OVERVIEW Creating a small size cabinet was a challenge but keeping the sound pressure level of at least 130-137dB in the small lightweight cabinet called on our engineering expertise. In order to achieve maximum efficiency in a finite space, the new line array must have a guaranteed radiating area, which means the front of the cabinet should be large enough, so we turn to the size (depth) of the cabinet to make it small. The design of the HF section must keep as short as possible. In order to guarantee the efficiency, compression drivers must be used in order to have adequate medium and high frequency sound pressure level. For this purpose, we designed a planar waveguide with a very short path. For the HF section, we used two 44mm neodymium magnetic compression drivers, and achieved the sensitivity of 114dB SPL with the ultra-short waveguide. The power of each driver reaches 40W, and the peak maximum sound pressure level of the HF is 136dB SPL, high enough to meet the sound pressure demand of most events. MiniRay Key Feature Ultra thin design Ultra short waveguide High SPL to size ratio touring level SPL and performance High SPL Take into account both sound quality and SPL, we adopted four 5-inch mid-bass woofer were designed symmetrically on both sides of the HF waveguide. At 100W rated power, 92dB sensitivity, the mid-bass will achieve peak SPL of 130dB. Light weight The design challenge. Lightweight small cabinet design. A molder fiber-reinforced nylon was selected for the cabinet, All aluminum rigging, the cabinet weight 10kg.. Easy for one person to set up. MiniRay-SUB Key Feature Two 14-Inch woofers in a compact cabinet Dual woofer design push-pull mode SPL up to 136dB Dedicated Designs A push-pull mode 6-order band pass Subwoofer was created to achieve Peak Maximum SPL output of 136dB in compact cabinet with the Low-Frequency limit extended to 30Hz. MiniRay-AMP Key Feature Highly integrated ,Mixer/DSP/Amplifier 3 in1 Same dimensions & Rigging design as the MiniRay PC or iPad remote control, wireless playback via Bluetooth MiniRay-Amp combines the advantage of both passive and active systems . Similar designed as MiniRay,It can be flown directly above or below MiniRay. To connect the system,Just to feed power and signal to MiniRay-Amp, Using short cables between the amp and speakers,Increasing the sound Quality Fast and easy set up. Mixer+DSP +Amplifier,3 IN1 MiniRay-AMP is not just an amplifier,It is a complex of an 8-channel digital Mixing-console,2 IN 3 Out DSP with Fir processing,And a 3-Channel High-Power Class D amplifier. Two MiniRay-AMP can be combined into a 16-channel console using the AES digital connection. MiniRay-AMP is equipped with Bluetooth,For connecting your Smart-phone or Laptop,For instant music replay free from cable. MiniRay system simplifies sound system from: (Sound source +Mixer+DSP processoring +Amplifier),5 TO 2.

Open Sound Meter is an application for tuning and controlling audio systems in real-time. Allows to measure and analyze: - Spectrum - SPL (RMS, Leq) - Magnitude - Phase - Group delay - Phase delay - Coherence - Impulse - Step - Spectrogram - Impedance - Nyquist plot - Crest factor You can store any result. Stored measurement can be adjusted by gain, delay and polarity, adjusted with filters, equalization. Math function gives you a possibility to average your measurements, virtually join them and predict how they will sound together. For better results, you can apply calibration files for your microphones. For the measurement, you can use any iOS compatible audio interface or connect to your mixing console. Save the project on the device or in iCloud. Direct connection works with Behringer X32, Midas M32, Allen&Heath Qu, DiGiCo S21/S31/SD12/UB-MADI, Yamaha TF and other consoles that have audio over USB. For Yamaha CL/QL you can use Dante AVIO adapter.
