The new Sennheiser MO 2000 optical microphone offers a new type of transducer that processes acoustic signals on the basis of variations in light intensity, making it well suited for applications where other microphones are only partly (or not at all) effective. “By implementing the optical principle, both the microphone head and the electronics can be located far away from each other,” noted David McNutt, industry team manager-installed sound. “And to insure functionality in demanding environments the microphone head is…

The new Beyma Professional 18SW1600Nd is an 18-inch driver with the company’s patented HELICEX technology The HELICEX cooling system facilitates high-efficiency thermal dissipation, and as a result, very high power handling capacity and lower power compression losses. Exclusive Beyma NCR (Neck Coupling Reinforcement) membrane is designed to handle the high mechanical efforts that are applied to the mobile assembly at very high power levels. A die-cast aluminum spider ring provides strong base against the high tensions coming from the spider,…

The coaxial approach developed for the new Fulcrum Acoustic TQ install CX/DX loudspeaker products may look familiar, but there are a number of technical innovations which differentiate these from their predecessors. Like the legendary Altec 604, the CX/DX coaxial driver uses an integrated compression driver and woofer assembly. The similarity ends here. The basic design approach of most modern, high performance coaxial drivers is to mount a compression driver to the rear of a woofer, with the exit of the…
