DML500A

Created for architects and designers

Audio

Designed for architects, the thin design of the DML500A affords flush mounting in walls and ceilings.

We designed the DML500A to facilitate custom integration of 165° (conical) wide sound virtually anywhere it needs to be heard but less seen. You’ll find its form factor vanishing into ceilings and walls in any environment where décor is important.

System integrators are specifying this radically different technology to solve room problems old-school loudspeakers worsen.

How different? The DML500A eschews pumping focused air pressure waves traditional 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.

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 DML500A the top choice for immersive audio.

Superb power handling plus 165° conical coverage allowed an American airport to replace 104 traditional speakers with six DML500A flat panels.

Unmatched placement flexibility also optimizes aesthetic choices and quicker installations.

Rugged construction includes a powder coated die cast aluminum frame with multiple mounting points. 200×200 VESA adapter is available for purchase separately.

DML500A is designed for custom integration into existing structures or architecture. If the desired mounting location is where it might easily be impacted by foreign objects, the carbon-fiber/Nomex panel of the DML could be damaged. In these cases, consider adding a rigid grille to the DML500A or using the DML500 instead.

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) @ 100Hz

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

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

  • Peaking Filter – 500Hz / Q of 0.7 / Gain of 2 dB

  • HF Shelving Filter – 4000Hz / Q of 1.0 / Gain of 2 dB
