AXYS® Intellivox DC
/ DS and DSX Ranges
The biggest challenge
facing a sound system designer is
devising a system which will have
a high direct to reverberant
sound ratio. i.e. maximising the
sound that arrives directly to the
listeners ear, whilst reducing thesound
energy reflected off
walls, ceilings and otheracoustically
reflective surfaces.
This is why Duran Audio developed
DDC (Digital Directivity Control)
and DDS (Digital Directivity Synthesis)
the technologies utilised throughout
the AXYS® Intellivox range. (See
our technologies page for detailed
explanations of DDC and DDS)
Using our AXYS® WinControl software
you can control the vertical directivity
pattern of Intellivox products
and aim the sound where you want
it - At the listener.
When configured correctly these
column speakers give increased
intelligibility in reverbarent
spaces and consistent SPL, whether
you are close to the speaker or
further away.
Description
The standard Intellivox DC and
DS column speakers are 134mm wide,
92 mm deep and available in 5
lengths. 1150mm, 1800mm, 2800mm,
4300mm and 5000mm. The longer
the array, the more of control
you have over the directivity.
They each have an array of 4 inch
drivers built in amplification
and DSP. The DC/DS 115 has 2 additional
tweeters to extend the frequency
range.
The AXYS® Intellivox DSX products
have the same dimensions as their
DC/DS equivalent, but include
a small horn array; resulting
in a frequency response that is
extended to 18 kHz.
This makes them ideally suited
for applications where a more
"hi-fi" sound quality
is required.
The Intellivox DSX is available
in 1800mm, 2800mm, 4300mm and
5000mm lengths.
For an even wider frequency range
we also manufacture the DC/DS
808 which is 1278mm in length
and the DC/DS 1608 which is 3738mm
in length. These units are slightly
bigger at 198mm wide and 156mm
deep, to house 6.5 inch drivers.
This makes the speakers better
suited to Music as well as speach.
The electronics module for these
units comes separated in a 3RU
enclosure.
Safety Features
In addition to the DSP, Intellivox
products are equipped with a RISC
processor to take care of surveillance
routines, which are performed
every 1/20 second. In addition
to this the RISC is monitored
by a watchdog, which in the event
of a failure will reset the RISC.
Surveillance functions include,
but are not limited to:
? Pilot tone detection
? Amplifier load surveillance
? Ambient microphone surveillance
? Amplifier surveillance
? Temperature surveillance
? DSP functionality
All relevant status parameters
and temperatures can be monitored
via the RS-485 network. Failures
can be reported by the on board
failure relay or via one of the
many features offered by WinControl.

ADC (Analogue Directivity Control)
The AXYS® Intellivox ADC range is intended
for use in 70V/100V Public Address and
Voice Alarm (PA/VA) systems. Each array
consists of 6 carefully aligned 4” full
range loudspeakers housed inside a tough
steel enclosure. The specially aligned
drivers are highly efficient and have
an extended flat frequency response,
providing natural and uncoloured reproduction
of both spoken word and background music.
The AXYS® Intellivox V-90 and H-90
The AXYS® Intellivox-V90, utilises
a preset vertical opening angle with
a -4º steering angle to accurately cover
the listening plane when mounted flat
to a vertical surface. This results
in a reduction of incoherent reflections
from the mounting surface.
An additional advantage of vertical
or even recessed mounting is that the
Ivx-V90 becomes architecturally unobtrusive.
The AXYS® Intellivox-H90 is designed
for use on platforms and in high ceiling
corridors, to minimise spill over a
large bandwidth outside the listening
area. The precisely defined horizontal
dispersion aims the acoustic signal
at the listener area, whilst minimising
disturbance outside of this locality.
This dramatically improves the listening
comfort in surrounding areas of for
instance, open platform railway stations.
The column is designed to be mounted
horizontally and can be mechanically
aimed according to desired throw.
The Intellivox-H90 is designed to evenly
cover distances up to 15 m. It has a
fixed vertical dispersion of 130º and
a horizontal opening angle of 30º. The
focus point for the horizontal beam
is at 15 m.

The AXYS® DS-90 IntelliDisc
Originally developed for the 'Berlin
Hauptbahnhof' Berlin's main railway
station, The DS-90 IntelliDisc is the
world's first fully integrated, digitally
controlled, two dimensional loudspeaker
array. The IntelliDisc offers control
over both the horizontal and vertical
beam steering. The dispersion can be
shaped to a very narrow beam, keeping
sound away from areas where it is not
wanted, whether it be to the left, to
the right, above or below.
