions resulted from the various power amplifier models of different manufacturers.
The listeners soon realized that the Hoellstern setup library along with the DSP option is a serious and economic solution.
One Hoellstern amplifier for all systems.
The second Hoellstern Amplifier Day will be held in Stuttgart on June 15th, 2009.
We will send out invitations in time and inform our readers under News.
Please reserve this date.
Invitation to the Hoellstern Amplifier Day
On April 1st 2009 we will be holding a Hoellstern Amplifier Day at the Congress Center Frankfurt (Maritim Hotel at the exhibition site, Hamburg Lounge, accessible through Hall 5.1).
Here our guests can listen to Hoellstern amplifiers in a pleasant mood and get the latest news
On this day we would like to demonstrate to you the sound of a Hoellstern DSP amplifier complete with setup as compared against system components and how easily all kinds of loudspeakers from different manufacturers can be driven by a Hoellstern amplifier on a high level.
With soft volume levels you will hear the following components at their dedicated system power amplifiers and system controllers compared against Hoellstern DSP amplifiers:
One stereo setup consisting of d&b Q7 top, Q-Sub with D12 power amplifiers.
One stereo setup consisting of the new EAW JFL210 top.
One stereo setup consisting of Kling&Freitag CA1515 top and SW215E sub plus CD44.

For comparison purposes we will deploy DELTA14.4-DSP and DELTA12.4-DSP amplifiers.
The applied setups are part of our setup library.
We are looking forward to your visit!
AmplifierTeacher
The "AmplifierTeacher" for operating the DSP option without a PC will be available from winter 2009. Owing to the longer development phase we were able to integrate a user-friendly technology into a compact case. Using an innovative display technology the AmplifierTeacher offers a very good readability under all conditions.

The 4-channel amplifier DELTA12.4 now features a second configurable operating mode which allows a bridged power output of more than 6 kW at 2 x 2 ohms.
In this symmetrical mode the DELTA12.4 will replace the DELTA 10.4.2 model.
The DELTA 12.4 amplifier is now flexibly configurable just like the DELTA 14.4 amplifier and thus perfectly suited for almost any applications.
Setups and information for DSP order option
Are you dreaming of manufacturer-independent audio amplifiers that are open to new trends while keeping up proven principles? For all loudspeakers one Hoellstern amplifier with built-in loudspeaker management.
We are working on it and have broken new soil here since mid 2007.
Our manufacturer-independent controller setups can be found under Download and Products.

Africa! Africa!
The international magic circus event (www.africancircus.de) from the continent of wonder - exclusively amplified by eight 4-channel Hoellstern DELTA power amplifiers.
  
DELTA14.4(-DSP) on the road
Since June 2007 Hoellstern 4-channel DELTA14.4(-DSP) amplifiers have driven successfully various Nexo Line Arrays Geo S and D plus Cardioid Subs CD12 and CD18.
8 RU of 4-channel Hoellstern amplifiers replace a full 16 RU of stereo amplifiers, i.e. reduced weight + cost + truckspace and increased overall performance. Built-in DSP available as an option.
(Nexo is a registered trademark of the respective rights holder.)
PS15 and PS10 powered by DELTA14.4-DSP
The European tourn 2007 of rock legend Lou Reed (USA) was successfully amplified using a 16-channel PS10 and PS15 monitoring powered by DELTA14.4-DSP.
With a latency of 0.2 ms, the internal 4 IN / 4 OUT 96 kHz DSP controller provides a directness with monitors that is only known from analogue controllers.

DELTA14.4 - Cool economists may show emotions
4 x 1350 watts at 8 ohms. 2 x 5000 watts at 2 ohms (channels 1/2) plus 2 x 2600 watts at 4 ohms (channels 3/4).
All housed in a 2 RU enclosure of 29 cm depth weighing only 12 kg. Like with all DELTA models, an integrated 4 in / 4 out 24 bit / 96 kHz loudspeaker management is optionally available.
This amplifier excels by extreme versatility and efficiency.
The DELTA 14.4 reduces dramatically the number of amplifiers otherwise needed and is perfect for systems between 2 and 16 ohms. In practical use its high and stable output power at 16 ohms down to 2 ohms will allow you to replace 2 or even 4 conventional power amplifiers.
Its audiophile sound properties and uncompromising manufacturing quality are of course identical with those of our other Hoellstern amplifiers.

New products
From December 31st, 2005, the models DELTA10.4.4 and DELTA7.2.2 will go into serial production.
The DELTA10.4.4 is designed for single-ended applications, where up to 4 channels with a max. output power of 2600 watts per channel are required.
The "small" DELTA7.2.2 is designed for 2-channel purposes and like all DELTA amplifiers delivers a souvereign performance at critical loads, owing to its derated 10 kW power supply. Together with the DELTA10.4.2 power amplifier you will get perfectly matched tools for demanding PA applications.
Preliminary information: new models - September 2005 -
From our designer workshop: By the end of 2005 we will expand the DELTA power amplifier series.
The 4-channel power amplifier DELTA 10.4.2 (total output power 11.000 watts, available since January 2004) will be joined by the model DELTA7.2.2. The new 2-channel power amplifier DELTA 7.2.2 will be produced in two versions with 1 and 2 HU rackmount cases. Sound properties, design and quality are identical with the DELTA 10.4.2.
Preliminary information: prolight+sound 2006 - September 2005 -
The upcoming prolight+sound 2006 shall be a platform for presenting our power amplifiers to you and keeping in touch with business friends. We are already looking forward to all our customers and potential buyers who are enthusiastic about our DELTA series.
