PK SOUND has released an installation-focused iteration of Trinity, its flagship large-format line array element that’s housed in a discreet all-black enclosure.
Trinity Install’s output can be controlled with variable coverage in both the vertical and horizontal planes. Intelligibility can be improved by directing the system’s energy away from reflective surfaces as coverage is adjusted to meet the architectural design of the venue.
“Trinity Install delivers the impact and operational advantages of our flagship array family to high-performance installs in a fixed position, with our sleek, clean, and uncompromising new all-black design,” says Darryl Ross, Senior Applications Support for PK SOUND. “The response from our network and clients so far has been very encouraging, as partners can now offer a solution for concert venues, theatres, nightclubs, houses of worship, and other live event spaces that want the full PK experience for their performers and patrons.”
The vertical angles are set during installation using a fixed rigging system, while horizontal angles are locked into one of 22 symmetric or asymmetric configurations throughout a line source. A combination of FIR and IIR filters are applied to help smooth frequency response in the listening area.
Horn-loaded 12-inch transducers manage low-frequency response, while the mid-frequency band is supported by four 6.5-inch midrange transducers affixed to a patented Coherent Midrange Integrator (CMI). Two dual-diaphragm high-frequency transducers, coupled directly to an integrated planar waveguide, are designed to reduce distortion across the high-frequency band. These components are driven by a class D power amplifier stated to deliver up to 6,000 watts.
The CMI waveguide combines mid and high frequencies, and working in tandem with precisely spaced low-frequency apertures, allows for variable adjustability from 60 to 120 degrees both symmetrically and asymmetrically so that designers can vary the radial directivity of individual modules within the array to enhance overall system performance.
