Belgian loudspeaker manufacturer Audiofocus has launched ELIZ 210, a compact, versatile line array series targetting rental companies, performance venues and houses of worship.
Like other recent Audiofocus releases, ELIZ 210 employs V mounted twin 10-inch Tetracoil Double Voice Coil LF transducers for low-end performance, precision control, faster impulse response and tight transient handling. The LF design is complemented by a next-generation 4-inch titanium diaphragm HF compression driver, selected for its linearity and mid-band clarity. A preliminary SPL figure of 140dB Mtone has been given for the series, with a frequency response of 55Hz-19kHz.
The 90° x 8° dispersion of each ELIZ 210 cabinet can be adjusted to 70° using the M-Flexion system of custom 3-D printed magnetized ABS horn plugs. These horn plugs can be inserted and removed without tools, allowing the same ELIZ system to be quickly tailored to the coverage requirements of different spaces, or to manage reflections from hard surfaces.
‘As the first line array in our new generation of systems, ELIZ represents an important landmark for Audiofocus,’ says company CEO and founder, Ann Leroy. ‘We had two key objectives for this project. The first was to create a high-performance 2x 10-inch line array that we are proud to hang alongside the most elite rivals in its class. The second was to distil years of real-world feedback from rental companies and venues into a system that delivers superior results with faster setup, easier transport, and less loudspeaker inventory.’
Alongside the bi-amplified ELIZ 210, Audiofocus offers the self-powered ELIZ 210a variant with integral class-D amplifier and the ability to remotely monitor and control the system using its SCiO management software.
In addition to bearing the same audio signature and core components, ELIZ shares its rigging frame, hanging bar, and 118S subwoofer options with Audiofocus’ ARRoCC constant curvature series, allowing rental partners to assemble a cost-efficient, flexible inventory of loudspeakers and accessories capable of handling short, medium and long throw applications.
ELIZ is built on demand at Audiofocus’ Belgium HQ, and is available to demo and order.
