Arbane Groupe will exhibit at the JTSE trade fair in Paris. The French audio manufacturer will unveil its new line array, specifically designed for large shows and events, alongside a new APG subwoofer and a design method technology.
APG, a brand of Arbane Groupe, invented the modular line array and will showcase the JTSE attendees the new UNILINE MAX line array system, an audio system dedicated to large-scale events and concerts. The system features the UM210 2×10” line array speaker and the UM121 1×21” subwoofer.
The French audio manufacturer has also contributed to the development of a new method for determining the repairability index of professional audio products. APG has actively promoted this initiative and contributed to the commission that created the index rating, earning a score of 9/10 for UNILINE MAX.
The UNILINE MAX also incorporated several technologies, including the patent-pending SIGMA waveguide, which ensures optimal coupling between speakers, maintaining precise sound quality across diverse environments.
APG’s SIGMA enables to design speakers of any shape without sacrificing acoustic performance across a wide range of coupling angles between speakers. The same method allows for the creation of pieces suited to designing long-throw line source speakers with low coupling angles or a constant curvature system with limited throw but significant coupling angles.
Arbane Groupe will also introduce the APG UM121 subwoofer. Equipped with a 21-inch driver in a hybrid enclosure, the UM121 features a bass-reflex configuration at the rear with a profiled port, optimising roundness in the lower spectrum and creating an physiological impact. The subwoofer is designed to be used on the ground or suspended, with dedicated accessories enabling its use below or alongside UM210 speakers.
“APG is committed to continuous innovation in electroacoustics to convey the artists’ emotions to the audience,” said Eric Grandmougin, Marketing Director and Sales Director at Arbane Groupe. “With the launch of the UNILINE MAX line array and UM121 subwoofer, we aim to reconnect with the French and international audience in touring and live events. We strongly believe these products will offer a timely solution to the needs of the live performance market in today’s economic environment.”
Arbane Group will start organising exclusive listening sessions from January 2025.
JTSE 2024 takes place at Les Docks de Paris on 27 to 28 November 2024. Find Arbane Groupe and its APG and Active Audio brands on stand #094.
