The IC8R-II is "a major evolutionary update" to the Iconyx range, introducing significant performance improvement over its predecessor, the IC8R, combining a new Triple Tweeter High Frequency Array Coax with the equally new RHAON [Renkus-Heinz Audio Operations Network] v1.8 beam steering module.
The new Triple Tweeter design creates a continuous, close spaced high frequency line source that pushes the onset of gradient lobes out past 10Khz, while the new RHAON v1.8 beam steering module offers a host of new features to make setting up and commissioning Iconyx arrays faster and more consistent than ever, says the company.
Senior vice president, Ralph Heinz, comments, "This new Triple Tweeter configuration represents the pinnacle of transducer design for steerable column applications, and the improved performance is immediately demonstrated in BeamWare and EASE simulations."
The IC8R, equipped with RHAON, is one of the best selling products in the Iconyx Series, with hundreds of installations worldwide to date.
Renkus-Heinz marketing manager Margie Ulm addadds, "These two important upgrades to our hardware and software maintain our digital beam steering family's market position as technology leader."
