Fohhn Beam Steering Technology

Fohhn - The experts in Beam Steering

We have been developing and manufacturing sound systems with Fohhn Beam Steering Technology for 15 years. This enables precise control of sound dispersion without the need for mechanical tilting or curving. It provides flexibility and results in crystal-clear sound and best speech intelligibility without interfering reflections. All info in the video!

Feature 1

Inclination and opening angle

The sound beam can be tilted or directed upwards by up to 40 degrees. And the beam opening angle can be selected between 0 and 90 degrees. Both can be adjusted in fine 0.1 degree increments.

Feature 2

Moving the acoustic center

Another feature: the acoustic center can be moved along the entire length of the line. This can be a decisive advantage if, for example, there is a lectern with a microphone in front of the system. Moving upwards prevents feedback.

Feature 3

Fohhn Two Beam Steering

Balcony or gallery also need sound reinforcement? Fohhn Two Beam Steering enables you to add a second beam that can be controlled separately. This does not change the dispersion of the first beam.

Feature 4

Side Lobe Optimize

With the "Side Lobe Optimize" function, unwanted side lobes and the resulting reflections can be effectively suppressed. This improves the precision of the sound reinforcement even more.

Feature 5

Focus Sub Array

Beam steering is also possible in the low-end. Our Beam Steering algorithm can also control the subwoofers when they are positioned or flown as an array: No matter which Fohhn subwoofer, whether vertical or horizontal sub-array.

Control

Fohhn Audio Soft

To control Beam Steering in real time, we provide Fohhn Audio Soft. The intuitive software makes it easy to adjust the beams using the mouse wheel and also includes all other DSP and control functions. For the optimum Fohhn workflow, the beam parameters can be easily transferred from Fohhn Designer simulations.

Simulation

Fohhn Designer

Fohhn Designer is available for planning in advance. In this 3D acoustic simulation tool, loudspeaker systems are placed virtually in the room model. These contain all the data about their sound and dispersion characteristics. This allows different concepts to be compared and the expected acoustic result can even be listened to at any point in the room.

Use case 1

Conference room

Even in small rooms, acoustics can be challenging. Glass facades and reverberant floors and walls have a negative impact on room acoustics. In hybrid meetings, however, clear sound with optimum speech intelligibility is crucial for pleasant working conditions. Fohhn Beam Steering technology helps to avoid reflections.

Benefits

Clear, natural speech in video conferences
Full media sound thanks to bass reflex port
Compact and cost-efficient system
Sustainable solution made in Germany

Components

FS-70

Use case 2

University

Speech intelligibility in lecture halls and classrooms has been proven to be a key factor in learning success. Linea Focus are the industry standard for the professional equipment of universities. They provide precise sound for every seat from the first to the last row.

Benefits

Avoidance of acoustic feedback
Precise directivity for all listeners
Crystal clear speech
No reflections from the ceiling

Components

DLI-230 (fixed installation)

Use case 3

Theater

Thousands of people in the audience. Several seating levels at different angles. Hardly any sound reinforcement project is more demanding than a large theater. With Fohhn Two Beam Steering and the modular systems, precise alignment is possible for every single seat.

Benefits

Identical sound quality for all
Perfect adjustment using the tilt and opening angle of the beams
No reflections from the balustrade onto the stage
Discreet, straight installation at the stage portal

Components

Focus Modular

Use case 4

Live Tour

Beam Steering for Concert Sound. With the most powerful beam steering system in the world. Rigging is extremely simple, as no mechanical curving is required. The beams can be flexibly adapted to the number of people in the audience.
