Loaded with two 18" woofers - with acoustic energy exiting from four spaced apertures in the corners of the enclosure, Otto can produce 131dB (1 meter, continuous, full-space) with requency response down to 22Hz (-10dB), say EAW.
As with the Anya full-range modules, each Otto transducer is separately powered and processed, allowing multiple directivity patterns to be created from a single module. Also like Anya, Otto modules can readily be combined in arrays to provide increased pattern control and output, the company says.
"Each module is engineered to generate any three-dimensional wavefront surface and determine the processing needed to achieve optimum coverage and tonal balance for the specific application. Specifically, EAW Resolution software generates DSP parameters to simultaneously adapt the complex 3D wavefront surface and optimize frequency response to perfectly match the requirements of any venue in minutes," the company says.
"The addition of Otto to our next generation Adaptive Series provides end users with additional low frequency energy exactly how and where they need it," states Rusty Waite, VP of sales for EAW. "When used with Anya, engineers can be confident that not only will their system sound amazing, but it will sound amazing from venue to venue."
