JHS is now the distributors of Powerwerks, a comprehensive range of high-quality sound reinforcement products, designed in the USA and based on the immense knowledge and manufacturing expertise of the Hanser Music Group founded in 1924.
From the company’s impressive catalogue, new lines distributed by JHS include, 50, 200 and 300w, lightweight and highly portable, full-range, active Powered Towers, with built-in powered mixer, Bluetooth facilities and 24-bit digital processing.
Handy facilities included within the Powered Tower’s rear control panel, include a ‘Powerlink’ circuit to create a multi-Power Tower system and outputs for Powerwerks 400watt sub-woofer cabinets, loaded with an optional 10” or 12″ speaker format.
Sonic flexibility is also a specialty of the Powerwerks PW Series of high-powered active 1000watt cabinets, where again, the theme is lightweight compact and extremely portable. Offered with a choice of 10, 12 or 15″ speakers, all models feature Bluetooth connectivity and have visual appeal with illuminated logo.
Delivering up to 10 hours of uninterrupted music, the 40watt battery powered Powerwerks PW40BATBT, combines quality performance and convenient features into an extremely portable, all-in-one package.
Also powered by AC mains, the front facing control panel features separate Mic/Aux channels, individual volume/2 band EQ, Master Volume and Powerlink circuits to add multiple units. With Bluetooth facilities streaming music with a range of up to 33 feet, the PW40BATBT is one of the most versatile ‘take it anywhere’ P.A. systems on the market.
With a long-throw and size-defying output, the 50watt Powerwerks active PW4P, equipped with an Eminence speaker, is the ideal personal monitor, mic stand mountable or used as a floor wedge.
The underlying theme throughout all Powerwerks products is indeed compact, portable and extremely adaptable, witnessed again with the sleek attractive 4 and 6 channel mixers with XLR and 1/4in inputs and optional digital FX.
Ted Burger, President, Hanser Music Group says, “Powerwerks is continuing to expand its market reach in the world by cultivating relationships with agile, innovative distributors. We have high expectations that our collaboration with JHS will be key to the growth and success of the Powerwerks brand in many European territories.”
JHS Managing Director Dennis Drumm commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Powerwerks as manufacturers of high-quality sound reinforcement products into the JHS family and are extremely proud to be representing this incredibly innovative company with a forward-thinking approach, within the UK, the Republic of Ireland, France, Benelux and Germany.”
