LD Systems – Free Your Sound
Perfect Sound is an illusion. However, the freedom to flexibly implement your own sound ideas is not. At Prolight + Sound, LD Systems will reveal the brand’s new positioning and demonstrate how this comprehensive approach has accompanied and defined the latest from the Adam Hall Group’s pro audio brand from the onset: from the U500 IEM Series’ in-ear monitoring systems, the MAUI i1 fixed installation solution, the compact IMA and IPA installation amplifiers, to the flexible and rugged DQOR outdoor speakers. LD Systems – free your sound.
LD Systems U500 IEM
LD Systems will present its U500 IEM Series of in-ear monitoring systems designed for bands, musicians and hire companies who value optimum reliability and excellent audio performance. Available as a set with or without headphones, the U500 IEM Series offers a switchable transmitting power of 2 mW, 10 mW and 30 mW, an incredibly clear OLED display, 3-band EQ with parametric mids, username entry and storage for ten presets. Depending on the frequency band, it also allows for the operation of up to 12 parallel systems. The U500 IEM Series is available in five versions for worldwide use in different frequency ranges.
LD Systems MAUI i1 for Fixed Installations
The MAUI i1 sees LD Systems take the next step and also allow planners, integrators and end users to use the award-winning active column speakers as part of fixed installations. The MAUI i1 features nine 3-inch full-range neodymium woofers and two 1-inch high-frequency drivers, including 2-way crossover, to deliver 120 W (RMS) at 8 ohms. The BEM-optimized high-frequency waveguides provide precise control of vertical dispersion in order to ensure consistent sound distribution, even in acoustically difficult environments. For seamless integration into speaker systems with constant voltage, the MAUI i1 also has an 8 ohm/70 V/100 V switch with taps for 60, 30, 15 and 7.5 watts. A special U-shaped bracket for flexible wall mounting is supplied.
LD Systems IPA & IMA Installation Amplifiers
With the IPA and IMA series, LD Systems expands its growing installation portfolio to include high-performance mixing amplifiers specifically for fixed installations. The IPA series includes DSP-based, 4-channel power amplifiers – IPA412 (120 W) and IPA424 (240 W) – with built-in transformers per channel, 100 V/70 V-taps and a low-Z output (4 ohms). The IPA-models can be equipped with an expansion card to control all parameters via Ethernet and to integrate the amplifier into larger installation networks via Dante AoIP-connectivity. The IPA series can also communicate with remote devices and paging microphones via a CAN bus (controller area network).
With the IMA30, LD systems presents the first component of the new IMA series. Thanks to a wide range of input and output options, including Bluetooth for the wireless connection of music sources, as well as multilevel priority switching, the mixing amplifier in compact 9.5-inch housing can be flexibly integrated into commercial and industrial applications. The IMA30 provides four priority levels for emergency calls, microphone/line inputs and music sources, as well as selectable automatic standby mode for Energy Star certification.
LD Systems DQOR Outdoor Speakers
The new DQOR-series installation speakers are suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects. The 2-way systems in the updated, dynamic LD Systems design are available in 3”, 5.25” and 8” editions and are available in low and high-impedance versions at 8 or 16 ohms. Furthermore, the DQOR models have a selector switch for selectable power tapping in 70/100 V environments. For flexible use in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications, the housing features an integrated wall-mounting bracket and a practical slide/lock mechanism. Thanks to the recessed front panel with no visible cable routes, the DQOR series is also suitable for integration into sophisticated interior design environments. For precision sound dispersion, such as in gastronomy and retail sectors, the speakers have a built-in 27° and 45° tilt-and-pan mechanism. The new DQOR series is available in black and white.
