PA/VA applications
Today we are encountering many applications where emergency PA/VA and BGM is combined.
For PA/VA we must provide the the features required to meet worldwide legislative and safety standards. QFlex is designed
for use in emergency sound systems, providing the most resolute intelligent monitoring and protection system of any digital
beam-steering product. Very Clear and intelligible messages are critical; it is vitally important that the message is clearly
understood the rst time, for both instructional and emergency scenarios in public buildings and transportation hubs. Many
large transportation hubs pose a real acoustical challenge to the designer with hard and reective surfaces contributing to
high reverberation times.
QFlex is the rst product of its kind to realize full range beam steering capabilities, producing class leading performance for
both vocal and music applications, making it a perfect choice for high quality BGM applications. QFlex will deliver increased
intelligibility in reverberant spaces and consistent SPL, whether you are close to the speaker or at distance. In many cases,
a product such as QFlex is the only way of achieving the required levels of speech intelligibility in large reverberant spaces.
Constant voltage interface
For applications utilising existing front end
70 V / 100 V systems, a new Constant
Voltage interface is available, allowing for
integration into existing constant voltage
systems by stepping down signal from
70 V / 100 V to line level. The CV interface
is an optional addition to any QFlex column,
housed in a enclosure with identical prole
to the QFlex column itself and tting
discretely to the base of the master unit
(bottom of column).
Digital networking via Dante bridge
A fully networked solution is also available
by way of a Dante network bridge. The
advantage here is that we only need a
single bridge per zone. This hybrid solution
is very cost efcient and keeps node
costs down.
AES connectivity
System connectivity has also been greatly
enhanced with QFlex now being capable of
receiving and transporting digital audio via
AES3 stream over long distances. A new
VNET/AES break-in interface is available
from Tannoy, allowing the VNET network
and AES3 to be transported on the same
CAT5 cable.
Better connected
QFlex benets from an extensive range of options where signal routing is concerned, with recent enhancements and optional
interfaces greatly expanding on the standard analogue line-in. This ensures QFlex remains one of the most exible and
versatile digitally steerable systems on the market, easily integrated into any installed audio system design - both new
or existing.
