Italy - Italian manufacturer Outline snc has announced that ist Globe Source Radiator (GSR) - an innovative omnidirectional loudspeaker for acoustical measurements, is now available as a package incorporating a companion matching 4-channel 500W/channel power amplifier with built-in noise source and wireless remote control and accompanying subwoofer, which can store the GSR. Using the miniature matching amplifier, the nominal sound power level of the system is 125dB, say Outline, with less than 0.3dB power compression, but the source can deliver up to 130dB with a more powerful power amplifier, with the same power compression.The GSR and Outline miniaturized power amplifier can be configured to power selected drivers to obtain different radiation patterns, useful for approximating musical instrument sources. An optional powered subwoofer extends the response to 40Hz.
The GSR conforms to ISO 3382, ISO 140-3, ISO 140-4, ISO 354, and ASTM E336, say the company. Pricing is available for three standard configurations: the Basic System (user provides power amplifier), the Upgrade System (includes Outline power amplifier, noise source, and radio remote control), and the Full-Range System (includes the full Outline system with subwoofer).
