Outstanding Sound Quality
Unequalled Versatility
Tho RL-8 use advanced technologyand application-driven engineering to bring live sound closer to the ultimate reference point(reality)in demanding environments.Fully integrated electro-acoustic systems withal elements optimized deliver superior fidelity and coverage.Wherever the superior performance demanded by the audiences and operators cannot be met with conventional horizontal loudspeaker arrays,a RL-8 line array is the logical choice.
Applications
·Virtually any application where outstsnding sonic performance is required and sound level aud coverage needs cannot be satisfied with a conventional horizontal loudspeaker array.
·Sound reinforcement systems in Houses of Worship,performing Arts Centers,ports Arenas,Theaters andother similar venues.
·Portable concert sound systems for both small and large venues
A Few Words About Line Arrays & Lsophasic Plane Wave Generation
Line Arrays offer a solution to theacoustical problems posed and to the need for high output devices that can cover a large,deep area without ” tearing the heads off ” those seated or standing in the front row.
The stacking of multiple loudspeakers in a vertical line array compresses the loudspeaker’s normal 40 or 60 degree vertical dispersion into a flat pie shaped sound wedge having very narrow vertical dispersion.This means more of the sound can be directed onto the audience, a highly desirable attribute in reverberant spaces.
The compressed (flattened) output of line arrays also takes on the characteristics of a plane wave and the sound level doesn’t fall off nearly as fast with distance. Spherical sound waves fall off 6 dB every time the distance doubles while the output of well designed line arrays falls off far more slowly with distance.
Thi sline array effect, the narrowing vertical dispersion and the slower sound level fall off, is dependent upon the individual loudspeakers coupling together so they act as one This coupling is fairly easy to achieve at low frequencies because of the relatively long wave lengths involved, but becomes increasing difficult at the higher frequencies as the wave lengths become shorter and shorter.The solution is to convert the output of the high frequency transducers into a plane wave before they leave the loudspeaker enclosure so they will couple coherently with the other high frequency transducers.
The lsophasic plane Wave Generator with its Path Length Equalization Technology is the answer.lt assures a flat (planar)wave front that couples seamlessly with the other high frequency tranducers.
The horizontal dispersion of line array designs tends to narrow through the mid range transition from the woofers to the high frequency section. The Acoustic Diffractor Baffle overcomes this problem by providing diffraction loading through this critical region.
The result is a line array that delivers outstanding pattern control and performance across the entire frequency spectrum
