Renkus-Heinz has announced the launch of OmniBeam, the latest generation of its beam-steering technology that will be incorporated into the company’s entire steerable line of loudspeakers, and it will be showcased at the InfoComm 2023 show at booth 5645 and in demo room W221DE at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
Renkus-Heinz states that the new OmniBeam algorithm is the culmination of decades of development of steerable technology, replacing the previous approach of UniBeam to now deliver further optimized coverage and control.
“We are constantly thinking about what we can do to elevate our technology. The introduction of OmniBeam takes our product line to the next level by delivering coverage previously untapped,” says Renkus-Heinz product manager Brandon Heinz. “Anyone can use OmniBeam, and everyone should. It’s like a giant ‘easy’ button for configuring steerable arrays. OmniBeam changes the way we hear sound, and everyone should experience that.”
Ralph Heinz, CTO at Renkus-Heinz, was instrumental in the development of OmniBeam, and he notes, “The driving philosophy behind OmniBeam was to give consultants and integrators back their time. By taking the rocket science out of simulating and commissioning steerable arrays, Renkus-Heinz has demonstrated how beam steering is suitable for more than just reverberant spaces — they’re as simple to deploy as point and shoot.”
