With the DLI-130, FOHHN introduces one of the first representatives of a new generation of electronically steerable active loudspeaker systems. The system combines state-of-the-art Beam Steering Technology with digital compatibility. Like all new and upcoming FOCUS-SERIES models, the DLI-130 is equipped as standard with digital input interfaces and related product variants:

• DLI-130 AES – for AES/EBU and AIREA
• DLI-130 DAN – for DANTE™
• DLI-130 OPT – for Optocore
• DLI-130 ANA – for analogue signal inputs

The LINEA FOCUS DLI-130 is a high performance line source system, which can be electronically controlled and monitored. The system is equipped with eight state-of-the-art Class D amplifiers and DSP technology specially developed for this area of application, plus eight coated 4” long excursion drivers. This perfect balance of amplifier-, digital signal processor- and loudspeaker technology enables a maximum SPL of 124 dB to be achieved.

The loudspeaker’s vertical beam dispersion characteristics can be intuitively controlled – in real time – using FOHHN AUDIO SOFT: The vertical beam width, ranging from 0° to 90°, and vertical inclination angle, ranging from -40° to +40°, can both be adjusted in precise 0.1° increments. This means that unwanted reflections from floors and ceilings can be avoided. The result: optimum levels of speech intelligibility, a pleasing sound image and excellent sound quality – even in the most challenging acoustic conditions.

Should greater low frequency sound pressure levels be required, the DLI-130 can be seamlessly combined with active or passive FOHHN subwoofers.

Due to its slim, elegant design, the 130 cm long loudspeaker can be integrated – almost invisibly – into every kind of architectural setting: whether mounted flat against the wall (thanks to its electronic controllability) or installed in a recess. Its aluminium housing – including the front grille – is optionally available in all RAL Classic colours, or with a photorealistic surface design (FOHHN TEXTURE DESIGN).

The DLI-130 has been developed for fixed installation applications, e.g. churches and cathedrals, congress halls and exhibition centres, airports and railway stations, theatres, TV studios, university lecture theatres and auditoria, conference rooms or museums.

The following applies to all LINEA FOCUS models: The longer the loudspeaker, the longer its reach – and the better its capacity for precise control of low frequencies.
