An OLinemodule uses2 x 89mm reflexloaded,mid/low radiators either sideof a centralstrip of 5 x14mm HF devices ina
unique,patentpendingarrangementwithaspacingofonly21mmbetweeneachelement.
Theresultissidelobefreevertical
dispersionfromthehighfrequency section.The‘cones’ofthetwocustomdesignedLFdriversaresculptedfromanultralight,
stiff material and precisely follow the ideal contour of the HF horn walls (patent pending). This provides constant horizontal
directivityfromlowmid,
rightuptoextremehighfrequencies.
RatherthanapplyingDSPtoatraditionalcolumn,OLine’sverticalbeamformingisachievedbyphysicallyarticulatingindividual
arraymodules to curvethe array.The actualarray configuration fora specificvenue is determinedby powerful optimisation
software, which makes intelligent judgements about
the ‘goodness’ of the array’s SPL distribution against objective target
functions.
OLinearraysareconstructedbysimplyconnectingindividualmodulestogetherincolumnlengthsof4to24unitsasdetermined
bythesoftware.
OLine modules are finished in a neutral light grey and combine to form aesthetically pleasing,
variable length arrays, of
outstandingaudioqualitythatwillenhanceeventhemostdemandingarchitecturalenvironment.
