This week at InfoComm in Las Vegas, Theory Audio Design will be previewing its new high-performance landscape loudspeakers before release.
The ic6-Bollard: 6.5-in full-range landscape loudspeaker, and iws12-Bollard: 12-in landscape subwoofer are on display and demo in booth C9901 and Audio Demo Room N118.
Last year at InfoComm 2023, Theory Professional made its official debut, showing visitors the small but highly capable ic6 6.5-in in-ceiling speaker. Via careful processing and computer-optimised tuned ports, the ic6 delivers exceptional low-frequency bandwidth, punch and resolution, plus extremely wide dispersion. Up until now, the ic6 could be paired with Theory’s optional all-weather grille or installed in open-ceiling and exposed environments when integrated into one of Theory’s ic6 pendant housings.
Building on Theory’s ic6 Acoustic Core platform, the new ic6-Bollard is the ic6 loudspeakers installed into a Dark Chocolate (and paintable) stainless steel Bollard housing. Once integrated, the ic6-Bollard becomes a full-range landscape loudspeaker providing 360-degrees of coverage.
It can be paired with the new iws12-Bollard subwoofer to reach sound levels that are usually rare for outdoor environments.
Also being introduced is Theory’s new iws12-Bollard, a 12-in landscape subwoofer. The speaker allows the performance of the iws12-SPKR loudspeaker to be enjoyed outdoors. The Theory iws12-SPKR model speaker assembly includes a 12-in, 1,400 Watt, 4-in voice coil long throw woofer that can be integrated into the popular iws12-6 in-wall subwoofer and the highly flexible Theory iws12-9 architectural subwoofer.
When mounted inside the new iws12-Bollard housing and installed outdoors, users will experience high-energy low frequencies in an outdoor landscape.
The Theory ic6-Bollard and iws12-Bollard will be available in Q4 2024.
