The Ethos is aimed at the live market primarily, although its compact size and ground-stacking flexibility will also suit it to other applications including houses of worship and corporate events. The system consists of the main Ethos VA (vertically arraying) cabinet, with a dispersion of 120°H and up to 10°V (depending on splay angle) and a frequency response of 60Hz to 20kHz; the Ethos B2 - a 2 x 15" cabinet optimized for use from 40Hz to 150Hz; and the Ethos SB2 - a complementary 2 x 18" sub cabinet intended for ground-stacking only. Two SB2 cabinets are the same height when stacked as three B2s. The system is completed by a choice of four monitors (LM8, LM12, LM15 or LM20 models).
The VA, B2 and SB2 cabinets share a common width (780mm), enabling a variety of ground-stacking options, while for the VA and B2 an integrated flying system is included. A minimum array size would be three boxes, while a hang of six to 12 boxes would maximize the array's potential. For ground-stacking, the fly tracks can also be used to lock the boxes together. The decision to exhibit the Ethos as a compact, ground-stacked array also seemed to pay off, as it caught the eye of a number of visitors who could see its potential at a glance.
