AtlasIED ALX-8D Digitally Steerable, Multichannel 8-Speaker Column Array Loudspeaker

In the most challenging acoustical environments – whether in vast modern passenger terminals, or traditional houses of worship – AtlasIED Aimline loudspeakers precisely control directivity in the vertical axis, resulting in optimal coverage and the best possible direct-to-reverberant ratio, for enhanced intelligibility. Acoustic output is precisely aimed where it needs to be delivered, to the audience, significantly reducing reflections from hard surfaces.

The AtlasIED ALX-8D range comprises digitally steerable, multichannel array loudspeaker systems for the commercial installation market. Designed for applications with problematic acoustics, the combination of advanced steering algorithms, powerful DSP, and efficient amplification gives the system designer a unique set of tools for controlling sound in large, acoustically challenging, highly reverberant spaces.

With IP connectivity and Dante as standard, ALX-8D negates the need for  cumbersome external interfaces and network bridges normally associated with existing digital beam steering offerings. Each transducer has its own  DSP and amplifier channel resulting in the ability to tailor beams in very granular increments and allow acute steering capability. To further optimize venue coverage and performance, the acoustic center can be adjusted over the entirety of the column length, and independent split beams can be deployed if necessary.

Each of the seven ALX-D models are made up of identical modules to create arrays of up to 5m (16ft) in length. This avoids the need to ship and receive long columns.

The software is fully integrated allowing real time control, telemetry, and beam steering optimization, all in a single software package. All configuration and addressing functions are fully automatic. Interoperability with AtlasIED GCK advanced notification application software allows the ALX-D series to integrate as part of the AtlasIED GLOBALCOM ecosystem.

For applications where critical messaging is paramount, we must provide the features required to meet worldwide legislative and safety standards. AtlasIED Aimline Series is designed for use in emergency sound systems, providing the most resolute telemetry and protection of any digital beam-steering product. Very clear and intelligible messages are critical; it is vitally important that the message is clearly understood the first time, for both instructional and emergency scenarios in public buildings and transportation hubs.

The diminutive narrow cabinet and discreet mounting hardware will seamlessly blend into the most architecturally sensitive spaces, inside or outside.
