Evo-pbs Series
DSP-controlled, active, line array with adjustable vertical dispersion (beamforming).
The new Evo-pbs is a self-powered, modular line array speaker with adjustable dispersion characteristics. Depending on the size of the area to be covered, up to 10 modules can be linked together for a column length of 10 m, providing powerful and even coverage up to 100 m with truly full-range pattern control.
The Evo-pbs contains eight convection-cooled power amplifiers per module, providing sufficient power reserves even at high sound pressure levels.
Vertical sound dispersion can be configured into up to six independent beams with a dispersion of ±53°. Obstacles can be avoided because the acoustic centre of each beam can be allocated to any chosen speaker chassis. The beams can be focused to beam angles of between 14° - 90° for one module (3° - 90° for five modules). Evo-pbs delivers class-leading fidelity and STI values, even in the most challenging acoustical environments.
