Sennheiser’s LSP 500 Pro wireless reinforcement loudspeaker eliminates the need for laying of cables and also provides simultaneous remote control of up to 20 loudspeakers via an iPadapp.
‘The app is a genuine labour-saving device for setting up PA systems at an event,’ says Sennheiser Integrated Systems Division Portfolio Manager, Martin Gurtner. ‘This user-friendly and efficient application makes the Sennheiser LSP 500 Pro loudspeaker the ideal partner for events of all sizes, such as congresses, galas or press conferences.’
The LSP 500 Pro app takes over the functions of a hardware system manager, invluding volume equaliser and delay. Configurations can be set either for individual speakers or for groups of speakers as well as for the audio sources connected to them.
Each LSP 500 Pro can accommodate up to three receivers for wireless microphones, and also has a combined socket for a 6.3mm jack and an XLR-3 connector for using a wired microphone. The loudspeaker is additionally equipped with a USB connector and a Bluetooth interface as well as an aux input and output. If more than one loudspeaker is being used, one of them can be defined as the master and then connected with the other speakers – the slaves – via a wireless link.
Every LSP 500 Pro has a built-in music player that enables music to be played directly from an external device via the USB connector or the Bluetooth interface. The music player also has a recording function which allows audio to be recorded directly on a USB device.
The loudspeaker has room for two rechargeable batteries but uses only one of them to supply power at any time. That ensures reliable operation and an operating period for the LSP 500 Pro of up to seven hours. The use of a second battery also allows the battery to be removed for recharging while the speaker is still in use. The current state of charge of each of the two batteries of a loudspeaker is shown continuously by the app, keeping the sound engineer informed about the power supply at all times. If a battery level becomes critically low, a warning is instantly displayed.
The LSP 500 Pro is compatible with microphones from Sennheiser’s evolution wireless 100, 300 and 500 series. It comes with a dust cover; a white cover, a padded protective cover and a trolley bag for secure transportation are available as accessories.
The Sennheiser LSP 500 Pro loudspeaker will be available from May 2013.
