InfoComm Releases Updated Standard for Audio Coverage Uniformity

InfoComm International, the trade association representing the commercial audiovisual industry worldwide, announced the release of the updated standard Audio Coverage Uniformity (ACU) in Listener Areas (ANSI/INFOCOMM A102.01:2017). With advancements in technology and continual audio coverage problems, InfoComm considered it was important to produce an updated version of the ACU standard, which was first released in 2009.

Fohhn Audio AG announced the release of its new PT-70 loudspeaker system. What makes the PT-70 design unique is its so-called Convertible Dispersion Technology (CDT), registered as a utility model, enabling it to be manually switched between cardioid and vented operation modes. When the PT-70 is used as a cardioid system, significantly less sound is emitted from the back of the speaker. This results in both a quieter working environment for the band and a richer, deeper sound for the audience.

Following the official introduction at CEDIA Expo 2014, Origin Acoustics’ in-wall / in-ceiling speaker range made its European debut at ISE 2015. With nearly 100 different products shipping, including electronics, Ken Humphreys, Ed Haase and Jeremy Burkhardt’s team seems focused on appointing motivated dealers and expand global distribution as quickly as possible.

Dawn Pro Audio unveiled an original acoustic waveguide technology in its new AW Series powered speakers. The company says the new design “redefines wide dispersion” for portable sound reinforcement applications, allowing for an even sound spread across an 180-degree listening area. The new AW Series was shown for the first time at InfoComm 2014.
