Each passive two-way line source speaker system LX-500/501 has a power capacity of 700 W at 8 ohms, housing 4 x 6.5-inch drivers and 4 x 1-inch compression drivers with Fohhn® waveguides. A dispersion of 100° x 20° (H x V) ensures that sound is transmitted directly to the audience, whilst floor and ceiling reverberations are significantly reduced, thus improving sound quality and speech intelligibility. Each speaker weighs only approximately 23 kg, offering a practical solution for use in various performance situations.
Primarily designed for fixed installation, the LX-500 is equipped with an 8-pin Phoenix terminal block. Its elegant design and birch plywood enclosure (metal-reinforced) are suitable for installation in various modern and historic environments. Its mobile counterpart, the LX-501, features two Speakon connectors and includes integrated handles at the top and bottom. The enclosure has an additional PU coating to withstand the rigours of touring. Quick to install, with simple tripod use, the LX-500/501 offers an efficient system with true line array qualities. The LX-500/501 are fully compatible with the Fohhn system concept. The LX-500/501 can be effectively coupled with the active XS-30 or XS-4 subwoofer, forming the essential components of Fohhn's new Linea Live IV system. The Linea LX-501 speakers are superbly manufactured and totally convincing with their elegant design and excellent sound quality. They are exclusively equipped with latest-generation neodymium drivers. Their slim and rounded enclosure is made from premium birch plywood, weatherproofed and aluminium-reinforced. All standard RAL colours are available on request. Accessories for tripod use or suspension are also available, enhancing the professional performance of the speakers.
Accessories
The optional VLX-600 suspension adapter allows quick and safe mounting of LX-500/501 speakers to a structure and optimal positioning. An optional screw eyelet allows rear attachment of a safety cable in accordance with international regulations. When using with a tripod, the optional SA-8 allows precise adjustment of the line array's sound directivity for optimal audience coverage. 8 M6 threaded inserts and 2 M8 are included for attaching screw eyelets and suspension points.
Linea LX Speaker Control
We always integrate a sophisticated passive filter with electronic high-frequency protection so you can use the LX-500/501 with any professional amplifier. For maximum sound performance and operational reliability, we recommend our digital DSP amplifiers (e.g. D-2.1500). Its integrated DSP technology includes several factory speaker presets. These ensure total operational reliability and superb performance at any sound pressure level. Programmable audio tools, such as the 10-band parametric equaliser, allow rapid adjustments based on room acoustics and associated microphone configurations. All DSP functions can be performed remotely using a laptop computer.
DSP Technology
Fohhn® DSP processor technology perfectly modulates the Linea LX-600/601 and Fohhn subwoofers. Fohhn digital signal processors are integral components of Fohhn active subwoofers, Fohhn DSP amplifiers and Fohhn DSP controllers. Fohhn DSP-controlled devices can be remotely controlled from a central location in the room or on stage via intuitive remote control units. Fohhn thus offers a perfectly matched sound system that meets all requirements of a modern speaker system in terms of design, sound quality and ease of use.
Applications
Live music concerts, DJ events, vocal applications, rock concerts, conferences, classical music events, musicals, marquee shows, festivals, mobile theatre, productions, worship, church concerts, etc.
Optional Versions
All RAL colours.
Connections
2 parallel Speakon sockets for connecting another speaker system.
Fohhn® Hybrid Line Array Technology
Unique! High-performance line array technology in a compact speaker!
The Fohhn Linea LX series systems have a hybrid design based on a combination of classic two-way speakers and modular line arrays, and integrate the functional advantages of both principles. Whilst on larger line arrays, the compression driver, waveguide and horn are always arranged one in front of the other, this configuration was not possible on the LX series due to the shallow depth. An extremely complex project lasting one year and a totally new approach to developing the Fohhn HWC (Horn Waveguide Converter) were necessary to integrate the three elements into the speaker. In the HWC, a waveguide that produces a slightly curved vertical cylindrical wave from the wavefronts of four individual 1" drivers has been spatially integrated into a constant horizontal directivity horn to maximise usable sound pressure. The waveguide was the only element that enabled the development of such a narrow system design without requiring modifications affecting configuration or dynamics. From a mechanical standpoint, the system's dimensions and weight have been minimised by using appropriate materials for the enclosure, magnetic system and other components.
Linea LX: An overview of the main advantages First-class sound with excellent dynamics
Whether for live music and DJ events, or for demanding vocal applications, the Linea LX systems ensure exceptional sound quality at all speaker levels.
Uniform sound distribution with Fohhn Hybrid Line Array technology
Compared to conventional systems, sound is distributed much more uniformly throughout the room, with a pleasant effect at the front and clear, coherent sound right to the back.
Excellent speech intelligibility
Sound can be specifically directed towards the audience, avoiding undesirable reflections from the ceiling or floor. For the listener, the result is clear and pleasant. Speech intelligibility is significantly improved.
Perfect integration into room architecture and stage sets
The elegantly designed speakers integrate remarkably well into their environment. They do not interfere with stage sets or camera shots.
Undisturbed listening
Feedback is rarely a problem, even with complex microphone configurations.
Easier transport and faster installation
The Linea LX speakers are equipped with lightweight, latest-generation neodymium driver technology. Strategically positioned handles ensure quick and safe installation. The compact dimensions of the speakers reduce the space required for storage and transport.
No need for expensive rigging or curving
Compared to modular line array systems, no expensive suspension, rigging or curving mechanisms are required. All line array technology is integrated into a single speaker, enabling quick and easy installation.
