Description:

The digitally stereable column speaker Ascolto FF2470 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 FF2470 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 Software.
  • Anti-Reverberation System ARS to increase the speech intelligibility index STI in reverberant environments.
  • 3 DSP units at 145 MHz - 48 bit to process 24 audio channels.
  • 24 coaxial loudspeakers, each one 4" neodymium woofer + 1" dome tweeter.
  • 24 x 70 Wrms class-D audio amplifiers with high efficiency (90%) for respect to energy consumption.
  • 1350 W high-reliable power supply with universal mains input (90-264 VAC) and compliance to IEC/EN 60601-1-2.
  • Multiple audio inputs including: Line, 100 V, (optional) DANTE input.
  • Delay control up-to 50 m.
  • User Equalizer with highpass, lowpass, shelving and PEQ filters.
  • Music Adaptive Equalizer for the best graceful musical listening.
  • Ready for external media control such as Crestron, AMX, ect.
