Description:

The digitally stereable column speaker Ascolto FF1670 is particularly suitable to ensure an extended coverage in large environments, such as auditoriums, churches with long aisles, cathedrals, basilicas and in general where it needs simultaneously a very incisive beam and a bright tone, capable to transmit perfectly voice as well as music.


The multibeam DSP filtering technology steers the vertical radiation patterns, matching the desired listening pattern, making column speaker Ascolto FF1670 high directive and featuring the main propagation lobes less dependent on the frequency.


Key features

  • Multi Beams Forming up-to 5 independent audio beams.
  • Vertical tilting / broading control of audio beams with AVE Line Array User Control Software.
  • Anti-Reverberation System ARS to increase the speech intelligibility index STI in reverberant environments.
  • 2 DSP units at 145 MHz - 48 bit to process 8audio channels.
  • 16 coaxial loudspeakers, each one 4" neodymium woofer + 1" dome tweeter.
  • 16 x 70 Wrms class-D audio amplifiers with high efficiency (90%) for respect to energy consumption.
