Heading the list on the stand is the unique IC2 (IC Squared) - the first ever high powered, medium format digitally steerable loudspeaker system. Designed for theatre and club installations and integrating digital beam steering with high power output, built in amplification and RHAON network control, it opens up, says Renkus-Heinz, "a totally new product sector in pro audio, for venues looking for the ultimate in quality and control".
IC² is designed to set a new benchmark in live sound loudspeaker design by combining the control and flexibility of Iconyx digitally steerable technology with the power and focus of a point source loudspeaker, creating the world's first 'hybrid array' with the full benefits of both technologies.
Each IC² two-way 8-inch module delivers "articulate musicality and powerful punch", with a versatile design that can be used as a stand-alone high-performance loudspeaker, a small ground stack or a flown array of up to 20 cabinets.
The new CF101-LA Modular Point Source Array, which will be flown on the stand, offers a breakthrough solution for today's small and mid-sized venues, including auditoria, night clubs, theaters and houses of worship.
The self-powered CF101-LA delivers the performance and pattern control of a line array, with the clarity of a point source system, in a compact, affordable design equally at home on the road or in a permanent installation. With the flexibility to be flown, ground-stacked or pole-mounted, up to four CF101-LA cabinets can be arrayed to provide a 90x60 degree coverage pattern, delivering up to 9 dB more output and tighter vertical pattern control than a conventional single cabinet, according to Renkus-Heinz. A non-powered version, CFX101-LA, is also available.
A full dual IC Live digital beam steering system with matching IC215S-R subwoofers, and a single cutaway IC2, give visitors a chance to see this special technology. The display will be completed by a single IC16R digitally beam steered installation loudspeaker.
Meanwhile, attendees at the Technology for Worship Pavilion lectures have the promise of hearing the presenters in crystal clarity via an IC Live system with an IC Live and matching subwoofer on either side of the stage.
