Fulcrum Acoustic has released the AHS Series, a modular scalable system for applications where very high output and precise pattern control are required. This new series of products claims to represent ‘a leap forward’ in achieving digitally configurable coverage for long-throw applications, all within a compact envelope.
The AHS440 (45° horizontal beamwidth) uses four high-frequency horns, each paired with a coaxial compression driver. The AHS460 (60° horizontal beamwidth) uses three high-frequency horns. Both models incorporate four high-power 10-inch woofers loaded by Oculus phase plugs. The Compression Head extends the low frequency horn length, allowing for low frequency extension to 60Hz in a 28-inch depth.
Fulcrum Acoustic’s TQ Processing combined with beam-forming DSP algorithms configure AHS vertical dispersion to match a venue’s specific geometries and throw distances. Multiple high frequency horns combine coherently to provide the output necessary to combat high frequency air loss, which can be substantial in stadium-scale applications. AHS modules are designed to be stacked as needed to increase projection and control.
‘We’ve had ongoing requests from system designers for even higher output versions of our existing AH and AH4 products,’ says Fulcrum Acoustic Product Manager. Rich Frembes. ‘The AHS configurable vertical pattern allows dispersion to be tailored to a venue’s needs. Its modularity allows it to scale as needed to tackle very long-throw applications, such as those encountered in stadium end-zone/scoreboard deployments.’
