Tectonic Audio Romania

BENDING WAVE AUDIO - FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT.

“EVERY SEAT. EVERY WORD.”

SYSTEM INTELLIGIBILITY

No cross-over within the entire vocal range
Odd-order distortion nearly immeasurable
Clean, clear intelligibility

MINIMAL ROOM INTERACTION

Diffuse energy vs. directed pistonic wave front
Reflected energy is nondestructive
Secondary reflections do not muddle words

WIDE STABLE IMAGING

Wide 165° coverage
Equal at all frequencies; does not ‘beam’
Sharp initial impulse provides precise imaging

HIGH FEEDBACK RESISTANCE

Already resonant at all frequencies
Difficult to excite into feed-back mode
Open mics usable in front of speakers

PL-11

2-WAY SYSTEM WITH ONE DML (DISTRIBUTED MODE LOUDSPEAKER) & ONE RIBBON (HF)

OVERVIEW

The Tectonic PL-11 Flat Panel Loudspeaker is an ideal choice for small to medium sized venues where an equal audio experience for all seats across a very wide listening area is required.
The PL-11 is a passive speaker system comprised of a single Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) and a large format ribbon transducer / horn. System frequency response is 90Hz – 20kHz (+-3dB) and is used in conjunction with third-party subwoofers.
The DML utilizes bending wave acoustic physics to propagate very wide, diffuse audio energy into a given space. The DML’s diffuse output has a frequency response of ~ 90Hz to ~16kHz with no cross-over network that can introduce phase and time alignment issues or possible distortion.
The PL-11 DML has a horizontal and vertical coverage of 165⁰, is feed-back resistant and generates near-zero amounts of odd-order harmonic artifacts and distortion. The net effect is superior intelligibility throughout a venue.

COMPACT FORM FACTOR
The form factor of the PL-11 is remarkable for its performance. Measuring approximately 3 feet wide by 2 feet tall by 3 inches deep, the PL-11 can serve well as single panel stereo pairs for small venues mounted on stands, hung in small-multiples for increased vertical HF coverage or as large multiple arrays when extended vertical coverage and space are a consideration.
VERSATILE DEPLOYMENT
PL-11s can be stand-mounted or flown from their integral mounting system designed by Tectonic and engineered & certified by ATM™. PL-11s are also VESA mount compatible for floor stands, wall-mount and swing-arm applications.(Rigging hardware as shown or described is optional and available at additional charge.)
EFFICIENT TO OWN AND OPERATE
PL-11s are highly efficient; delivering more acoustic output for electrical input, A typical system for 1,000 seats can be powered by a single 110v 20A outlet. Touring and/or shipping a PL-11 system is extremely compact and affordable.

PL-12

OVERVIEW

The Tectonic PL-12 Flat Panel Loudspeaker is an ideal choice for medium to large spaces where very wide coverage, high output and extended duty - cycles are required.

The PL-12 is a passive speaker system comprised of a pair of Distributed Mode Loudspeakers (DMLs) and a large format ribbon transducer / horn.
The DMLs utilize bending wave acoustic physics to propagate very wide, diffuse audio energy into a given space.

COMPACT FORM FACTOR

The form factor of the PL-12 is remarkable for its performance. Measuring approximately 5 feet wide by 2 feet tall by 3 inches deep, the PL-12 can serve well as single panel stereo pairs for small venues mounted on stands, hung in small-multiples for increased vertical HF coverage or as large multiple arrays when extended vertical coverage is required.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Frequency Response: 100Hz – 20kHz (+-3dB) 100Hz – 22kHz (+3dB/-10dB) SWL
• Continuous Power Rating: 350W RMS (DML), 60W RMS (Ribbon)
• Program Power / Peak Power: 700W/800W (DML), 120W/240W (Ribbon)
• Recommended Amplification: 800W @ 4 ohm (DML), 240W@ 12 ohm (Ribbon)
• Sensitivity: 98dB (DML), 103dB (ribbon) @ 1m, 2.83V
• Peak Output: 127dB
• Nominal Impedances: 2 x DML, 4 ohm, 1 x Ribbon, 12 ohm

VERSATILE DEPLOYMENT

PL-12s can be stand-mounted or flown from their integral mounting system designed by Tectonic and engineered & certified by ATM™. PL-12s are also VESA mount compatible for floor stands, wall-mount and swing-arm applications.(Rigging options illustrated and/or describe are optional and available at an extra cost.)

Applications

Theatres

Every seat. Every word.

Tectonic Bending Wave Loudspeakers produce audio in a way that is fundamentally different from traditional point-source speakers. Our exclusive Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) mid-range panels propagate audio energy by ‘exciting’ a large flat panel versus pushing a pistonic cone or dome back and forth.

Concerts

High SPL audio for 2,500 people.

Many event venues that are attractive to owners and planners were never designed for live sound. Making audio work in beautiful spaces can become a formidable task and is often provided as a ‘good enough’ solution.

Hotel Ballrooms

Deliver superior results the first time.

Tectonic Bending Wave Loudspeakers are fundamentally different from existing speaker systems and a revolution in loudspeaker technology. Everything that is unique about the design and performance of Tectonic speakers makes fiscal and operational sense for companies.

MANAGE TOUGH ROOMS

Make audio work in beautiful spaces

The acoustic performance properties of Tectonic Bending Wave Loudspeakers overcome the common problems of even the most challenging spaces. The combination of extremely wide full-frequency coverage, minimal destructive interaction with reflective boundaries, extreme feedback resistance and superior system intelligibility assures that what is put up for an event will work exceptionally well every time.
