The AXYS® Intellivox-DS1608 was the world’s first commercially available beam shaping high power loudspeaker array and since its introduction in 1999 the Intellivox-1608 has been specified to solve the problems of speech intelligibility and musical reinforcement in large highly reverberant spaces and theatres. The Intellivox-DC1608 is ideally suited for Sports Arenas, Multipurpose Venues (including Cathedral style buildings), Concert Halls and Theatres. As well as offering an extended frequency response, up to 18 kHz, the Intellivox-DS1608 is capable of delivering up to 108 dB SPL at 30 m. With an array length of 3.7 m the Intellivox-DS1608 not only offers long throw capability but also greater control at low frequencies. A single Intellivox-DS1608 is capable of covering an audience area up to 50 m whilst maintaining an even sound pressure level. For full range applications AXYS® Beam Shaping Subwoofers can be used in conjection with the 1608 to provide enhancement and control at low frequencies. In order to achieve such outstanding performance the Intellivox-DS1608 comes with an external 3RU IntelliAmp that is equipped with a 32- bit floating point DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which handles the demanding mathematical calculations that are necessary to achieve highly accurate directivity control, in this case beam shaping. In addition to this the DSP offers a wealth of useful audio processing features including: volume control, parametric EQ and delay. The fourteen, high efficiency, 6.5” loudspeakers are arranged in accordance with our patented algorithm. In addition to the 6.5” loudspeakers there are also two coaxially mounted 1” compression drivers to extend the HF response. Power for the multi channel IntelliAmp is provided by a sophisticated switched mode power supply which will ensure years of reliable operation. An extensive set of surveillance functions have also been implemented to meet the stringent demands of typical Voice Alarm (life safety) applications. The unit can be controlled using our proprietary WinControl software which offers user friendly control of the beam steering parameters, audio processing and surveillance features.
