Tannoy – QFlex 16LS

Description 

The new QFlex 16LS column loudspeaker is designed primarily for large transportation hubs as part of a PA/VA system where speech is the main audio source, either from live announcements or via pre-recorded message.

The new QFlex 16LS column loudspeaker is designed primarily for large transportation hubs as part of a PA/VA system where speech is the main audio source, either from live announcements or via pre-recorded message. These new QFlex life safety models are specifically intended to optimize voice reinforcement, and as a result make them more affordable, and therefore applicable, to a wider range of projects.

The QFlex 16LS makes use of a fewer number of wider bandwidth 4-inch low frequency drivers than the equivalently sized QFlex 40 model to achieve an emphasis on the speech band only, over an effective distance of up to 70 meters.

Each of the 16 drivers is controlled by its own discrete channel of 100 Watt (RMS) Class D amplification and cutting edge DSP, the reduced driver count and wider spacing enabling a 50% reduction in power consumption. The QFlex 16LS provides a beam steering range of ±40 degrees with effective low frequency control down to 230 Hz. Dispersion is nominally 120 degrees horizontal and a vertical range of between 5 degrees and 100 degrees, either symmetrical or asymmetrical.
