Making its debut at Frankfurt will be the LR16: not only will a complete system be on the stand, but in order to give an idea of what Alcons' pro-ribbon technology means in terms of output and quality, the company is also organizing off-site demonstrations of The Ribbon line-array system.
In addition to the Ribbon system, the LR16 Bass will be introduced. Featuring double 15" Neodymium drivers in compact bandpass configuration, for high efficiency and low weight (102dB 1W/1m. @ 43kg.), the system forms a bass extension to LR16, when additional pressure-bass is required. The LR16Bass can be flown or stacked.
Also debuting is the LR14 - Alcons' ultra-compact line-array module, featuring the patented RBN401 pro-ribbon driver and double 6.5" cone-transducers. Designed as either ultra-compact line-array system, or as an under-fill for the LR16, the LR14 has a dispersion pattern of 120° x 15°. The 800W peak power handling offers similar dynamic response as its bigger brother, the LR16.
The ALC4 amplified loudspeaker controller is a 2 x 2kW Class-G controller-amplifier. With features such as Speaker-Drive-Processing (SDP) and Signal-Integrity-Sensing (SIS) the ALC4 is dedicated to powering and controlling Alcons speaker systems.
