Alcons at Integrated Systems Europe 2009
Playing on home-turf, Alcons Audio will be exhibiting their pro-ribbon sound systems at the forthcoming Integrated Systems Europe show in Amsterdam. For the first time, Alcons will display different product groups at the same time: The general product line and the AV / Digital Cinema product line.
Main focus will be on two recently introduced products: the CR1 ultra-compact AV/Digital Cinema sound system. The 3-way sound system consists of a 12" side-vented woofer, 6.5" vented mid-range driver and RBN401 pro-ribbon driver packed in a 18cm/7-in. ultra-shallow MDF enclosure. It is designed to provide medium output, high quality A/V sound reproduction, for cinema theatres, board-rooms, home theatres and residential sound systems.
The other highlighted product will be the LR7 micro pro-ribbon line-array, latest and smallest member of Alcons' successful pro-ribbon line-arrays. Featuring a single 6.5" woofer and the Alcons RBN401 4" pro-ribbon driver in a 15-degree vertical projection configuration. The 16 ohms impedance and a choice of 90-degree or 120-degree horizontal projection, makes the LR7 ideal for A/V projects, where very compact form factor with perfect line-array throw and imaging are required.
Another featured product is the QR36 pro-ribbon column array system. The Q-series scalable ribbon-array columns can popularly be seen as a "cross-over product" of the ease-of-use of a traditional point-source loudspeaker and the throw and control of a J-curved line-array system. The series has been designed as solution to obtain excellent coverage and ultimate intelligibility over longer distances in "acoustically challenging" environments. Applications include churches, reverberant halls, and any application where beam-steering solutions doesn't bring the desired SPL and frequency response.
All Alcons systems are available in Color Option, for excellent interior matching.
Also a selection of other Alcons products will be on the stand, including the VR8 monitors and BF151 subwoofers for low-SPL demonstrations.
