Years of R&D birthed a new loudspeaker technology system integrators are now using to solve room problems old school loudspeakers worsen.

The resulting DML500 eschews pumping focused air pressure waves that point-source cone loudspeakers employ to create ear-fatiguing sound.

Instead, non-destructive waves emerge wide and diffuse to more gently bathe the ear in pleasing, super-intelligible sound over almost eight octaves.

Even kinder on the ears: the DML500 measures 6dB lower despite perceived loudness equal to point-source.

Especially noticeable in highly reverberant spaces, DML sound waves provide non-destructive room interactions, so free of room echo and comb filtering that one customer referred to the intelligibility improvement over their old church system as “mind boggling.”

  • Floor-to-balcony, stereo-stable imaging in every seat is another performance “wow,” making the DML500 the top choice for immersive audio

  • Superb power handling plus 165° conical coverage allowed an American airport to replace 104 traditional speakers with six DML500 loudspeakers

  • Unmatched placement flexibility also optimizes aesthetic choices and quicker installations.

  • Rugged construction includes a powder coated die cast aluminum enclosure with multiple  mounting points (200×200 VESA adapter is available for purchase separately)


Accessories

If attachment to a VESA mount accessory with specific 200mm x 200mm pattern is required, we offer a VESA adapter (sold separately). Other mounting options are described in our Rigging Guide.

Recommended filtering/crossover

The following are the initial recommended acoustic filters as implemented in all DML accoustic measurements. They also represent an EQ starting point for all field applications.

  • High Pass – Butterworth 4th order (24 dB) @ 90Hz

  • Peaking Filter – 95Hz / Q of 3 /Gain of 3 dB

  • Peaking Filter – 265Hz / Q of 0.7 / Gain of -4 dB

  • High Shelving Filter – 400Hz / Q of 0.5 / Gain of 2 dB

  • Peaking Filter – 2800Hz / Q of 0.9 / Gain of -3 dB
