Alcons Audio has launched the LR18B, a dedicated low-frequency extension to its LR18 compact mid-sized pro-ribbon line array system. It can also be combined with any other Alcons pro-ribbon system, as subwoofer in both permanent and portable applications.
The LR18B is designed for optimal deployment flexibility, as it can be used as single subwoofer or in multiples; As end-fire or cardioid array; Together with LR18 or in separate sub-only arrays. All functionality is possible in stacked or flown configurations.
The integrated stand mount adapter provides for easy top/sub combinations with any Alcons pro-ribbon system.
The front-loaded system promises super accurate bass and sub response with high output under low distortion. The Max-Vent port design combines further increased output with low power compression.
Adding to the flexibility, the versatile rigging system, rated for a high WorkingLoadLimit with 10:1 safety ratio, enables front and rear array splaying and straight or pre-curved flown (cardioid) arrays, to be flown besides or behind an LR18 array. Array configurations can be simulated through the LR18 GLL in the Alcons Ribbon Calculator (ARC), Alcons’ high-resolution 3D simulation program.
The LR18B is to be driven and controlled by the ALC Sentinel amplified loudspeaker controller; Driven by the ALC, the LR18B delivers full operation flexibility, maximum sound quality and output power with long-term reliability.
The Signal Integrity Sensing pre-wiring ensures complete cable/connector compensation between the LR18B and ALC, significantly increasing response accuracy and reducing both linear and non-linear distortion to an absolute minimum, regardless of cable length and system impedance.
