NlightN flat panel speakers use six small, mathematically positioned exciters to generate bending waves across the entire surface of a stiff panel membrane. The exciters used in the NlightN speakers are based on conventional moving voice coils. The movement of the panel creates a diffuse soundfield that provides an unparalleled, immersive audio experience: the dispersion from an NlightN speaker is almost omnidirectional across its full frequency range and there is no change in the clarity of the audio signal, irrespective of listening angle. This makes the panel suitablel for public address and architectural applications, where the prime requirement is for even audience coverage, in terms of both spectral balance and loudness.
With no phase cancellations resulting from adjacent channel interference between panels, NlightN panel speakers offer a major performance advantage in multi-room and multi-speaker environments, and for sound installations in small spaces, says the company.
NlightN panel speakers can be mounted in numerous different ways with different fixtures, including PA stands and directly onto walls and other surfaces. The panel surfaces can also be painted or printed with images, corporate logos etc, in order to provide 'invisible' sound reinforcement.
