Rainbow 3D, the new acoustic simulation software being developed by Lynx Pro Audio

R&D Lynx Pro Audio’s department is working on Rainbow 3D, a new acoustic simulation software in a 3D and dynamic environment. With a sophisticated design, Rainbow 3D stands out for its speed, being able to do a simulation in a few seconds. It has algorithms for beam steering and optimizing the listening area.

Rainbow 3D has been programmed from scratch by the engineers of Lynx Pro Audio, using new programming procedures that achieve an effective simulation with a really low calculation time. For example: calculating 40 sound sources lasts less than 1 second.

The program can simulate all Lynx Pro Audio’s acoustic enclosures located in a 3D space, including the classic side and top views. It can also define multiple listening zones and include an unlimited number of sound sources. Allows the acoustic simulation for all audio systems: subwoofers, arrays, columns and individual boxes.

Optimization algorithms are used in the listening area to cover the sound pressure and the frequency response. This task is carried out in a matter of seconds thanks to the processing of FIR filters. In addition, the export of FIR coefficients can be performed with the optimization for later loading in the DSP, via Ethernet or a USB device. In the near future, you can communicate directly with the OCS (Online Control System) of Lynx Pro Audio.

Rainbow 3D has the chance of adding DSP processes in the simulation and uses algorithms to control the directivity (beam steering) in columns, without the need to tilt them physically, being able to divide the column into several beams that point to different zones.

Likewise, the R&D department is developing multiple measurement and analysis tools of the calculated data. For example, the sound pressure curves (SPL) in the listening areas and the capture of virtual measurements that show the frequency response in the points of location indicated and added.

Rainbow 3D presents some preliminary features: the ability to import CAD files, as well as the use of Google Maps. By adding the coordinates of the event, you can see the Google Maps image (with or without relief) and superimpose the result of the acoustic simulation to predict the sound pressure in the whole room.

Being a technology developed by our own engineers, we can adapt to the needs of our clients, make improvements when necessary and develop new tools. Rainbow 3D is a project that is constantly growing and that raises us endless possibilities.

Juno series installation in Mamaka Hotel, Bali

Juno series installation in Mamaka Hotel, Bali

Bali seems to be the perfect place for our weather-resistant small enclosures Juno series. 

Our Indonesian distributor (Melodia) and their AV consultant partner Sontastic have been tasked with installing the Mamaka Hotel, south Bali. This is one of the most visited cities in Asia and since it has a tropical climate with heavy rain, outdoor installations need weather-resistant cabinets. 

MAMAKA Hotel is a beach-front urban resort for modern travellers, foodies and social-surfers alike, perfectly positioned in the thriving neighbourhood of Kuta Legian. It is part of the Ovolo Hotels group, an independent group with boutique lifestyle hotels.

49 Juno enclosures have been installed, distributed among the entrance of the hotel, the restaurant, lounge bar, DJ area and swimming pool. The white finish 6″ speakers (JN-6T) were installed mainly indoor while the black finish 8″ speakers can be found between the pool & DJ area.

This is a detailed breakdown of the sound installation: 

  • Entrance, 2 white JN-6T speakers
  • Lounge bar, 7 white JN-6T speakers
  • Restaurant, 6 white JN-6T speakers
  • Dining bar & DJ area, 17 JN-6T speakers (11 in white colour and  6 in black colour)
  • VIP mezzanine area, 3 white JN-6T speakers
  • Pool, 8 black JN-8T speakers
  • VIP pool, 6 black JN-6T speakers

 

Most of the speakers have been set up horizontally, using the U-bracket supplied as standard with each cabinet.

Juno series are a competitive solution for these kind of installations since it’s a very discreet and elegant speaker with weather-resistant features, high durability and superior performance with full sound over a large listening area.

Lynx Pro Audio presents the new coaxial Line Array speakers at ISE 2020

Lynx Pro Audio presents the new coaxial Line Array speakers at ISE 2020

Lynx Pro Audio has returned this year to ISE, the most important fair in the audiovisual world held in Amsterdam. On this occasion we presented two important products at the fair: A new series of ultra light line arrays with coaxial drivers (CLS series) and the improved acoustic prediction software “Rainbow 3D”.


Jesús Fuentes, product manager of Lynx Pro Audio, Ben Sinclair, sales manager, and Néstor Varela, acoustic engineer from the R&D department, were all present, showing the new CLS series, a revolutionary line arrays series together with a large selection of already existing 
Lynx Pro Audio brand products. In addition, Nestor Varela was demonstrating the Rainbow 3D acoustic prediction software, teaching its functionality and features to interested attendees.

This year the people who approached the stand have also been able to take physical copies of the new catalogue which contains information about the company, product range, technology and software development. You can take a look at it by clicking here.

Summary of products that have been exhibited this year:

CLS Series: Coaxial Line Source

The CLS (Coaxial Line Source) Series is our newest scalable line array solution.

There are two full range cabinets available, CLS-212 & CLS-28 and three sub-bass options; CLS-121S, CLS-218S and CLS-118S.

All enclosures are designed to offer incredible output in the most compact format possibleFor example, the CLS-28 enclosure only measures 60 cm and weighs 27 kg with a power of 2800W. The CLS-212 measures 80 cm and weighs 47 kg with a power of 6000W.

Extreme care has been taken to select and customize the most advanced components on the market, including coaxial Mid/high drivers together with full electronic synergy through the coupling of the system amplification & integrated DSP technology.

HR series with Marine Grade option:

In ISE, HR-1296/7 and HR-28 were exposed in an upright position. Both are available with the Marine Grade option: designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. The Marine Grade is ideal for facilities where the enclosures are exposed to the elements, such as cruises or beach clubs.

These enclosures are specially manufactured with more resistant materials so that the exterior is not worn and specially chosen components to protect the internal elements.

Ionic Series: smart & slim column speakers with water-vinyl customization available

Smart & slim column speakers designed for reverberant installations where intelligible, clear voice reproduction is paramount and where a low profile, discreet column is required.

The Ionic range of columns is our solution for lightweight installation column speakers, both portable or permanent applications. The Ionic series comprises two modular columns, one coaxial full-range and two subwoofers.

One of the columns, the Ionic-50, measures 50 cm and the Ionic-100 is 100 cm high. These columns are very discreet in black or white colour, but they can also be customized with water-vinyl patterns, achieving an incredible design and appearance.

The tops can be powered from the subwoofers and also offer various preset configurations from the integrated DSP.  This series is completed with a 5 ”box, Ionic-5CX, very compact and versatile.

CXA-12: constant curvature line source

The CXA is intended as a flexible solution for both fixed installations and touring where wide coverage is required from as few line array elements as possible.

Designed to be flown either horizontally or vertically, this line source system can be used as a single element or a combination of a maximum of 4 cabinets in array configuration.

The CXA-12 uses one 12″ LF/MF speaker next to a custom Multidriver waveguide system. The enclosure is self-powered with a total of 1400W (Class D, witch mode power supply), with PFC system and DSP processor with linear phase FIR filters.
