*** GS25 dual 15" super sub in action (July 20th 2010)
Recent weeks have seen our compact super-sub out and about from a few miles local down to Hereford.
In Hereford Cathedral the GS25 provided low end drive as part of a three-way system whilst closer to home
a village hall provided the recent setting for a compact two say system using the GS25 and V20 powered
by Shermann's 410A four channel anp.
Both gigs were well endowed in the lower end of the audio spectrum.
The GS25 is an amazing beast taking only a decent quality amp to drive it to ( previously) rarely encountered
low end performance.
Take a test drive of Shermann's new GS25.
** WHERE WILL YOU BE ON AUGUST 14th - THE CRASH FESTIVAL IN ABERMULE ???????????????????
OK, this is a plug - pure and simple.
The CRASH FESTIVAL in Abermule is definitely the place to be on AUGUST 14th - starts at midday.
13 or 14 bands and some other stuff too - many musical styles - great day out for the family.
Runs 'til midnight - it may be scorching - it might rain - bring a brolley - who cares!
New Shermann product in use too so it has to be worth a visit for a measely tenner (£5.00 for kids) - great value.
Come along on August 14th - have some fun - be entertained after all, we have bands coming from as far afield
as Huddersfield and Bath along with a shedload of local talent.
See poster here or festival website here - location will be signposted from all main roads on the day.
* 410A 4ch amp out again (July 1st 2010)
One of the top Mobile DJs from the mid-Wales area used Shermann's 4 channel power amp for a lengthy barn
dance gig on June 28th.
Matched with Shermann
cabs (4 x B800 and 2 x Gx600) the system covered over 700 young farmers - not known
for enjoying quiet evenings out.
According to Ian Friend who owns and operates New Generation Disco, the system performed faultlessly on the
night and to a far higher standard than with his original amplifiers.
Another box ticked for one of the best amps on the market.
* New large scale point source system (June 23rd 2010)
The sluggish return to popularity of point source systems to a market currently dominated by a variety of rather poor
line array boxes heralds the way for the superb new G1 system from Shermann.
Such is the importance we've given to the new "expandible" G1 system we even have a new domain name.
Just click on Shermann G1 to see a brief outline of the new system. - more to be added as days go by.
* Shermann amps - more glowing reports (June 23rd 2010)
Hereford Cathedral was the setting for a recent outing of our new 4 channel amp but this time it was accompanied
by the 218G 2 channel bass drive and the 204A 1U multi-purpose amplifier driving foldback.
At a multi-denominational event on Sunday June 20th our own system also using the our new GS25 subs, plus
M20 and M25 wedges, was used for a large congregation.
Reports
on the day were utterly positive and it was good to hear the amazing clarity present from this rather small
system within the fairly difficult acoustic environment of the Cathedral.
* Shermann 410A 4ch amp receives thumbs up - (June 4th 2010)
Used at Llangollen over the recent bank holiday weekend Shermann's new 4 ch' amplifier (410A) was coupled
to a pair of Shermann CA6 to drive low mid & mid/hi.
These cabs were paired with some unknown dual 18" sub boxes driven by a meaty old Chevin amp.
With an audience of over 700 the pairing worked a treat according to all who attended and in particular,
James Barber who owns the PA.
Watch out for more user comments soon.
* Shermann GS25, the bass cab that ticks all boxes - (May 27th 2010)
We bring you thunderously detailed low frequency drive!
Just 126mm taller than a GS18 with the same width and depth the all new twin 15" GS25 is different to virtually any
other dual 15" box.
The amazing quanitity of true low end drive is nothing short of amazing.
This all comes from an easily portable 2kw cabinet finished with all the usual thoroughly practical Shermann fittings.
No curved fronts or awkward shapes with this box.
It stacks and stores simply and efficiently in your van, in your unit and on stage.
It's affordable, high quality common sense bass drive with a host of extras.
* Shermann 410A power amplifier in stock - (May 21st 2010)
A little sooner than expected the 410A power amp has arrived.
1,000 watts (4 ohms) of crystal clear power with superb LF response thrown in for free.
Just 10Kgs and ready to go to drive 8 passive 8ohm wedges or biamped FOH systems.
Call us for a test drive.
* GS25 released in June - (May 17th 2010)
A totally new bass beast featuring the latest technology in neodymium drivers.
The GS25 is a compact cabinet designed to produce very low frequency drive in smaller systems.
It wil be a great touring cabinet for AV, theatres and the majority of smaller UK venues seating audiences of up to 600.
The GS25 will have a -3dB point of 34Hz however, from a vehicle stack viewpoint its gross external dimensions (including
the castors and skids)
are
just 890H x 530W x 720D.
Newly developed twin 15" drivers featuring a radial cone, roll surround and dual silicone spider offer a combined total of
2,000 watt AES handling.
Shermann's GS25 will be a great way to go gigging.
* GS28x released in July - (May 16th 2010)
Following on from the GS18x the thunderous GS28x will be available in a few weeks time.
With a future proof 3,400 watts of AES power handling the new cabinet will be built entirely from premium quality 24mm birch
plywood.
As expected, the standard model will be road-ready with our heavy duty TPC coating, six handles, four castors,
skid locators
for safe stacking, foam fronts and a heavy duty steel mesh grille.
With a -3dB point of 33 Hz the new box will be capable of bass delivery that most 21" drivers can't manage.
Fewer subs - reduced van loadings - improved low end performance = greater profits; for your company.
* GS18x moving air - (May 9th 2010)
The GS18x proves a point - buy the best and you get the best.
Offering the performance of many dual 18" boxes the compact GS18x and its astonishing 1700 watt driver can actually save you
money - and van/truck space.
The GS18x really is a fairly small cabinet more espcially when you consider its output capability.
We have just one sample pair at this time however, orders are being taken for its launch in July.
Also, watch out for the dual 18" version; the GS28x along with uprated versions of R Series bass drive models - the all new
R118x
(single 18") and R218x dual 18" model.
* New X8/500 dual 8" model - (April 30th 2010)
Early May we'll be releasing an interesting 8 ohm box.
As standard the X8/500 is a trapezoidal model equipped with a 35mm stand mount adaptor with optional foam fronts or flying track
fitted if required.
Using two 4ohm 8" drivers in series plus a 1" compression driver on a 90 x 60 horn the X8/500 will be Shermann's first dual 8" box
but one that's capable of being ordered in a horizontal format for installation c/w 8mm nut plates; ideal for low ceiling venues.
We'll also offer two standards of external finish - black TRC water based textured paint or Shermann's TPC heavy duty finish at extra
cost.
The X8/500 will be an ideal model for AV, presentations, churches, schools and smaller gigging duties.
Recommended for use with either the XB15/600 in general two way system or with the XB15/1200 for bass heavy events.
* NEW 4 channel Shermann Amp this month - (April 7th 2010)
1,000 watts per channel x 4 from a 10kg, 2U package - the Shermann 410AB will be available later this month to drive FOH or wedges.
During May we'll have the 410ABx fitted with comprehensive crossover and filtering too - more on that closer to release date.
Shermann amplifiers offer superb sound quality and are less expensive than most fashionable 'industry standard' models.
No frills, no weaknesses either - these amps deliver.

* Shermann totally firm on UK build - (March 25th 2010)
Contrary to some recent "rumours" heading around the industry Shermann has no plans to build off-shore.
It's always been a truly British product using European sourced components and it's staying that way.
One large guitar amplifier manufacturer in the USA has decided to bring it's product home recently and it's fairly
obvious why they've made that decision.
Shermann has never considered building outside the UK for numerous reasons with the main ones being quality
control and the high cost of importation.
It may be unfashionable to manufacture in Britain but it's the right thing to do for our customers and also makes good
financial sense in the Shermann boardroom.
* Shermann V20 multi-role box - (March 15th 2010)
We're always quite proud when we bring out a successful new model especially when it's incredibly well received however, there'll
always be one client for whom the box is not quite as he would like it.
This happened recently when demoing the M20 wedge when one customer stated "if that was a multi-role box I'd order it right now".
Well, we'd already decided to launch the low-profile multi-role version and here it is. (V20 intro' link)
....
Shermann's all-new V20 brings the low-profile benefits of the M20 using the same wedge angle to a multi -role model c/w flying track
and stand mount adaptor.
In addition to it's extremely favourable 35 degree angle the V20 also features a slightly less steep 45 degree angle.
Once again, no need for matched pairs because the driver is coaxial and fitted in the centre of the baffle board.
Also, no changing or switching of input plates either as the V20 is equipped with two dual input NL4 plates to allow the box to be used
as a wedge on either slope.
....
The V20 is a real winner in every respect.
It's a FOH box and a dual angle wedge which my be pole mounted or flown!.
The apex height of the V20 as a 35 degree wedge is just 22mm taller than the M20 yet it shares the same external dimensions - same flight
case size too.
If the M20, possibly the best 12" wedge on the market, isn't right for you the V20 multi-role version could certainly be the answer.
A V20 data sheet is now available.
Shermann Amplifiers - (March 6th 2010)
Yes, after many months of searching for the right product to sport the Shermann name we've found a small but excellent
range of amplifiers.
In April we're planning to have demo models in stock of the first which will be a fan cooled 1U model just 7" deep and
weighing a few kgs to be known as the Shermann 204AB.
The planned powering of bass systems has not been forgotten but will continue when we eventually complete our search
for a module capable of offering the quality we expect to drive Shermann products.
Click here for more information on the future range of Shermann amplification.
* M20 wedge for demo - (Feb' 19th 2010)
Try the new M20 wedge.
Call us for a demo and be confronted by a super compact monitor that sounds amazing and is ideally practical.
Why is it practical?
Simple; the M20 doesn't point towards the roof like other so called low-profile wedges.
It's angle has been tried and tested on previous designs
to great satisfaction and welcomed comment.
Call us for details and a demo.
* DJ Supplies take D Series - (Feb' 6th 2010)

cable from the monitor amp' rack.

limiting and a high pass filter at 60Hz.

'fantastic value'
these new Shermann models really accomplish all jobs with ease.

You'll find the data sheet here.
* New Year 2010 - (Dec' 31st 2009)
It's time to wish everyone a prosperous new year.
Also time to remind you that Shermann is one of the few pro-audio manufacturers who still build products in the UK - and we're
very proud to do so.
With so many cheap and cheerful loudspeakers coming in to the country, many of which will be in land-fill sites by this time next year,
we're thankful to continue our regime of continued quality improvements in both design and finished products.
It's not just cabinet building.
We actively seek out the very best components to be used the highest percentage of which are of European manufacture with just a
few percent sourced from the USA and elsewhere.
During 2010 make sure you give Shermann some serious thought as your touring or gigging system.
Installation too - we have the products many of which are supplied with special finishes and rigging hardware.
We're here to help so please call us on 01686 622997 or email info@shermann.com.
* Coaxial 15" stage wedge arrives - (Dec' 20th 2009)
Shermann's M25 super low profile stage wedge is here, albeit in prototype form.
The high efficiency 15" coaxial driver we've used is a superb piece of European engineering however, in terms of price the M25 will be
be less expensive than the older, larger MRL5.
We've also added a special link facility called "Link-Onwards" using an additional pair of NL4 sockets wired from input pins 2+ 2- of the
main input NL4T
connectors.
This link allows a single four core cable to be used from your amp rack to drive four wedges (2 x 4ohm) with no special cables
required as long as all subsequent cabling has wiring to pins 1+ 1-.
"Link-Onwards" has the added advantage of reducing the quantity of on-stage wiring.
Shermann's M25 - born from experience and demand.
Click here - see the preliminary M25 data sheet and details of the new "Link-Onwards" facility.
* Successful 2 x 18" bass cab offer extended - (Dec' 11th 2009)
Because it's so close to Christmas we're spreading good tidings with our R218B and GS28 dual 18" deal and extending
the ordering time frame until
the end of January.
To be perfectly honest, the main reason for the extension has been the initial take-up of our offer and the fact that we're rather
inundated as December is limited to a three week manufacturing month.

boxes.
