Feb 6, 2023 | New Products, News, Our Clients

¡New products range!

Lynx Pro Audio attended ISE 2022 between 10th – 13th May, the most important A&V trade fair in the world. Held in early February for the third time in Barcelona, this year’s ISE has established itself as the event we all hold in our memories: without restrictions, lively and with plenty of networking.

We are growing steadily, and once again we have had a slightly larger stand than the previous year. This edition we have introduced a whole range of products that will be available in the not too distant future, including new amplifiers, processors and enclosures.

ISE 2023 has been a perfect opportunity to reconnect with many of our customers. This time we had visitors from all over the world, as a result of the opening of many countries and the end of restrictions. We noticed that the interest in Lynx Pro Audio keeps on growing. We have seen a lot of new faces at our stand and a lot of interest in our products.

At the same time, the new partnership agreement between Lynx Pro Audio and NEEC IBERIA started officially during the trade fair, boosting the distribution of Lynx Pro Audio products in Spain and Portugal.

What’s new

Lynx Pro Audio new products range, brings a new developments in acoustics, electronics, signal processing, etc.

GTX amplifiers, ideal for touring

The new GTX amplifiers are 4-channel, extremely high power level amplifiers designed to withstand the rough requirements of the touring market. With outstanding, high efficiency, these amplifiers have been equipped with a quality FIR-DSP with high performance 96kHz DSP processing and a large IPS display with a touch panel user interface. 4 different models are available, from 5000 W up to 20000 W.

Advanced Audio Power Control Management has been implemented in the design of the GTX series. This enables the user to configure the division of power between the channels via the DSP enabling them to obtain maximum power through just one single channel if desired. Optional Networking (AES67) and AES3 Digital inputs are also available.

CPS, new coaxial point source system

In terms of acoustics, the new CPS point source system stands out. There is one full range cabinet available, CPS-214 together with one sub-bass unit, CPS-18S. The CPS (Coaxial Point Source) Series is our brand new high power, point source system, that will be available shortly.

Fot the top, we have the CPS-214 enclosure, an extremely compact & powerful 3-way, self-powered (6000 W Class-D with PFC), DSP integrated coaxial point source element. With dual high power 14″ neodymium transducers and a unique 2″ Exit throat (HF 1.75″ voice coil/ MF 3.5″ voice coil) coaxial neodymium compression driver. For the low frequencies, each CPS-18S is a sub-bass element designed to be used in unison with the coaxial CPS-214 point source module. This is a compact & extremely powerful, self-powered (3000 W Class-D with PFC), DSP integrated subwoofer unit in band pass configuration, with a 18″ (4″ voice coil) neodymium transducer.

Total system control is also achieved through our 3D prediction software (Rainbow 3D) working together with our remote system management platform (OCS). These cutting edge softwares together with the CPS technology provides the most optimum and precise listening experience to every ear in the audience.

Luka series: a new generation of processors

Lynx Pro Audio has unveiled its future LUKA series, a range of 3 models that represent Lynx Pro Audio’s technology and are the successor to the ARK processors. Luka will offer units with 2 AES3 inputs; 2 or 4 analogue inputs and up to 8 outputs. The new LUKA processors will be available after the summer.

Rainbow 3D: our new electro-acoustical prediction software in 3D space, now available for free

Nov 11, 2022 | Our Clients

We are pleased to announce the availability of Rainbow 3D, our new electro-acoustical prediction software for loudspeaker systems, boasting comprehensive high-speed simulation in a three-dimensional environment. You can download it for free.

Despite the existing 2D software and led by Raúl Jordán from R&D department, Rainbow 3D has been coded from scratch in a 5-year in-house development process. In tandem with this, over the course of this year new spherical measurements of the company’s full loudspeaker portfolio have been performed in our recently built anechoic chamber. Carlos Matalí, R&D Manager, notes: “Although 5-degree polar resolution is commonly used, products such as line array modules generate extremely narrow beams at high frequencies, so we use two degrees for those. This means measuring and storing exponentially more data points, but significantly improves calculation accuracy”.

The software provides a visually rich environment, with detailed loudspeaker representations and selectable textures for planes. As well as materials you would expect such as wood or concrete, or textures from imported images, drawings of elements such as a football pitch or a basketball court can be picked from the built-in library as a simple way to add recognisable characteristics. Furthermore, so-called ‘ornaments’ like a basketball hoop, a stage with side stairs, truss modules, or a theatre seat can be picked from a library. Ben Sinclair, Sales Director adds that “while accurate simulation is obviously the main goal here, being able to quickly put together a visually detailed and attractive project that the customer can better relate to is certainly also a big plus “.

Extensive productivity tools such as copy and paste, duplication with offset, and drag-and-drop are provided. Each corner in a 4-vertex plane is independently definable as sloped or round with selectable radiuses, which opens up the ability to use a single plane for complex shapes such as octagons, circles, semi-circles, or stages with curved front edge and slanted back.

Any element can be assigned a layer to work in a more organized way as each layer element can be hidden, locked or disabled for the simulation; allowing a less cluttered view when needed. The simulation takes advantage of all cores using multi-threading techniques for optimised calculation speed.

A project may house unlimited planes and sound sources. Dedicated modes are provided for line arrays (with auto-splay) and conventional boxes. Either of those can be deployed as a group with a definable radius or linear spacing such that a circular cluster of vertical arrays or a line made of columns of two subwoofers in front of the stage (which could later be configured as an electronic arc using delay settings), can be assembled. Additionally, it is possible to save a combination of different loudspeaker models to create a custom sound system, for easy duplication or reuse in later projects.

Frequency response can be inspected for specific microphone locations, interactively applying changes to EQ, delay, and polarity until the desired response is met. A PDF report can be generated with extensive information that includes all views of the venues, lists of loudspeakers with set-up data and EQ as well as planes.

Rainbow 3D is an ongoing project that will be constantly adding new features. In the near future, communication with OCS, our control and monitoring software, will be available. Rainbow 3D is now available for download here.

We have created some video tutorials to help you understand and manage easily the software.

Time traveling loudspeakers at Voltereta Kioto

Jun 8, 2022 | Installations, Other applications, Our Clients

1640

2050

Voltereta Kioto is a restaurant inspired on the Japanese city of Kyoto, offering a different concept from other restaurants. Crossing the doors of any Voltereta means entering a journey to a new destination, living a unique experience in each one of them. On this occasion Voltereta comes with two special separate spaces: one inspired by the year 1640 and a futuristic one inspired by the year 2050.

In this restaurant, you can choose whether you want to teleport to the past or the future when booking. Depending on your choice, you will find yourself in totally different settings, although you will be able to enjoy the same dishes.

If you are curious about living the experience of a futuristic restaurant, you will see that from the moment you enter the venue you will be attended by a virtual assistant, without the intermediation of waiters. The assistant will lead you to your table and then you will order food through a tablet. Once the order is placed, the dishes will arrive on a belt conveyor that will stop in front of your table, inspired by Japanese Kaiten-sushi, where sushi is served on a rotating belt.

The entire room is decorated with neon lights and Japanese drinks and snacks to give it a more authentic touch. The tables are separated by colours (blue, violet, yellow…) and there are QB-5 as reinforcement for the background music painted in the same colour on each one, blending in with the space.

If you prefer to travel to the most traditional Japan, the first thing you will find will be a corridor that imitates the thousand red doors of the Fushimi Inari shrine in the city of Kyoto. Then, when you enter, you will find a very traditional atmosphere. Everything is decorated with ukiyo-e style drawings, lanterns, wooden tables and chairs, small wooden rooms with paper windows to enjoy a slightly more reserved experience, stone floors, a stream that runs through the middle of the venue and small wooden bridges to cross it… All this surrounded by “nature” with trees evoking cherry blossoms.

Several QB-5 enclosures were also set up in this room, in brown colour to hide between the tones of the wood and one of them in green, between the plants.

QB-5 cabinets are the ideal sound systems for restaurants and environments that need sound reinforcement for background music. The QB-5 is a very versatile cabinet, it is the most compact of our ranges and we can change its color on demand, to adapt it to each space.

Voltereta chain has relied on Lynx Pro Audio for its other two themed restaurants, Voltereta Bali and Voltereta Manhattan. In the last one, we also set up enclosures with personalized colours to cover the needs of the installation.
