Beam-steering loudspeakers

SL-60

Slim-line 60-channel column for wide, shallow rooms.

Sixty transducers in a 1,290 mm slim column only 147 mm deep. Eight SL-60s cover Mastercard's New York headquarters alongside SQ-90s and SS-3s in a room with an RT60 above six seconds.

The SL-60 is the slim column for wide, shallow rooms and long delays: sixty individually amplified transducers in a line 1,290 mm tall and 147 mm deep. At Mastercard’s New York headquarters eight SL-60s work with eight SQ-90s and two SS-3 subwoofers in a space with a reverberation time above six seconds; EDC reports a speech transmission index above 0.85, a result the client said they “would not have believed if proved in advance”.

Questions about the S-Series

What is the frequency range?
The SC columns are rated 100 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) and the SQ-90 and slim SL columns 80 Hz to 20 kHz. The SS-1 and SS-3 subwoofers extend the system to 25 Hz. Datasheets are on each product page.
How loud are they?
Published figures are 95 dB (SC-30), 101 dB (SC-60) and 104 dB (SC-90) at 10 metres for a single cabinet, and 106 dB at 16 metres for the SQ-90, configuration dependent; cabinets cluster horizontally and vertically to form larger arrays that behave as a single source. Peak and continuous figures with a stated measurement method are being added to every datasheet.
Can they be used outdoors?
A weatherised version of each model is available with stainless-steel and aluminium hardware, a waterproof grille lining and IP65-rated network and power connectors. The enclosure's IEC 60529 rating and operating temperature range are being confirmed for publication; ask us for the current statement before specifying an exposed installation.
Do they take Dante or AES3 digital audio?
Every model has an analogue XLR line input and output as standard, with an optional AES3 stereo input or an RJ45 Dante input. Ethernet control and monitoring is standard. Channel mapping, AES67 mode and clocking details are being documented on the Dante and AES67 page.
How are they mounted?
Columns carry eight M10 points and can be mounted vertically or horizontally with the U-brackets; subwoofers carry sixteen M10 points and a pole socket; the SQ-90 uses side and rear rigging tubes and the touring rigging frame. Rigging drawings are in Resources; working-load limits are being added.
Can the system report faults?
A monitored version reports transducer, thermal and amplifier faults over the network, and the cabinets carry an inbuilt measurement microphone. This is the version specified for transport and voice-alarm applications; the interface is being documented for integrators on the developer pages.
