DESCRIPTION
I SERIES Point Source 800 loudspeakers provide
exemplary acoustic performance, modular flexibility
and elegant aesthetics for modern performance venues.
Designed to support the goals of systems integrators
and consultants both acoustically and mechanically,
I SERIES includes a wide variety of arrayable, rotatable
coverage patterns and a comprehensive selection
of modular bracket systems that accelerate system
design and system commissioning.
FEA-optimized linear suspensions, high-flux
neodymium motors, and integral demodulation rings
ensure precise transducer motion control and very low
distortion at high SPL levels. The custom long-excursion
LF driver delivers deep bass response and a balanced
midrange in the most demanding applications. The
matched diaphragms on the HF and MF compression
drivers provide natural, transparent sound quality
with unrivaled intelligibility and transient response
accuracy that complements any source.
The rotatable 18-inch (457mm) MF/HF waveguide
provides well-defined coverage and a smooth o-axis
response that enhances arrayability. The acoustic
8th order MF/HF passive crossover produces a smooth,
consistent vertical o-axis response free from the polar
lobing and power response losses inherent in similar
systems. User selectable biamp or triamp operating
modes further expand performance capabilities.
