TOA will debut its new
SR-D8 Digitally Active Line Array at InfoComm13. The SR-D8 contains 8
"cells", each with a compliment of a 4" low frequency speaker
and a coaxially-mounted array of 3 - 1" dome tweeters Each cell is powered
by an independent Class D amplifier. The SR-D8 System comprises two different
models: The SR-D8-M (Master) and the SR-D8-S (Slave). A single SR-D8-M may be
connected to up to three SR-D8-S units for linear 4-speaker array. A total of 16
SR-D8s may be connected in any given system. Each SR-D8-M has an input via
balance analog line or CobraNet. The signal may be daisy-chained to other
SR-D8-Ms via an AES/EBU link. The SR-D8s advanced 24bit/96k on-board DSP is
controlled via supplied GUI software and is also accessible via web browser.
The software provides full control of all SR-D8s in the system. It is possible
to control the beam angle within a +/- 45 deg range and the beam may also be
split two ways at any point along the array (from single to four-speaker
configuration). The GUI software provides a full-compliment of parametric EQ,
compression, delay and beam control. The GUI also displays a predictive preview
of beam propagation for any configuration. One main advantage is the calculation
time-from configuration selection to execution, the process time is
instantaneous! This line array speaker is ideally suited for large atrium
spaces, auditoriums & Houses of Worship. The SR-D8-M & SR-D8-S carry
TOAs 5-year Audio Product Warranty. The SR-D8 System will be available for sale
in the Summer of 2013. Visit the webpage for this product for more information and software downloads.
