1 - INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS
1.1 - INTRODUCTION TO SPOT2500T
The SPOT2500T active speaker system features a revolutionary new concept
in acoustic and electronic design characterized by painstaking attention in
terms of component selection, materials and production techniques.
The result is a product of absolutely contemporary, essential and rigorous
design, with great attention to detail.
All the system’s drivers, designed with great attention to every detail and
custom-built specically for this system, are equipped with the most
efcient and powerful motor assemblies available on the market today:
- woofers with neodymium magnets and long excursion, large diameter
voice coils
- controlled directivity wave-guide horns coupled to neodymium drivers
with very high magnetic ux.
Very high levels of performance, despite their remarkably small size and
low weight, thanks to power ampliers with digital technology controlled
by a dedicated Montarbo DSP processor.
The processor (56 bit, 180 MHz, 24 bit converters) takes care of the ltering,
equalization, delay, limiter and diagnostic functions, while optimizing the
system’s power and linearity. It utilizes an advanced algorithm for the
real-time control of both the power output and temperature (both internal
and external) of the amplier, thus increasing the system’s overall reliability.
5 presets are available, one of which may be customized by the user, thus
adapting the speaker’s acoustic response to the user’s personal taste.
A dedicated software program that was developed in our R&D laboratory
makes it possible to operate the speaker on a remote control basis by
means of a Personal Computer and our LD24 USB interface.
With a single LD24 USB interface it is possible to operate up to 10 speaker
systems by remote control.
The remote control allows: programming and storage of custom presets in
the PC; a 10 lter “fully parametric” equalizer; adjustment of the delay and
output level of each speaker system; monitoring of the power amplier’s
condition (temperature, protection circuits, limiters and thermal alarms);
a dedicated standby function which reduces power consumption when no
signal is present.
The control software makes these systems extremely exible.
In xed installations the ability to adjust the delay and equalizer make it
possible to align the sound system’s phase and frequency response
1.2 - SPOT2500T APPLICATIONS
The "quasi-tree-way" SPOT2500T system performs at extraordinarily high
levels whenever especially outstanding dynamics are required.
The typical application for this system is the coverage of large areas when
budgetary or technical reasons don’t allow for a suspended line-array
system. These systems were designed to simplify the task of assembling
clusters by simply placing multiple enclosures side-by-side when wider
horizontal dispersion is required, maintaining tonal coherence and
interference-free horizontal wave-front summing.
When it is not possible to place the speaker systems on the stage floor, the
SPOT 2500T may be placed at ground level and the full-range cabinet may
installed on top of the bass cabinet by means of a dedicated coupling bar.
It may also be used for stage-monitoring applications (in-fill system) and as
the 'resident' system in theatres and in live-performances venues.
