What is it?:
A range of self-powered DSP-controlled column speakers that can be electronically made to ‘aim’ the vertical sound beam and throw it to exactly where you want it to go.
What’s so good about that?:
Clarity and intelligibility is the key to good sound - the ability to steer sound exactly where you want it (and critically to prevent it from going where you don’t) is a major factor to providing this - particularly important in highly reverberant buildings (such as many churches!). Sound coverage is also evened out to provide a more uniform volume coverage from front to back. This allows the speakers to be installed flat on a wall but still aim sound downwards or be hidden at high level and still steered correctly. The ideal solution for providing high quality, clear and intelligible speech in acoustically difficult environments.
How does it work?:
Each PanBeam speaker is equipped with eight or more custom made driver units with digital processing (DSP’s) and eight or more digital power amps. Advanced algorithms allow the individual speaker drivers to be combined (‘phased’) in such a way that the high frequency vertical sound dispersion can be very accurately controlled.
And another thing...
In some situations you can even point PanBeam speakers in two directions at the same time! (e.g. ground floor and balcony)
