2 x M8
2 x HFA115s
2 x Matrix SPB
2 x Gravity Speaker Poles
2 x Speakon Cables
The NEXT MH 8.15 System is an Active 2-way system, integrating the HFA115s to power the passive Matrix M8.
These speaker arrays have been developed to offer the highest intelligibility at high SPL and wider frequency response while providing constant beam width over a user-selectable vertical coverage. This accurate beam control extends up to 10kHz, well beyond the benchmark of 4kHz of traditional single-driver loudspeakers.
To better control the lower frequencies, the Tuned Dipolar Technology was developed by NEXT-proaudio engineers to provide much more consistent low-frequency pattern control than other similar-size systems.
A user-selectable Music / Vocal mode switch is incorporated to allow quick and easy system optimization. Music mode provides a flat, balanced frequency response, while Vocal mode adds a mid-range presence for enhanced speech intelligibility. NEXT MATRIX column arrays can focus the acoustical energy where it is needed, the listening area, leading to significant improvements to speech intelligibility and musical clarity even in critical acoustic environments.
The integration with high-efficiency DPAmplifier modules, with 1650Wrms, and the advanced digital processing, set a new standard for distortion, noise and thermal efficiency, allowing the user to configure the system by selecting the right Preset and let the system do the rest. Of course, as in the other series, the Presets can be edited and stored in 2 USER memories.
The Matrix M8 speaker has been developed in order to offer the highest intelligibility at high SPL and wider frequency response while providing constant beam-width over a user selectable vertical coverage. This accurate beam control extends up to 10kHz, well beyond the benchmark of 4kHz of traditional single-driver loudspeakers. To better control the lower frequencies, the Tuned Dipolar Technology was developed to provide more consistent low frequency pattern control than other similar size systems. This can be useful in reducing the stimulation of resonant room modes at low frequencies. A user selectable Music / Vocal mode switch is incorporated to allow quick and easy system optimization. Music mode provides a flat, balanced frequency response, while Vocal mode adds a mid-range presence for enhanced speech intelligibility. The M8 column array is able to focus the acoustical energy where it is needed, the listening area, leading to significant improvements to speech intelligibility and musical clarity even in critical acoustic environments. For even greater versatility, the vertical dispersion pattern can be switched for Wide or Narrow coverage. Small conventional column loudspeakers arrays provide no significant vertical directivity control at lower frequencies due to their physical size.
The HFA115s is an active 15” compact and powerful subwoofer system loaded by a long excursion, European-made 15” woofer and it is internally powered by a DPAmplifier module. This professional active front-loaded subwoofer was engineered for high-level and extended low-frequency output. The HFA115s uses an integrated 2-channel digital amplifier to power external full-range passive speakers.
The integrated DSP with A/D-D/A low noise converters, provides eight selectable presets (six factory-defined and two user-defined) that can be accessed by an easy selector, located on the front module panel or real time edited by a PC, using the supplied Soundware software, via USB remote control. This permits easy customization of the sound programme, for various applications or different venues. An intelligent automatic standby mode is activated when the amplifier detects no input signal, saving energy and extending the expected work life.
With the Soundware software is possible to edit the six pre-loaded presets and store them either of the two free memories. Editable parameters are input equalization, input delay, input high-pass/low-pass filters and the ‘bass enhancer’ function. A total of 255 units can be controlled simultaneously by the software.
The HFA115s is also equipped with a top-mounted pole socket that, when in ground-stacked applications, can be used to mount satellite speakers equipped with standard 35mm pole sockets.
