The AtlasIED ALX-48D is a powerful, digitally steerable column loudspeaker engineered to deliver superior speech intelligibility and precision audio coverage in acoustically challenging environments. Whether installed in expansive transportation terminals or architecturally sensitive spaces like houses of worship, the ALX-48D ensures that sound reaches the audience clearly and accurately—minimizing reflections from hard surfaces and maximizing clarity.

Part of the AtlasIED Aimline Series, the ALX-48D combines advanced beam steering algorithms, dedicated DSP and amplification for each transducer, and real-time control software to give system designers unmatched flexibility. The system is modular and scalable, with identical modules stackable into arrays up to 5 meters (16 feet) in height, eliminating shipping constraints of long enclosures.

With native IP networking, Dante®, AES/EBU, and analog input support, the ALX-48D removes the need for external interfaces or bridges. Multiple independent beams and adjustable acoustic centers allow fine-tuned control for large or segmented spaces, and the system integrates seamlessly into AtlasIED’s GLOBALCOM® GCK platform for emergency messaging and mass notification.

Designed to meet global safety and intelligibility standards, the ALX-48D delivers mission-critical clarity in life-safety and paging systems. The slim, corrosion-resistant aluminum housing and discreet mounting options ensure it fits unobtrusively into even the most demanding architectural settings—indoors or out.
