RH3

3 Sound of Music Series is specially designed for professional sound reinforcement in

theatres, studios, multi-functional halls and for other indoors and medium & small sized

live event applications. Adopting the advanced computerized speaker designing and

stimulation technology, newly developed speaker material & optimized material configuration,

latest processing techniques, and combined with our experience in developing speakers,

Sound of Music Series aims at offering our users professional speakers with utmost

performance, high reliability and quality to cost ratio.

To bring natural and detailed full range sound with ideal fidelity to listeners is our target

for developing such a series. So unique magnetic circuit structure is used for improving

symmetry and precisely designed MF horn for effectively reducing distortion and enhancing

fidelity.

New generat ion h igh ef f ic iency protect ion c i rcu i t is used for appl icat ion in harsh

environment and also expanding the lifetime of the speakers.

Different clusters can be formed for a wide range of venues. The professional installation

system guarantees fast and correct installation.

The mid-high range wooden horn with a phase plug is specially designed for Sound of

Music series of speakers.

The special acoustic foam glued on the edge of horn can effectively control the edge

characteristic of the horn.

The tweeter adopts titanium diaphragm with high temperature heat treatment, round copper-

wrapped-with-aluminum voice coil and compression cavity with linear phase design. The

optimized high efficiency magnetic circuit configuration is used in all transducers for

lower distortion and better cooling due to excellent ventilation.

LF & MF section adopts long fibre paper cone of nonlinear thickness with specially coated

surround which has damping effect and high power sandwich type voice coil. The special

coating of the cone of MF component effectively reduces distortion and has solved the

sound quality problem usually existing in 2-way speakers.

Double woofer cabinet with big phase inverter ensures that there will be no LF attenuation

even with full power input, which can provide higher dynamic range. The acoustic sponge

behind the grille makes sound pure and clear by filtering the unneeded HF harmonic waves.

Separated woofer and mid-high cabinet design prevents acoustic colouration and achieves

more natural sound reinforcement for mid-high range. The speaker controller with DSP

and pre-processing program optimizes the system's performance.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

3-way system configured with four 3 transducers designed by applying latest German

technology.The combination of two 12 inch woofers with 75mm voice coil, one 8 inch

MF transducer with 50mm voice coil and one 44mm HF compression driver with

titanium diaphragm is ideal setup for 3-way main speaker system.

The mid-high wooden horn is 3's newly patented product. Its marvelous dispersion

characteristic provides perfect sound field orientation for live events with the sweetest

and most euphonious sound.

Super bass performance which is rare for 12 inch woofers, and brilliant sound quality

of mid-high range transducers.

124db SPL enables full performance of the speaker.

High overload capability of the transducers and protection circuit for HF section ensures

excellent reliability even in harsh work environment.

Optional Bi-amp. & Tri-amp. Modes are available for flexible configuration. The 3

Speaker controller with built-in control & compensation circuit ensures safety, fastest

technical modulation, and the best technical performance.
