This is just incredible.. I remember reading an audio book in the 90s.. and they told that the perfect speaker would be throwing out the sound from one spot, and not from many speakers (like in normal sound boxes).. You made this happen on a very large scale.. Less sound sources.. less issues.. Amazing..
There were 2 ways Danley discovered, and that was the layered combiner, which puts different locations on each compression driver exit in phase with each other on one total exit. There is also the paraline (really hyperbolic sections) lens, which focused the output of each compression driver into its own narrower radiation pattern, forming part of an arc of radiation pattern. I'm not sure what happens if you turn off individual drivers in a paraline arrangement (I recall this discussed somewhere) because if they all functioned as arc segments, at some angles of the box up and down you would here very little.
I wonder what would happen if you tried flying those Behringer Inuke boom giant speaker docks in stadiums but I bet this box would laugh at it - smaller and slight lighter too.
@Danley Sound Labs - As a sing point source of audio, I completely understand how many high, mid & low drivers all physically/structuraly time-aligned & eminating from a shared single horn (synergy) overcomes traditional line array issues that those manufactures use DSP to try compensate for. I see that this forces them to use exponetially more boxes, and much more power amplication, to achieve kinda-releative coverage/spl/throw/intelligibility. My question is... When big venues require numerous Danley Synergy single horn boxes in a spread array, or line array configuration... don't mutiple full range Danley Syngery horn boxes then have some of the inherant arraying cancellation/phasing/other issues that multi speaker traditional line array has??? (i.e. - with multiple Danely boxes arrayed, no longer are the combined drivers of ALL coming from "one" horn, Synergy horn.)
quick guess... multiple boxes for continuing angles... if 50 degree box, 2 will give 100 degree coverage... I was once in a stadium with two 2-way straight horns and not much power... covered the baseball stadium with clear 100hz-10k sound - from center field, one pointed at left bleachers, other right. Pretty loud too.
love this, some questions, How can you get 20,000 watts out of 1 amp?? surely its 230 volt line or 480 volts?, secondly is any special eq'ing needed for the J1? ...in other words how flat is the response outdoors?
bigger problem.....requires a fork lift everywhere it goes...wieghs 700 pounds.... theory good , reality, not so hot...honestly, i like the current single box single driver style.
It's also the ultimate bass guitar cab if your band mates won't turn down their Marshall stacks and your drummer is King Kong. Rotate the horn (or grow some muscles and flip the cab if that's not possible) to face the treble upwards to you on stage. Imagine wheeling it on stage and your band mates and the sound engineer are like "Oh no he's going to drown out the band with bass guitar"
Linea are OEM providers for several brands. That 20k 4ch platform is also used by Martin Audio, EM Acoustics and a few other recognisable names. Not only do they provide solid power in a compact box that can run stable down to 2 Ohms, the DSP includes impressive innovative linear phase filter implementations, and multiple ways of protecting drivers - all for a very fair price, compared to most competitor products!
@@carforumwanker it was hypothetical, and Tim just brought to my attention the amount of initial input power is different. Not to say there isn’t a 20k car audio amp out there?
Not efficient at 720 lbs!!! Amazing speaker with no application for regular people! Make a scaled down version so a regular truck can carry 2 or 4 and do a 1000-2000 people show that's where all the shows are at.
2 of this things for 70.000 people is the most efficient thing you can get.. to get that amazing base.. you need a large horn.. I think this will always be the challenge..
