PK Sound is now shipping the T8 robotic line source element, a robotically controlled line source range.
Featuring PK’s patented multi-axis robotics, T8’s output – with peak SPLs reaching 143.5 dB – is controlled down to 400 Hz in both the vertical and horizontal planes. The result is flexibility and precision in system dispersion for designers or operators in virtually any application.
In tandem with the accompanying T18 intelligent subwoofer, PK Cell modular touring rack, and .dynamics control software, the T8 system delivers PK Sound’s patented remote and real-time multi-axis robotic coverage control to a wider range of users and applications in the touring and rental, performance installation, theatrical, worship, nightlife, and corporate event verticals.
Integrated inclinometers and network-based Auto-Array via PK .dynamics software enable each T8 module to recognize its position and angle within the system, enhancing the speed, safety, and accuracy of any deployment. Robotic control, onboard DSP, and network data are routed through the world’s first implementation of Neutrik’s DR Series of IP65-rated connectors for maximum stability.
A pair of vented 8-in Tetracoil transducers with custom phase plugs manage low-frequency response while a Dual Ring Radiator coaxial compression driver handles mid and high frequencies. This three-way, high-directivity design offers detailed and variable pattern control of frequencies from 20 kHz down to 400 Hz, resulting in SPL reductions between on-axis and off-axis coverage points. A two-channel VE15 1,400 W Class D amplifier maximises headroom while maintaining clear audio.
