Renkus-Heinz Shows New Products at PLASA 2011

Renkus-Heinz will show its latest cutting-edge products at PLASA 2011 -- September 11-13. Earls Court, London -- on the POLAR Audio stand (1-F2), and visitors will have an opportunity to hear the IC Live digital beam steering system live in the Technologies for Worship Pavilion, where the system will be in use for lectures throughout the day.

Heading the list on the stand is the new IC2 (IC Squared) -- billed as the first-ever high-powered, medium-format digitally steerable loudspeaker system. Designed for theatre and club installations and integrating digital beam steering with high-power output, built-in amplification, and RHAON network control, it opens up a totally new product sector in pro audio, for venues looking for the ultimate in quality and control, the company says.

IC2 sets a new benchmark in live sound loudspeaker design by combining the control and flexibility of Iconyx digitally steerable technology with the power and focus of a point source loudspeaker, creating the world's first "hybrid array" with the full benefits of both technologies, the company says.

Each IC2 two-way 8" module delivers articulate musicality and powerful punch, with a versatile design that can be used as a stand-alone high-performance loudspeaker, a small ground stack, or a flown array of up to 20 cabinets.

Likewise, the new CF101-LA modular point source array, which will be flown on the stand, offers a breakthrough solution for today's small and mid-sized venues, including auditoria, night clubs, theatres, and houses of worship, the company says.

The self-powered CF101-LA delivers the performance and pattern control of a line array, with the clarity of a point source system, in a compact, sleek and affordable design equally at home on the road or in a permanent installation. With the flexibility to be flown, ground-stacked or pole-mounted, up to four CF101-LA cabinets can be arrayed to provide a 90-x-60-degree coverage pattern, delivering up to 9dB more output and tighter vertical pattern control than a conventional single cabinet. A non-powered version, CFX101-LA, is also available.

A full dual IC Live digital beam steering system with matching IC215S-R subwoofers, and a single cutaway IC2, give visitors a chance to see this special technology. The display will be completed by a single IC16R digitally beam steered installation loudspeaker.

Meanwhile, attendees at the Technologies for Worship Pavilion lectures will hear the presenters via an IC Live system with an IC Live and matching subwoofer on either side of the stage.
