134 GUIDE - loudspeaker cabinets
NEXO | 45ºN-12
www.nexo.fr
Nexo’s 45ºN-12 monitor loudspeaker introduces a radical new concept in stage sound that of line monitoring, which brings the operational benefits of line-array design onto the stage itself. The revolutionary Nexo 45ºN-12 uses Nexo’s patented Hyperbolic Reflective Wavesource to create virtual acoustic sources behind the enclosure itself and below the stage, using reflection rather than coercion to determine the shape of the wavefront. Unlike a conventional high frequency waveguide in which the exit is rectangular, the Nexo monitor’s waveguide forms a ‘smile’, enabling cabinets to be linked together to form arrays without interference between wavefronts. The 45ºN-12’s design produces a very sharply defined dispersion pattern, as well as exceptional feedback rejection and a huge improvement in terms of level before feedback. The focused coverage results in lower acoustic power on stage. SPL and frequency response are consistent up to 2.5 metres back. The 45ºN-12 uses an ingenious magnetic locking system to join multiple monitors together, allowing scalability for both coverage and SPL level. Aesthetically pleasing as well as technically innovative, its compact, low-profile design is less conspicuous than conventional monitors (ideal for live TV production), and the cabinet features a non-slip base with a skid system and ergonomic handle for easy repositioning on stage.
OHM | SATURN
www.ohm.co.uk
Saturns are compact high-powered full range cabinets containing an advanced woofer and a coaxial compression driver on a rotatable CD horn with 60° x 40° dispersion angles. To ensure maximum flexibility and to get the optimum performance the enclosures have 12 carefully positioned mounting points, these with the rotatable horn allows the cabinets to be mounted in any orientation. A large port minimises the breathing noises and gives maximum output on the tuning frequency with minimal compression. Whilst intended mainly as an installa- tion unit the enclosure includes two ergonomic handles allowing easy handling when out on the road. A kick-proof steel grill finished with reticulated black foam and a stainless steel OHM logo means that the components are protected from the rigours of use and whilst being transported. The top hat allows the cabinets to be used with various OHM subwoofer cabinets in a sub sat system configuration. Signal input is via eight pole speakon connectors linked through to allow multiple daisy-chaining in the unpowered version. An OHM three channel DSP amplifier can be mounted into the cabinets making the units self powered or externally in a required area of the installation.
OUTLINE | ISM 212
www.outline.it
The Outline iSM 212 is a self-powered, DSP-controlled, full-range loudspeaker designed for stage monitoring applications. LF are repro- duced by a pair of 12-inch reflex-loaded transducer, whilst the HF utilises a 1.4-inch throat compression driver fitted with a 3-inch titanium diaphragm, exiting the cabinet via a folded wave guide (an Outline patent). When floor-mounted and driven at peak amplifier power the iSM 212 will deliver a maximum SPL of 140dB. The external dimensions are extremely compact, particularly the vertical height which is just 32.5cm. The iSM 212 is equipped with Outline’s proprietary iMode Technology. Utilised extensively throughout the Outline range, iMode is a truly ‘intelligent’ digital loudspeaker control platform which combines advanced digital signal processing and TCP / IP protocol to provide comprehensive control capabilities and a huge choice of interface devices. Users have real-time control over a series of parameter (levels, delay, EQ, shelving filters) and can also select one of the four presets. iMode allows the user to monitor performance parameters through- out the system by using an iPad or via any standard web browser (with no special software required) just as one would navigate a website. The series also includes iSM 112 and 115 models.
PEECKER SOUND | UPTURNED T SERIES
www.peeckersound.com
Created by the Peecker Sound design team, the Upturned T series is an innovative and radical audio solution compared to the traditional way of conceiving sound reproduction. The series consists of two column speakers, PSUT8TE and PSUT8AE, each equipped with eight 4-inch full-range loudspeakers, the PSUTBASE/A active subwoofer, the ideal base for amplifying up to two column elements thanks to the plug ‘n’ play connectors, the single PSUT1 module and its companion dual subwoofer PSUTS – the last two being the perfect solution for background music or for sound reinforcement in smaller venues. The PSUT8TE unit is a 98cm tall column speaker with a power handling capacity of 400W RMS, designed for sound reinforcement in contexts requiring a long throw and good intelligibility, including multimedia installations for shows and exhibitions of various types, as well as multi-purpose halls, convention and trade fair centres, cinemas, but also in entertainment and performance venues. The PSUT8AE unit is designed to be positioned between the base (the amplified subwoofer, see below) and the top element to create acoustic continuity between the two elements. It has the same power handling capacity as the top unit but it has a shorter throw while, at the same time, a wider horizontal opening. The PSUTBASE/A self-powered subwoofer (800+800 W RMS with a powerful DSP on board) can drive up to two stacked column elements, which are connected to the subwoofer by means of a solid hooking system and a connector that excludes the need for any external cable. When configured in an array the Upturned T Series pro- duces exceptional horizontal dispersion - a full 150°. This is achieved thanks to the special mixed arrangement of the various transducers.
