Pano consists of the line array unit QL 906, the flyable and stackable subwoofer QLB 118 and two system rack combinations SR 4800 for passive channeling and SR 7100 for complete active channeling. The 2-way line source unit QL 906 is equipped with two 1" drivers coupled to a wave-former / horn combination and two 8" neodymium speakers combined with "outstanding AQF acoustic filters" say K.M.E.
The line array subwoofer QLB 118 offers a clear, transient response for a minimum distortion in the low frequency range. The sub reproduces a low limit frequency of 33Hz at -6dB, with a maximum SPL of 131dB. Due to the low weight top QL 906 and sub QLB 118 are easy to handle and have an excellent power-to-size ratio, say the company. The black PU coating - standard for both components - guarantees an extreme mechanical load and a high weather stability.
The system includes a fully integrated rigging and stacking system. With four self-locking pins the line array unit QL 906 is mounted on the bottom side of the top bar and can be angled from -3° to 0°. The info display on the rear gives clear information about the configuration of the splay angle. First user experiences prove that size and weight of the system as well as the Quick Release Hardware are practical and user-convenient.
K.M.E. also offers the Pano Focus simulation software, which allows a two-dimensional simulation of the acoustic sources of the line array, calculates the splay angles and the expected array performance and displays it as a printable version with rigging details.
