QSC launches a transformer-less surface-mount speaker-- the AD-S6, a 6.5-inch 2-way loudspeaker designed for foreground and background music (BGM/FGM), as well installations requiring higher SPL foreground sound reinforcement.
“The AD-S6 is an ideal addition to our Premium Business Music solutions that were specifically designed to meet the high-performance needs of foreground applications,” the company says. “We are excited to expand our popular AcousticDesign Series with a loudspeaker that is nearly identical to AD-S6T, but with the AD-S6 we lowered the cost by removing the transformer and providing 16 ohm nominal impedance, making it ideal for use in low impedance distributed systems.”
Essentially, Netflix high quality audio ups the maximum bitrate of a 5.1 audio mix from 192 to 640 kpbs, and a Dolby Atmos mix from 448 to 768 kbps. As mentioned earlier the technology is adaptive, meaning audio quality goes up or down depending on the network speed on the customer side, similar to the approach the streaming service takes to video quality.
Designed for conference rooms, huddle spaces, classrooms, theatres and gaming spaces, the KD-Pro2x1X and KD-Pro4x1X allow installers to connect multiple video sources to a single display while analog (3.5mm and balanced/unbalanced) and digital (optical and PCM) audio de-embed ports feed audio from the selected source into an amplifier, DSP or soundbar. The latest product release features TOSlink optical audio output, a recently important feature due to simplified soundbars with only a TOSlink audio input.
The three AVRs also feature multi-assistant voice control, support for eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), ALLM ((Auto Low Latency Mode for gaming) and all other HDMI 2.1 specification features, and what Denon calls a better setup experience.
The WA-2200 leverages next-generation wireless technology to improve wireless networking performance, thanks to a high-performance chipset promising faster speeds, lower latency and seamless roaming across the wireless network. BakPak cloud configuration allows support for both traditional setup via local UI and remote management and monitoring (RMM), making for faster and easier installation and configuration.
The AMBEO Soundbar packs no less than 13 separate drivers, including two 3.5-inch top-firing speakers, and can produce a deep bass response reaching lows of 30Hz. Meanwhile AMBEO 3D technology combines acoustic wave guides and digital processing to reflect audio off the walls to create a surround effct. The result is immersive 5.1.4 sound compatible with the three chief 3D audio formats, Dolby Atmos, MPEG-H and DTS:X.
