AudioFocus has unveiled its ARRoCC constant curvature loudspeaker series, offering a PA solution for medium throw sound reinforcement.
The ARRoCC system comprises the wide coverage CC210W cabinet and its narrow coverage twin, the CC210N, plus the high-powered 118S compact subwoofer. Each house a pair of V-mounted 10-inch LF transducers with Tetracoil double voice coils for additional power, precision control, improved impulse response and handling of transients. A 4-inch titanium diaphragm HF compression driver allows a lower crosspoint, resulting in better dispersion and control down to lower frequencies. Both cabinets achieve a peak SPL of 135dB and a frequency response of 55Hz–19kHz.
CC210W and CC210N offer 25° x 90° and 12.5° x 90° coverage respectively, and can be deployed either vertically or horizontally according to the needs of the event. ARRoCC is the first system to incorporate Audiofocus’ 3D printed SEVERIN precision waveguide for rigid definition of coverage patterns, ensuring the optimal listening experience for all audience members. Directivity can be adjusted further thanks to a forthcoming adjustable horn plug option.
‘With ARROCC we’re ready to challenge the market leading constant curvature arrays on power and performance,’ says Audiofocus founder and CEO, Ann Leroy. ‘Opting for a twin 10-inch layout over a single, larger transducer has given us higher SPL and more control, especially with the power and fidelity boost gained from Tetracoil technology. We also specified a much larger HF driver than comparable designs, giving us a definite edge on intelligibility and vocal clarity.’
The accompanying 118S compact 18-inch subwoofer has been developed to complement the ARRoCC series and rigging system. Designed to deliver optimum power in a modest footprint, 118S has a frequency range of 30Hz–100Hz with a peak SPL of 135dB.
ARRoCC loudspeakers are offered in self-powered and passive versions. Multiple self-powered cabinets can be managed remotely from any device via Audiofocus’ SCiO browser-based software.
‘ARRoCC is a fantastic option for rental and events companies looking for a practical, modular toolkit that excels in scenarios ranging from a small civic reception to a full live band performance,’ says Sales Manager, Håkan Sjöö. ‘ARRoCC also scales really well, so a PA company could start out with a couple of pole-mounted CC210W speakers and keep investing in cabinets and subs as they win more ambitious projects.’
ARRoCC is supported by a comprehensive system of accessories, allowing boxes to be stacked or flown in numerous configurations to fit a variety of applications. Optional brackets enable pole, wall, and ceiling mounting. The CC210W and CC210N speakers can also be combined in multiple ways to achieve the desired coverage pattern.
As all Audiofocus products, ARRoCC is manufactured at the company’s headquarters in Achêne, Belgium.
