The SC-30 is the compact entry to the S-Series: thirty individually amplified transducers in a column 430 mm tall, giving four independently shaped beams where a conventional column of this size would offer one fixed pattern. It is the cabinet chosen for Sydney Trains platforms, where horizontal mounting keeps announcements on the platform and off the tracks opposite.
Everything the larger columns do — 3-D wavefront shaping, network control, Dante or AES3 input, the monitored version for voice-alarm applications — is present in the SC-30. Where more output or lower vertical control frequency is needed, the SC-60 and SC-90 use the same drivers in taller cabinets.
