The Community I SERIES IV6-1122 is aesthetically designed for installed applications, indoors or out, IV6 is a scalable, adaptive system with multiple vertically arrayable elements designed to be used in combination or separately, and with or without splay between cabinets, providing an extensive range of vertical coverage angle and throw distance configurations.
Two carefully chosen array elements, 120 by 5 degrees and 120 by 15 degrees, are designed to overcome the physical limitations and acoustical tuning difficulties of conventional line arrays and constant-curvature (point source) arrays while maintaining the best qualities of each. Built-in Passive Acoustic Optimization (PAO) settings on the rear of each loudspeaker allow up to 55 different frequency response profiles to be independently selected for each element in the array.

The dBTechnologies VIO L208 is a 2-way active line array system equipped with dual 8-inch neodymium woofers and a 1.4-inch (3-inch voice coil) neodymium compression driver. The transducers are positioned behind an all-in-one panel that acts as a phase plug and a high-frequency horn. The waveguide behind this panel contributes to the creation of a cylindrical wavefront for enhanced high-frequency throw distance.
Each module is driven by a class D Digipro G3 900-watt amplifier module with auto-range power supply unit (PSU). Advanced processing with FIR filters foster a highly coherent emission. The wooden enclosure comes with a built-in rigging system made for simplicity and speed: a back central rigging strand allows the setting of relative splay angles directly in the dedicated transport cart.

The Fulcrum Acoustic FL283 is a subcardioid line array module intended for permanent installation in a wide range of venues. It includes dual 8-inch horn-loaded woofers and three 1.4-inch compression drivers in a compact enclosure. The enclosure is shaped to accommodate up to 20 degrees of splay between adjacent enclosures, allowing for more sharply curved arrays than comparable line arrays.
Each FL283 module is configured for full-range passive operation at 16 ohms, allowing up to eight units to be driven from a single power amplifier channel. Up to 12 modules may be suspended with a 10:1 design factor. The FL283 incorporates Fulcrum’s patented Passive Cardioid Technology to overcome excessive rear LF radiation, and it doesn’t require an additional amplifier channel or additional enclosure volume.

The Innovox HLA-2035P is a hybrid line array, the integration of a J-array loudspeaker and dipole directional low-frequency loudspeakers that are powered by four Powersoft internal 1,500-watt amplifiers with onboard DSP.
The J-array portion contains twenty 3.5-inch mid-frequency drivers and twenty ribbon high-frequency drivers, while the dipole has four 6.5-inch mid-bass drivers and two 15-inch high output low-frequency drivers in a unique staged configuration to extend vertical LF control.
The system has been preconfigured in an asymmetrical 35-degree (vertical) by 120-degree (horizontal) coverage pattern with vertical directivity to 96 Hz and low-frequency response to 50 Hz.Companion subwoofer: SCS-321 (three 21-inch woofers, cardioid, self-powered). innovoxaudio.com
Wavefront Precision (WPC) from Martin Audio is a medium-format optimized line array that brings innovative acoustic design, high performance and coverage consistency to a wider range of users, applications and budgets. Designed as a complete system with external iKON multi-channel amplifiers and optimized by automated DISPLAY software, WPC adopts the principle of scalable resolution that provides flexible levels of optimization for coverage, consistency and control.
A 3-way, bi-amp system, each enclosure includes 2 x 10-inch horn-loaded low-frequency drivers, 2 x 5-inch mid cones and 4 x 0.7-inch high-frequency drivers. These custom-engineered components are designed to raise efficiency and increase output, delivering stated peak SPL of 135 dB and 100-degree horizontal constant directivity dispersion. An integrated 3-point rigging system assures efficient construction ofarrays of up to 16 enclosures. Companion subwoofer: SXH218 (double 18-inch woofers). martin-audio.com
The RCF HDL28-A is a compact bi-amped 2-way active touring system with an emphasis on vocal intelligibility. It features two 8-inch woofers with a 3-inch titanium compression driver. The rich sound is the result of the time coherent waveguide and FiRPHASE DSP providing the zero-degree phase and highly linear amplitude response, as well as frequency response down to 50 Hz. Power is supplied by a class D amplifier rated to deliver 2,000 watts.
The integrated mechanics are fast and reconfigurable, allowing creation of J-shaped and spiral arrays. Cabinet angles can be adjusted on the ground before the system is hung and slipped automatically into the correct position as the array is pulled up. An optional cart provides ease of transport and setup. Companion subwoofer: TTS18-A (active 18-inch subwoofer). rcf.it
IC-LIVE X from Renkus-Heinz is an integrated system, redesigned from the ground up, offering two combinable steered-array modules – ICLX and ICLXL – and two matching subwoofers, ICLXS and ICLX118S. These units can be combined to create highly directional arrays that deliver high-impact, high-performance sound to the most challenging reverberant spaces.
The IC-LIVE X Series also incorporates the company’s exclusive Acoustic Source Multiplier (ASM) waveguide, enabling the high-frequency section to be coaxially mounted in front of the low-frequency section.
The ICLXL module comprises four 19-millimeter compression drivers on an ASM Waveguide coaxially mounted in front of four 8-inch woofers. The built-in amplifier has eight channels, each with its own dedicated DSP channel. The ICLXL by itself is fully steerable down to 750 Hz, and its quad woofer arrangement maintains significant pattern control down to lower frequencies.

Launched earlier this year, VERA20 is the first TW AUDiO line array to be available in both a production and installation version. New long-excursion 10-inch cone drivers and 1.4-inch compression drivers were developed specifically for VERA20. These drivers, along with a new waveguide and low crossover point, ensure precise and uniform coverage.
The VERA20i install version has fully integrated intercabinet hardware and is available in any RAL color. Both versions are available with either 80 or 120-degree horizontal dispersion and use logarithmic inter-cabinet angles that allow the array’s vertical dispersion to be more accurately tailored for the audience. VERA20i can be flown with the S17i subwoofer, which offers connections on the top and bottom rather than the back, allowing the installed array to be as unobtrusive as possible. Companion subwoofer: S32 cardioid (single 18-inch and 14-inch woofers); S17i (flyable) also available. twaudio.de
The VUE Audiotechnik al-Class delivers high-definition line array performance, with Truextent beryllium diaphragms and the latest transducer technologies included in every model in the range. This is joined by next-generation amplification and DSP architectures as well as onboard networking and full compatibility with VUEPoint beam steering.
Acoustic Linearity architecture featuring proprietary CST (Continuous Source Topology) technology enables the assembly of hybrid arrays by combining al-4, al-8, and al-12 acoustic elements for the vertical coverage any application requires. This design enables a high degree of system versatility because the arrays are optimized for every parameter, including coverage, sound pressure level, size and weight. All of this technology is packed into highly scalable designs capable of delivering superior sound quality and coverage control to applications ranging from live concerts to fixed installations and more.
