Procella Audio’s New Flagship Loudspeaker Offers 2400 Watts of Power
Procella Audio announced a new flagship loudspeaker designed for large home cinema and screening room environments. Dubbed the P860, it’s a biamplified, three-way, full-range, screen channel speaker spec’d as capable of delivering THX reference level playback in rooms up to 24 meters (80 feet) in depth. It stands six feet tall.
According to Procella, the P860’s playback range is capable of 24-bit, 96KHz and continuous output levels of 128dB and peak levels of 132dB when free-standing and a maximum output of 132dB continuous and 138dB peak when wall-mounted. The P860’s nine-driver includes a 1.5-inch, pro-quality, high-frequency compression driver mounted on a proprietary Procella constant directivity waveguide (80°H x 50°V above 1.5 kHz). The midrange is reproduced by dual high-performance 8-inch drivers aligned in a vertical Midrange-Tweeter-Midrange configuration that provides exceptional directional control. Procella says these drivers are mounted in a closed-box enclosure that can be rotated for precise toe-in alignment.
In a separate closed-box enclosure, low frequencies are handled by six 10-inch bass drivers, mounted in a unique push-pull V6 configuration. Rather than using the conventional two 15-inch driver, low frequency approach, Procella created this configuration to include a more compact enclosure size and faster transient response than would be achieved with 15-inch woofers.
Since this is a new product that won’t be officially released until the ISE show, it’s not on the company’s website yet, but will be here: http://www.procella.citymax.com/loudspeakers.html
