JBL Intellivox DSX500

Active Beam Shaping, Self Powered, Column Loudspeaker Array

The Intellivox-DSX500 is the flagship of the slim line Intellivox DSX range. With an acoustic length in excess of 4 m the Intellivox-DSX500 not only offers long throw capability but also greater control at lower frequencies. A single Intellivox-DSX500 is capable of covering an area up to 70 m while maintaining an even sound pressure level. The twenty eight, custom designed, 4” loudspeakers and eight 1 ” dome tweeters are driven by a sixteen channel class-D amplifier, powered by a sophisticated switched mode power supply, all of which combine to ensure years of reliable operation. The loudspeakers themselves are arranged in accordance with our patented algorithm.

The dome tweeters in the DSX units not only improve the horizontal coverage at high frequencies but also enhance the subjective sound quality of the system for both speech and music.

An extensive set of surveillance functions have also been implemented to meet the stringent demands of typical Voice Alarm (life safety) applications.

The unit can be controlled using our proprietary WinControl software which offers user friendly control of the beam steering parameters, audio processing and surveillance features. The increased low-mid frequency control offered by the array makes the Intellivox-DSX500  suitable for easy and unobtrusive implementation in very large, highly reverberant and architecturally sensitive environments. The low frequency response of the system can be easily extended using a JBL sub woofer system.
