Renkus-Heinz Doubles Down on Dante Interoperability for Iconyx Compact Steerable Speakers

Renkus-Heinz announced the latest products in its new Iconyx Compact Series: the ICC 12/3-RD1, 24/3-RD1, 36/3-RD1 and 48/3-RD1. This new -RD1 lineup completes the Iconyx Compact Series portfolio – a line that first launched in 2020 as a response to integrators seeking coherent and steerable sound solutions in highly problematic acoustic spaces. With its compact footprint, the series brings performance and directivity to spaces where even the classic Iconyx arrays might be too large.

French professional audio manufacturer NEXO, a Yamaha subsidiary, announced a new installation-focused speaker design. The ID84 is NEXO’s first column loudspeaker, combining the company’s trademark characteristics of size-to-power ratio, variable directivity and highly flexible scalable configurations to a category that is relevant for a wide variety of applications, including music performance reinforcement.

Alcons Audio has two very interesting new speaker designs. The CRMS-SRHV surround is a 2-way passive-filtered loudspeaker, featuring the patented Alcons pro-ribbon driver technology, and designed to meet all requirements of current and future immersive surround sound formats. Alcons Audio also introduced the QB242 Arrayable Subwoofer, a modular bass element, designed as a fully-scalable low-frequency extension (LFE) system to the QR24 line-source column system, or as arrayable LFE system with any Alcons pro-ribbon system.

French loudspeaker manufacturer Active Audio debuted its new Ray-On Powered over Ethernet (PoE) loudspeaker column arrays at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2020 in Amsterdam. In another example of how systems integrators are clearly adopting AoIP solutions, the new Ray-On loudspeaker series has been designed to bring Active Audio’s high-quality sound into a new generation of smart buildings where networking is key. An elegant, effective and easy-to-integrate solution for corporate buildings, hotels, and retail.
