Well I suppose for once we should be grateful that you spared us the knowledge that you would have done it better. |

I was always curious as to why P.A companies don't embrace new/newish that is being used in the most recent studio monitor design/tech. Such as ribbon tweeters etc. Maybe it is and I have missed the boat.
I have always loved the sound of the Adams and would love to hear a p.a version. Top studio monitor r&d always seek the best sound and curious as to what the p.a market/companies thinks about/follow this... |

i believe some of the small Opus stuff has ribbons, and sounds exceedingly lovely hence it is used by many highend theaters!!!.....
edit: had a look on their website, but its a piece'a'crap and the navigation system doesn't work.... gave up. Edited by mk2_ginger_biscuit69 - 14 January 2015 at 3:31pm |

I would love to hear them, both the swans and the opus!!
Has anyone had the chance to hear any of Focals stuff like the utopia with their berrylium tweeter and the electro magnet woofer? Any P.A companies using that tech? Edited by sureal25 - 14 January 2015 at 4:05pm |

ATC have installed some special versions of their studio monitors as high quality sound reinforcement systems. But these are in properly designed concert halls for performances with acoustic instruments, where the amplification has to be as unobtrusive as possible. PA companies usually have to work in rooms with unsuitable acoustics, where speaker placement is dictated by building, time, and cost constraints. In that situation, the necessary compromises are more in favour of efficiency, ergonomics, speed of rigging, crew costs, etc. Plus of course the extremely low return-on-investment that they get from their speaker systems compared with, say, video kit. The general PA market doesn't have the money to support real scientific research and innovation. That's why we're all still using boxes made of wood and cones made of cardboard... |

Except they have done so for at least 70 years? Your statement is a little bit weird considering that you are comparing the studio monitor market to the PA market. I would have thought that the monetary market volume of PA speaker rentals is substantially higher. I googled a few hours ago due to this thread, and refreshed my memory concerning Mundorf GmbH.... you might be surprised by the amount of innovation...... |

http://www.stageaccompany.com/products/performer/performer.html I think it can't get any better than that, Alcons audio also have a PA ribbon tweeter technology. Stage Accompany also has a 64bit 96Khz DSP amp, bit pricey though. They are based in Netherland. Edited by Darkstar - 25 June 2015 at 8:49pm |
