Dante
The PB248-D is suitable for inclusion in a Dante network. With this technology, a loudspeaker can easily be supplied with power, sound signal and even a control signal line over a single 2-wire system with a Phoenix connector. This means that an existing 100 V, loudspeaker or microphone cable can be used to transmit signal and power, no extra cables have to be purchased and installed.
Fully controllable, fully adjustable and customisable
This black loudspeaker is equipped with Multiple Beam Technology and has multiple digitally steerable sound beams. The vertical and horizontal opening angle can be adjusted separately. With this Beam Steering Technology from Pan Acoustics, the sound beams can be precisely focused on the audience. The loudspeaker has two RJ-45 connectors. Because of this, the loudspeaker can be integrated with other devices and systems, such as an evacuation system, through an RS-485 network. The inputs are equipped with automatic priority switching, which is useful in emergency situations. Up to 256
Pan Beam loudspeakers can be included in a Pan Beam network and controlled simultaneously. For control over the internal audio processor/DSP functions, and for advanced remote monitoring, the PB248-D loudspeaker can be connected to a computer. Pan Acoustics offers efficient, user-friendly and compact software for Windows. With the help of this professional software, for example, the opening angle and tilt angle, the volume, the delay (up to 370ms) and a 5-band parametric equalizer can be set. It also gives control over the Beam Steering Technology. Using the software, up to four networks can be controlled and managed, making it easy to operate a whopping total of 1024 Pan Beam loudspeakers in an audio installation. During installation, the Pan Acoustics PB248-D can be easily checked and controlled by a media control. The volume, sound and delay can be adjusted as required. Due to the low power consumption, during use and even more so in standby, this loudspeaker is very energy efficient.
