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.

procellaaudio-p860-0112According 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
