Engineered for Improved Intelligibility in Acoustic-Challenging Environments
The ALX‑8D‑B is a digitally steerable 8-driver column speaker designed for environments where clarity matters. Each driver is powered and processed independently via its own amplifier and DSP channel. This system allows tight beam control, ensuring voice and music are directed precisely at listeners, minimizing reflections off walls or ceilings.
Ideal for Reverberant Spaces Needing Sound Precision
Large auditoriums, transit hubs, and sacred spaces often suffer from muddied sound caused by echo. This speaker mitigates that by creating a focused vertical sound column that reduces indirect noise. By steering the beam and adjusting the acoustic center, you get targeted coverage with enhanced speech intelligibility and even SPL distribution.
Fine-Tuned DSP and Amplification for Flexible Audio Delivery
With per-driver DSP and Class‑D amplification, the ALX‑8D‑B delivers granular control over beam tilt and coverage zones. Multibeam operation allows for split audience targeting, while adjustable acoustic centers help adapt audio coverage to varied seating or tiered layouts—without adding external beam steering gear.
Seamless Integration with Networked AV Systems
Equipped with native Dante/AES67, AES/EBU, and analog audio input options, this system fits smoothly into both modern IP and traditional installations. No external converters or protocol bridges are required. Built-in IP control and telemetry promote efficient configuration, remote control, and health monitoring.
Slim Profile Designed for Architectural Flexibility
The sleek black aluminum enclosure features a minimal footprint and clean lines, ideal for visual-sensitive installations. Included L-bracket mounting hardware supports flush or surface installations. Its modular design extends seamlessly if stacking multiple units, without visible seams or disruption to architectural aesthetics.
Unified Software Tools for Real-Time Control and Monitoring
All beam presets, steering adjustments, and system diagnostics are handled within a single software interface. Installers can store up to 24 presets, fine-tune beam angles, and access live telemetry functions. The integrated platform simplifies commissioning and remote monitoring across multiple units.
Meets Standards for Emergency and Paging Systems
Designed for critical voice messaging and public address standards, the ALX‑8D‑B stands up to safety-driven applications. With low latency and high intelligibility, and compatibility with AtlasIED GLOBALCOM GCK systems, it supports clear emergency communications and automated external controls via UDP.
