DESCRIPTION
Biamp's Community L SERIES LVH-900/AS Beamforming Venue Horn™, combined with the Community Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers (ALCs), precisely tailors the directivity of each loudspeaker, or array of loudspeakers, to meet the sound requirements in any application. Designed for exceptional performance in large venues, each LVH-906/AS (Active Standard) model consists of four 12-inch LF drivers, three Community M200 midrange compression drivers and four 1.5-inch HF compression drivers. Using patent-pending techniques, all drivers integrate into a single triaxial waveguide that fill the entire 36 x 31-inch face of the enclosure, providing pattern control to below 400 Hz. The LVH-906 offers 60° of fixed horizontal dispersion, and has presets for vertical dispersion beamforming in 60°, 40°, 20° configurations. The LVH-900 Active Standard (AS) models allow DSP settings and control of individual driver pairs to provide uniform sound to the audience areas.
Typical applications include music and speech reinforcement for large houses of worship, stadiums, theatres, and much more. Possessing advanced features, highly-focused dispersion patterns, weather-resistant construction, and most importantly sonic excellence, LVH-900 loudspeakers make installations not only fast and simple, but as functionally effective as possible.
