PK Sound has released the Trinity 10, an Advanced Robotic Line Array, the first mid-sized 3-dimensionally controlled sound system of its kind, which provides users with the same voicing and directivity as the full-size Trinity in a mid-size module.
The Trinity 10’s voicing is identical to the full-size Trinity module. Like the larger version, the Trinity 10 is configured remotely, so advanced users are provided with new tools and control over the vertical and horizontal polar directivity of the entire array. While users are still brought world-class sound field control to mid-size class line arrays.
“Trinity 10 is the next evolution in robotic line array technology and provides unparalleled sound field control in a mid-size solution,” said Jeremy Bridge, PK Sound President and CEO. “By giving users the ability to sculpt the sound field in all three dimensions, precision and accuracy previously unobtainable can now be achieved. This vastly increases both traditional and creative applications for both artists and engineers.”
Voiced exactly the same as the larger Trinity module, the Trinity 10 uses the same high and mid-frequency components and waveguide design, so seamless integration is ensured when both models are used together.
Each Trinity 10 module has a Coherent Midrange Integrator (CMI) to combine mid-high range frequencies, and precisely spaced low-frequency apertures for smooth and controlled directivity. The CMI waveguide is variably adjustable from 50 to 120 degrees, both symmetrically and asymmetrically, so engineers can focus on the sound field and increasing the loudspeakers’ long throw capabilities by increasing its sensitivity.
Trinity 10 is equipped with dual bandpass loaded and 10-inch transducers for greater accuracy and output than traditional front-loaded designs. It also has 2 6.5-inch midrange transducers coupled to a CMI waveguide through phase plugs specifically designed so sensitivity is increased and seamless integrationwith high frequencies is provided.
Trinity 10 also features a dual driver high-frequency compression device coupled directly to an integrated planar waveguide, so overall length and internal diffraction and distortion across the entire high-frequency band is reduced.
The PK Sound Kontrol software can be flown straight and adjusted in the air through the user access to internal function– including safety and DSP. The PK Sound Kontrol Auto-Array feature can communicate with each module to automatically arrange modules into the proper position, so the need for a time-consuming manual arrangement is removed.
Trinity 10 also has Auto-Align, a unique rigging system that can be remotely adjusted from 0 degrees to 12 degrees in 0.1-degree increments. Auto-Align means that the need for cumbersome rigging links is removed, so safety is increased and time reduced. To further reduce setup time, the Trinity 10 system stacks efficiently on carts 4 or 6 high with a fly bar that remains attached during transport.
“Trinity 10’s patented technology provides engineers with a new set of sound field control tools to overcome the challenges they face on a daily basis without compromising acoustic integrity,” Bridge added. “Trinity 10 combined with Kontrol loudspeaker management software lets engineers instantly adjust every aspect of the sound field remotely without the need for drastic DSP.”
To ensure functionality and flexibility is available, each Trinity 10 has included local control functions, a waterproof amplifier plate and interconnects so consistent performance in demanding conditions is also provided.
