Presonus Listening Party

/in /by

Pro Sound & Lighting & PreSonus invite you to our Listening Party to hear the new StudioLive AI Series PA Loudspeakers.

Tuesday, December 17th, 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The StudioLive AI series speakers are a partnership between PreSonus and Fulcrum Acoustic’s legendary engineer David Gunness (formerly of EAW and Electro-Voice). Rather than take the usual brute-force approach to PA-speaker design, the team designed a coaxial loudspeaker that would employ Fulcrum’s unique DSP-based approach.

The StudioLive AI series is based on an all-new coaxial speaker design that combines an 8-inch midrange transducer and a 1.5-inch titanium dome compression driver/wide,-dispersion horn. The transducers are custom-designed, and each speaker has more onboard processing power than three rack-mount speaker processors! This powerful DSP enables the use of Fulcrum Acoustic’s high-end TQ™ Temporal Equalization algorithms, resulting in a coaxial speaker system with exceptional clarity and coherence. The processor is used to manage horn reflection, linear time and amplitude anomalies correction, performance contouring, and dynamic and excursion limiting.

The result is studio-monitor sound on a huge scale: Studio…Live!

The StudioLive AI series consists of three full-range systems and a subwoofer; the StudioLive 312AI, StudioLive 315AI, StudioLive 328AI, and StudioLive 18sAI.

What: Pro Sound & Lighting and PreSonus StudioLive AI Listening Party
Where: Pro Sound & Lighting, Annex Building: Get Directions
When: Tuesday, December 17th, 2013 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

This event is BYOM (bring your own music)!
