Renkus-Heinz and Its Beam Steering Technology<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Renkus-Heinz<\/a> speakers stand out for having a clear, powerful, and focused sound in your space. When I encounter a site with problems of reflections, reverberations, and noises that affect sound quality and intelligibility, Renkus-Heinz is the brand I initially recommend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Renkus-Heinz is a leading company in professional sound solutions that uses the most advanced technology to focus and define sound. Renkus-Heinz offers a wide range of high-quality, high-performance products that can be applied in various fields, such as houses of worship, venues and events, auditoriums, education, transportation, corporate, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technology of Renkus-Heinz<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Renkus-Heinz

Renkus-Heinz stands out for its constant innovation in the field of professional sound. Its technology is based on three fundamental pillars: directivity control, beam steering, and the RHAON II software.<\/span><\/p>\n

Directivity Control or Beam Steering<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Renkus-Heinz

Directivity control is the ability to focus and define sound in small and challenging spaces, preventing it from dispersing or getting lost along the way. Directivity control allows you to create specific sound zones that only cover the desired area, without affecting other nearby zones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Renkus-Heinz uses directivity control in many of its products, like the DC12\/2, a self-powered column with 12 two-inch drivers that delivers natural and even sound in reverberant or noisy spaces. The DC12\/2 has a horizontal coverage angle of 150 degrees and a vertically adjustable angle between 20 and 40 degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this directivity or beam steering, we have the ability to direct sound towards the audience and avoid unwanted reflections on walls and ceilings that can cause echoes or interferences. Beam steering allows you to adjust the tilt and shape of the sound beam to adapt to the characteristics of the space and event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Renkus-Heinz uses beam steering in their ICONYX Gen5, IC Live X, and IC Live Gen5 series, which are self-powered columns with multiple drivers that can be individually controlled to create narrow or wide sound beams. These columns offer wide and adaptable sound coverage for various environments and events.<\/span><\/p>\n

RHAON II Software<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"

The RHAON II software is an intuitive and flexible tool that allows control and configuration of Renkus-Heinz speakers from a computer or tablet. The RHAON II software offers features like equalization, delay, monitoring, grouping, preset settings, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The RHAON II software communicates with Renkus-Heinz speakers through an Ethernet or Dante network. The RHAON II software allows for the creation of custom scenes for each event or situation, as well as easy saving and retrieval.<\/span><\/p>\n

Renkus-Heinz Products<\/span><\/h2>\n

Renkus-Heinz offers a variety of products to meet the needs of any professional sound project. Their products can be classified into five main categories: beam steering speakers, passive columns, line arrays, point source, and subwoofers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beam Steering Speakers<\/span><\/h3>\n

Renkus Heinz Applications<\/span><\/h2>\n

Renkus Heinz has extensive experience in designing and installing professional sound systems for various fields and sectors. Below are some real examples of projects that have used Renkus Heinz products to improve sound quality and intelligibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Houses of Worship<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"

The Cathedral of Valledupar is a Catholic temple located in the city of Valledupar, Colombia. It is a historic building dating back to the 18th century and has a capacity for 1,500 people. The temple had acoustic problems due to its architecture and its location in an area with heavy traffic and noise.<\/span><\/p>\n

To solve these problems, Schallertech designed and installed a professional sound system based on Renkus Heinz products. The system consists of two IC Live Gen5 columns with beam steering technology that were placed on either side of the main altar, two DR18-2R subwoofers located under the altar, and four CFX61 speakers distributed across the ceiling to reinforce the sound in the furthest areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The result is clear and intelligible sound that covers the entire central nave and the side chapels, without causing reflections or interferences. The system is controlled by RHAON II software from a Yamaha TF1 digital console.<\/span><\/p>\n

Venues and Events<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Horizontal

The Auditorium at the Puerta de Oro Convention Center is a multifunctional space located in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. It has a capacity for 400 people and is used to host various cultural, social, and corporate events.<\/span><\/p>\n

To equip the auditorium with professional sound suitable for its magnitude, Schallertech designed and installed a professional sound system based on Renkus Heinz products. The system consists of a horizontal line array made up of 4 modules that were suspended on each side of the stage, and two subwoofers placed beside the arrays.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Horizontal

The result is powerful and uniform sound that covers the entire auditorium, without causing distortions or dead zones. The system is controlled by RHAON II software from a Yamaha CL5 digital console.<\/span><\/p>\n

Auditoriums<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Renkus-Heinz

The Mutis Auditorium of the Universidad del Rosario is an academic space located in the city of Bogot\u00e1, Colombia. It is an auditorium over 100 years old, long and overly reverberant, where the previous speakers had to be removed because the speech was not understandable. The auditorium is used for conferences, seminars, and talks.<\/span><\/p>\n

To improve the auditorium’s acoustics and intelligibility, Schallertech designed and installed a professional sound system based on Renkus Heinz products. The system consists of two IC16-RN columns with beam steering technology placed on either side of the stage, two PN212 subwoofers located under the stage, and two CF121M floor monitors used as stage returns for the speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The result is clear and intelligible sound that focuses the sound towards the audience and avoids unwanted reflections.<\/span><\/p>\n
