AD Systems TouringLine Compact

TouringLine Compact Line-Array Module

The TouringLine Compact extends applicability of line array technology to fields, in which a discreet appearance, good throw range and even coverage is demanded, but the extreme output of the larger TouringLine is not necessary.

The result is a loudspeaker system which offers the great handling of the TouringLine, but occupies only half of the volume and weight. Its sonic quality predestines the TouringLine Compact for theatre, cinema and TV studios, but due to its great performance, use for “a little louder” concerts and dance events is also possible

The TouringLine Compact incorporates two 6.5″ neodymium low mid speakers and one 1.4″ neodymium high frequency compression driver in an extremely compact, Polyurea-coated enclosure. The physical spacing of the sources has been optimized such that a very homogeneous directivity pattern is achieved.
The two low mid speakers flank the high frequency wave guide at both sides and are coupled to the surrounding via short horn flares and phase plugs. This reduces the spacing of the virtual sources to an absolute minimum, adds some sensitivity, and optimizes the crossover frequency.

The high frequency wave guide has been designed using the latest BEM (boundary element method) techniques and generates a planar wave front up to 16 kHz. In keeping with the TouringLineCompact’s field of application, a module splay of up to 15° is possible. Its ultra-compact, latest generation 1.4” neodymium compression driver offers the necessary headroom with ease.

Scalable up to 12 modules

Both ways are combined in correct phase through a complex, passive crossover network. The nominal system impedance of 12 Ohms enables the powering of up to twelve modules with a modern two channel amplifier. Our AD-Systems DSP and amplifiers offer all necessary signal processing, ensuring maximum operational safety and first class sound quality.

BGV C1 certification for up to 16 modules

As with the TouringLine also the TouringLine Compact uses the proven and excellently to handle „Quick-Rig“ system. The rigging of the less than 15 kilogrammes weighting modules can be done by a single person. By applying highly loadable T6 almuminium hardware it was possible to certify the safe rigging of up to 16 modules according to the strict BGV C1 requirements.

For easy and secure transportation an optional Tour case is offered, which carries up to four elements including a rigging bumper. The Tour case’s outer dimensions fit the Euro-Pallet standard trucking grid.
