Harmonic Design PL16i 600 W passive PowerLine stick, 16 x 3", 80° x 10° coverage, 4 ohm, wallmount, cable inlet, wall bracket not included

FEATURES

Column speaker with 16 x 3" full-range drivers housed in an elegant, rounded aluminium cabinet. The drivers couple to create a (near) cylindrical wavefront with a 10° vertical opening; the result is a constant sound pressure level and near-uniform sound reproduction from the first to the last row.

The long throw (up to 25 m) and 80° horizontal coverage enable high efficiency with few loudspeakers. This results in more direct sound, offers greater speech intelligibility, and high feedback rejection in acoustically problematic rooms.

The hd PL i series column loudspeakers are ideal for restaurants, bars, airports, train stations, home cinemas, conference rooms, hotels, A/V installations, multimedia applications, meeting rooms, churches, live music, DJs, concert halls, broadcasting. Like the hd ML24i, the hd PL16i also features a reduced overall height and weight, making it easier to use in venues with low ceilings and allowing for easy transport in a car.

Thanks to the increased directivity of the 3" drivers, the 80° horizontal opening angle means that sound energy is channelled even more, thus allowing for a greater throw. With a larger cone surface than the hd ML24i, music and speech reproduction in the hd PL16i in the mid-bass range is even more powerful and higher sound pressure can be achieved.

In fixed installations, the use of a subwoofer for speech reproduction can be avoided due to the system's full-range capability.

To reproduce a sound program from the fundamental to the harmonics, conventional loudspeakers use two or three different types of transducers. This results in inconsistency not only near crossover frequencies, but also in the important mid-frequency range due to the different decay times and membrane masses of the different transducers. Especially in reproduction where the low range is covered by one type of transducer and the high range by another, the sound might be distorted. This is where the 1-way design of the PL i hd series comes in: full-range drivers covering the fundamental to harmonic range, the advantages of the Line Array (cylindrical wave) and the coherence of the sound wave, without "phasing" and group delay: a unique listening experience.

Internal clamping terminals ensure a quick, tool-free connection of the loudspeaker. A high-quality aluminium powder coating and acoustic foam complete the features of the PL i series. For optimal adaptation to room architecture, the speaker can be customised in all RAL colours and with special lengths.
