hd PL16C/P18-PA2

The mobile hd PL active PA systems combine first-class sound quality with elegant design and directional dispersion. The round column speakers with LineArray characteristic convince with their sleek design and their roadworthy housing made of sturdy aluminum. By combining 16x 3″ broadband speakers into a cylindrical wave, the hd PL16 line array speakers are ideal for voice and music transmission in halls, clubs, churches, museums, etc. Even in difficult acoustic conditions with long reverberation times, the PL series guarantees excellent speech intelligibility thanks to less diffuse sound and unwanted reflections, and impresses with a balanced, homogeneous sound image at lower basic volume levels.

The PL systems include the DSP-controlled active system bass hd P18, which drives the PL line radiators and another passive hd Sub18 and thus acts as the basic building block. The powerful 18″ long-excursion loudspeaker in bass reflex tuning ensures controlled, punchy bass. Factory-programmed sound presets make it easier for you to work in a wide variety of rooms and applications. Individual sound ideas can be saved as a preset on request. The easy handling and the compact dimensions save setup time, weight and load space. In addition, the Plug & Play system minimizes cabling and thus potential sources of error.

The hd PLC Cardioid expansion module is designed for demanding applications in mobile and fixed installations, effectively attenuating rearward-radiated frequency components by up to 20dB. The further optimized directivity of the line radiator by the cardioid module thus considerably reduces the feedback susceptibility in the low-mid range and at the same time improves speech intelligibility, since no sound energy is radiated diffusely into unwanted areas. The hd PLC module is mounted directly on the rear of the hd PL Series LineArray Stick and operated via a separate amplifier channel. Cardioid or hypercardioid characteristics can be easily accessed via the corresponding DSP preset using the hd LevelZ software. In addition to reducing rearward sound energy, the hd PLC Cardioid module also increases sound pressure in the low-mid range in the direction of the listener. This makes the sound even more powerful and dynamic with the same line length.
