Alcons Audio Releases QRP40/90 2-Way Point Source Column System

alcons audio qrp40 90

The Alcons Audio QRP40/90 is a two-way point-source column system with high-Q directivity for increased projection control. It is to be used as vertical sound system, for both permanent and portable applications. Its slim design packs a 1:1 non-compressed linear sound reproduction, with up to 90% less distortion. It is specifically designed for applications where ultimate fidelity response needs to be projected with a very precise coverage, ideal in acoustically challenging environments, or applications where musicality and intelligibility-over-distance is required.

Loaded with a RBN1203 12” pro-ribbon driver, one of the two from its modular sibling QR24, on a “Morpher” lens, the system offers an exceptional, SPL-independent throw-efficiency and projection control, due to the pro-ribbon’s all-natural cylindrical wavefront. The patented 90-degrees horizontal dispersion offers a consistent audience coverage, significantly extending the “sweet-spot”, while the 20-degrees isophasic directivity caters for the side-lobe-free projection up to the highest frequencies.

Its fast impulse response, “compression-less” principle and unusual high peak power handling (2.000W @ 200ms) enable a perfect intelligibility and intuitive linear response from the lowest to the highest SPL with a 1:15 dynamic range, while offering a maximum “gain-before-feedback” up to directly in front of / under the system.

The RBN1203 driver is mounted in a co-axial speaker configuration with an array of eight (8) woofers in a sealed cabinet. The custom-design 5” woofers feature Active Coil™ technology for extremely low-distortion LF reproduction, a perfect match with the MHF pro-ribbon technology. The acoustical LF array length assists the QRP40 in an extended vertical projection control and increased output in the low-mid frequency range, at the same time enabling a smooth but powerful roll-off to additional subwoofers.

The system brings the unsurpassed clear, dynamic and ultra-low distortion Alcons signature sound in a very slim and unobtrusive package; The different mounting options for wall-, truss-, stand- and sub-stack mount, together with the optional ACO color scheme provides for an inconspicuous, low-profile presence in any application.
