UK - Set to launch at PLASA 2011, Quadhorn from Flare Audio couples the sonic energy of multiple Flare loudspeaker drivers through individual sound channels contained within a compact enclosure. This creates one coherent sonic force at the acoustically open front. This coherent surface area increases in size as additional Quadhorn are added, increasing lower frequency sensitivity even further.

"The result of this coherent force produces lower frequencies external to the enclosure that are truly accurate and contain no sonic resonance or transient decay. This external coherent coupling enables Quadhorn to have an incredible frequency response of 18 Hz - 850 Hz producing infrasound, sub bass, bass and low mid frequencies from one loudspeaker," the company says.

Material of any genre can be played on Quadhorn without the alteration or enhancement of sub bass frequencies. "This produces a truly accurate representation of source material without the transient decay associated with prior designs."

The Q418 produces a sensitivity of 121db (2.83v, 2 Ohm, 1m) and 93db at 20 Hz (2.83v, 2 Ohm, 1m) with a power rating of 5kw RMS.

The Q218 is 63kg and believed by Flare to be the world's smallest/lightest double 18" pro-audio loudspeaker.

With bass frequencies the cross over remains at 18 Hz and goes up to any upper bass frequency required. Quadhorn's capability of mid frequencies enables any cross over points between 80 Hz - 850 Hz to be used. System designers now have the flexibility to form one coherent stack of low frequency loudspeakers, for any size of event, says Flare.

Flare Audio will be launching Quadhorn Q218 and Q418 on stand 1-J13 and will have live sound demonstrations in their demo room at the Piccadilly Suite on level 1 at PLASA 2011.
