NEW HIGH POWER LINE ARRAY FROM RENKUS-HEINZ

Renkus Heinz unveiled their new 3-way high output line array, combining proprietary technology with pioneering CoEntrant Waveguide Topology.The STLA/9 internally tri-amplified cabinets are designed for touring and installation applications in large venues. Renkus-Heinz‚s CoEntrant Waveguide Topology is featured in the mid and high
end via the newly developed CDT1.5. This high output co-entrant driver utilises an advanced 6.5" carbon fibre cone for the midrange, a unique neodymium HF driver with a 2.5" voice coil, and a titanium diaphragm for high power handling with low distortion.Low frequencies are handled by two high powered 12" woofers, with horizontal spacing that assures horizontal pattern control down to an amazingly low 200Hz.The CDT1.5s are arranged vertically and, uniquely, each drives its own Isophasic Plane Wave Generator (IPWG) lens with Path Length Equalisation Technology, feeding a common 90-degree waveguide. Forthcoming 60 degree and 120 degree inserts will increase dispersion options to further optimise the STLA for long-throw or nearfield applications.
Compact yet powerful, the fully tri-amped STLA/9 weighs in at less than 90Kg, and requires only two points per cabinet for safe and simple flying. Fully captive flying hardware with quick release pins allows for three angular splay options, making flying a breeze. A modular flybar with adjustable pick-up points allows for flying from a single point without the need for pull strap bars in most cases. Rigging and coverage angle predictions are provided by the latest release of Renkus-Heinz AimWare for Windows®. Ralph Heinz, VP Research & Development, comments: "We have had amazing reactions to the PN102/LA, our first foray into line array design. Based on that experience, and to meet customer demands for a very high power reference quality system, we developed a unique Renkus-Heinz solution, combining two technologies with lightweight, high power amplification, to build a new standard in high performance line array design."
