Challenging Acoustics

Managing Reflections

One of Fohhn’s core competencies

Even the best speaker system can only produce a perfect sound if it is also well suited for the acoustics of the space. Many times you have to deal with long reverberation times or reflections that are difficult to control. Be it in a train station concourse, stadium, or church nave – each location has its own unique acoustic requirements. Fohhn offers specialized solutions for all of them.

 

Common acoustic problems:

  • Strong reflections from smooth ceilings, floors and walls
  • Long reverberation times
  • Poor speech clarity
  • Comb filter effects
  • Sound diffusion

The solution:

 

The excellent directivity of our line source speakers offers the ideal solution for tricky acoustic situations. The sound output is very direct and there is a significant reduction in the acoustic effects of the space. The result: optimal sound quality and speech clarity for all listeners.

 

The products in our Focus series also feature the Fohhn Beam Steering Technology developed by us. This allows for the vertical dispersion to be programmed individually using software. Therefore, the sound can be adapted more flexibly and precisely to the acoustics of the space and the audio needs of the situation. The products we offer range from compact column speakers, right up to modular, high-performance systems for large-scale events.

Preserving architectural and historical integrity

In recording studios and concert halls, items like absorbers, carpets and curtains are often used in order to improve the acoustics of the space. As this is usually undesirable at venues with elaborate architecture, the audio system has to serve as a solution to the problem instead.

The systems from Fohhn have already been tried and tested at many venues. It has been proven that they can be integrated into spaces without requiring any major structural changes and can also achieve optimal results in terms of sound quality in churches and large halls. At the same time, the 100-volt output can play an important role because this often means that the existing cables can be used.

Speech clarity at all times

Fohhn offers optimal speech clarity and intelligibility using directivity and a transparent sound output. This also applies to our certified speakers in the Voice Alarm series that have been designed specifically for use in voice alarm systems.

Almost invisible speakers

Our column speakers in a sleek, styled housing can be integrated easily and discretely into existing spaces. They can even be placed in niches and produced in a custom colour to match the walls. Upon request, you can purchase speakers in a diverse range of colours, from RAL classic colours to NCS and Pantone colours, right up to our photorealistic Fohhn Texture Design. Thanks to the Fohhn Beam Steering Technology, the dispersion can also be programmed using software, which removes the need to adjust the position of the speaker mechanically, allowing it to be installed upright on the wall.
