South German audio manufacturer presented expanded brand range in new focus on concert sound applications. Fohhn Audio AG brought a brand new, comprehensive concert sound system combination to Integrated Systems Europe.
The South German manufacturer is expanding its range of professional loudspeaker systems for fixed installation- and mobile applications to include products for large live sound venues. Forming part of this new system combination is Focus Venue. The active, digitally controllable line array system with Fohhn Beam Steering Technology consists of flexible, combinable high frequency and low-mid range loudspeaker modules whose beam characteristics can be electronically controlled, via software, in real time. Focus Venue arrays are designed to be stacked and flown straight – mechanical curving is not necessary. On 7th and 8th February, ISE visitors also experienced this new line array system “live" in special demonstrations at the Q-Factory in Amsterdam.
Focus Venue can be supplemented in the low frequency range by two new Perform-Series subwoofers: the PS-400 (1 x 18”) and PS-450 (2 x 18”). As required, these can be combined to form horizontal, vertical or end fired Focus Sub Arrays, whose beam characteristics can also be controlled via software.
Further system components include Fohhn’s new high performance DI-Series digital amplifiers, which are to be available in 2- and 4-channel versions with up to 4000 W output per channel.
In accordance with Fohhn’s digital strategy, all components of the new system combination will be available with input interfaces for AES/EBU signals, as well as for Optocore, Dante and Fohhn AIREA digital networks.
Alongside these highlights, ISE visitors could see other new products including the ABX-5 breakout module, which acts as an interface between the Fohhn AIREA system and the Dante network. Fohhn also presented further variants of its established CS-04 ceiling loudspeakers, plus a new pole-operated universal mount for the PT-70 loudspeaker system.
