Renkus-Heinz to Introduce New Iconyx Passive Array Systems at AES
Renkus-Heinz will introduce the IC7 self-powered and ICX7 non-powered Iconyx array systems at the 121st AES Convention in San Francisco.
With hundreds of installations in museums, courtrooms and houses of worship around the world, Renkus-Heinz’ Iconyx Digitally Controlled Array Systems have proven their ability to solve architectural and acoustic problems.
Unlike their predecessors, the IC7 and ICX7 are passive arrays with fixed beams that can be mechanically steered. The IC7 is self-powered and the ICX7 is designed for use with an external amplifier. Both feature seven high performance 4 inch coaxial transducers in an architecturally transparent enclosure that is only 44 3/8” (112.7 cm) tall, 5 11/16” (14.5 cm) wide and 4 3/8” (11.1 cm) deep.
They supplement the digitally steered Iconyx array systems in venues needing side and front fill, and offer a low cost solution in other “short throw” applications.
Iconyx digitally controlled array systems use advanced technology to provide natural music and intelligible speech in the highly reverberant environments typically associated with architecturally distinguished buildings. Their slender “thin stick” vertical profile mounts flat to the wall, blending easily with both classical and contemporary architecture. The integrated system inside provides a powerful new solution for consultants, contractors and architects who need precise control of acoustic energy. Iconyx “Transparent Technology” delivers intelligible, musical sound in houses of worship, transportation terminals and similar venues. Iconyx also offers a new approach for performing arts centers, large-screen audiovisual systems, piano bars and other applications.
The self-powered IC7 incorporates a network-ready PF series Intelligent Digital Amplifier. A switching power supply and integrated Speaker Specific Processing make the PF series ideal for use inside a loudspeaker cabinet: it is light in weight and 93% efficient, eliminating the need for a cooling fan. The optional network input enables digital signal distribution via CobraNet® along with the R-Control Remote System Management application, and multi-band EQ for system tuning and commissioning – all via a single Ethernet cable.
David Rahn, Renkus-Heinz U.S. national sales manager, said: “One of the greatest things about Renkus-Heinz is our ability to read and react to market trends and input from our supporters. The new IC7 and ICX7 are the direct result of our close communication with the designers and installers that have been using our Iconyx steerable array systems. These new additions to the Iconyx family make us an even more attractive and affordable option for many of today’s demanding applications.
