Renkus-Heinz has released its UBX Series of column loudspekaers, incorporating UniBeam steerable technology (formerly the PCX Series).
The PCX Series expands on the Renkus-Heinz product range in the column array loudspeaker segment, complementing the company’s offerings in the architectural audio space where optimal intelligibility and minimum aesthetic impact are the driving concerns. Building on its flagship Iconyx self-powered steerable loudspeakers, the PCX Series provides A/V contractors, consultants and sound system engineers an additional solution in the shape of a unique passive loudspeaker.
‘The PCX Series brings the precise coverage, high intelligibility, and demonstrated sound quality of our flagship Iconyx loudspeakers to passive column arrays,’ says Renkus-Heinz CTO, Ralph Heinz. ‘Adding passive columns to our portfolio opens up new installation opportunities for our partners and introduces The Sound Solution of Renkus-Heinz to a broader spectrum of applications where intelligible sound matters most.’
Passive UniBeam technology addresses each transducer with a specially designed passive filter network to generate an asymmetrical vertical dispersion pattern, shaping the coverage downwards, and delivering consistent front-to-back coverage with minimal side lobe artefacts. The PCX Series uses 3-inch full-range neodymium drivers, ensuring a sleek and ultra-discrete appearance.
The PCX will be available in three different sizes on launch – the PCX4, PCX8 and PCX16. The combination of the included wall mount bracket (optional pan and tilt bracket) and Passive Unibeam will enable flush mounting in most applications. This results in the lowest possible architectural intrusion without compromising audio coverage.
All models in the PCX Series are weather resistant (IP64) as standard; salt spray and UV resistant, as well as subject to rigorous high/low operational temperature and humidity testing – making PCX Series ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments. Each model includes a gland/conduit knock-out input cover for security and enhanced weatherisation, and a high-quality, low insertion loss transformers with an easily accessible tap switch for 70V/100V constant voltage operation in larger, distributed audio systems.
Compatibility with Ease Focus 3 software allows system design and verification with predictable results within the environs of an industry standard software wizard.
