Atlas Sound ALX-16D-B Multichannel 16-Speaker Column Array Speaker (Black)

What the ALX-16D Does for Your Venue

The ALX‑16D is a digitally steerable column array with 16 full-range neodymium drivers, each paired with its own Class-D amplifier and DSP channel. This audio system focuses sound vertically, delivering precise coverage and significantly improving speech clarity in large, reverberant spaces.

Why Precise Beam Steering Matters in Challenging Acoustics

In echo-prone environments—such as airports, museums, worship halls, or transit terminals—standard speakers often cause muddled sound. The ALX‑16D solves this by shaping and directing audio beams from 5° to 40°, targeting your audience directly while minimizing reflections and reverberation.

How Integrated DSP and Amplification Provide Control

With each driver handling its own DSP and amplification, installers gain granular control over beam shape and direction. Real-time steering, multiple presets, and fine adjustments allow for customized sound coverage without physically repositioning the speaker column.

Where Connectivity Meets Workflow Efficiency

The ALX‑16D offers Dante/AES67, AES/EBU, and analog audio inputs built in. No external routers, converters, or DSP hardware are needed. Network-controlled telemetry provides real-time adjustment and diagnostic capabilities for streamlined system management.

How Design Supports Architectural Flexibility

This column array features a slim aluminum profile—just over 31" tall and under 5" wide—finished in black for visual discretion. It includes L-bracket mounting hardware, with optional flush or stackable installations supported, enabling aesthetic integration in diverse venues.

What Scalable Implementation Looks Like

You can deploy a single ALX‑16D or assemble extended arrays by linking multiple units. This modularity accommodates nearly any venue size, while consistent sound distribution and equal intelligibility remain stable across the coverage area.

Why It Sets Standards for Safety and Messaging

Designed for emergency public address use, the ALX‑16D meets rigorous safety standards and offers minimal latency, reliable diagnostics, and clear life safety messaging. Its performance ensures that critical announcements reach listeners clearly, even in loud or echoing spaces.
