The hd PL24Beam is equipped with 24 shielded 3″ broadband speakers, each with 75 W amplifiers and the latest DSP generation. It offers great potential for improving the sound distribution in complex architectures and strongly reverberant rooms. The goal is to focus the sound only on auditory surfaces, while surfaces that cause unwanted reflections and produce disturbing diffuse sound to be shaded. This leads to a much better speech intelligibility and a first-class listening experience for every listener, allows an inconspicuous positioning of the speakers in previously inappropriate positions, as well as a flexible adaptation of the speaker radiation characteristics to different applications.
