Fohhn ships high performance system

29 June 2012

Germany - Fohhn Audio has announced the release of its new PT-6 compact, high-performance loudspeaker system with integrated line array technology. The loudspeaker, previewed at this year's Frankfurt Prolight + Sound, has been specially developed to offer both powerful coverage and easy set-up. Designed for stand-mounted, stacked or flown applications, the PT-6 essentially combines three of Fohhn's widely used PT-8 line array modules in a single compact unit weighing just 39kg.

Sporting a twin coaxial speaker construction, the PT-6 contains 6 x 6.5" long excursion neodymium and 3 x 1.4" compression drivers with a specially developed HF phase EQ. The loudspeaker's compression drivers and the HF phase EQ/Waveguide have been tailored to optimize the system's vertical beam characteristics.

A vertical dispersion angle of 30 degrees gives excellent results even in venues with challenging acoustics, while a 110 degree horizontal dispersion angle makes the loudspeaker ideal for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications in venues such as festival tents, clubs and concert halls, as well as at open-air events, says the company.

In bi-amping mode, the PT-6 has been exclusively geared towards use with Fohhn's new 4-channel D-4.1200 DSP amplifier. This ensures the best possible sound performance and maximum operating reliability, as well as simple plug-and-play connection.
