Parts Express Annual Tent Sale

Selenium Loudspeakers helped to supply the sound system for the main stage at the Annual Parts Express Tent Sale on Saturday July 12, 2008. Pictured across are 16 SLA2P Neo Line Array, 3-way full range cabinets and two SLA1P-SW1 dual 15" subwoofers. Additional bass was supplied by eight 18" folded horn subs which are loaded by one of our OEM clients with Selenium 18WFH1P-SLF woofers. The monitor system consisted of four biamped 12" 2-way Selenium SPM1202A's . These new self powered plastic enclosure speakers performed admirabily even in the driving rain that didn't stop the performance from going on till the end of the show. We all had a lot of fun and the Tent Sale proved to be the most sucessful one ever. We are already looking forward to next year.

A special thanks goes out to "In the Mix Productions " (PH (603) 300-0303 ) from the Boston Area. They supplied all the transportation, sound equipment and a hard working crew that kept the show right on track.

Selenium Loudspeakers ribbon line array 265

Introducing the new ribbon 265 line array featuring a 5" push-pull Neodymium planar ribbon driver in the mid- high frequency section and two 6.5" woofers. A matching single 15" subwoofer anchors the rig. The ribbon is capable of producing high fidelity sound with fast transient response because of it's ultra-lightweight diaphragm. In addition the ribbon diaphragm is made with an aluminum trace on a space age polyimide material that are capable of withstanding the high temperatures (750 degree F) produced when the unit is pushed hard during pro sound applications that need to "throw" sound a long way.

Because the ribbon naturally produces planar waves it is ideal for use in line array applications. The geometry of the ribbon allows it to avoid the high frequency summation problems that occur with all compression drivers and domes because they produce spherical waves. These problems occur when these spherical output devices are larger than one wavelength( λ )apart. They can not be solved with any waveguide, diffraction slot or tubular foam. Properly used ribbons can be placed so close together that as direct radiators they essential form a continous line source even at the very high frequencies.

Compact , easy to use , rig and transport this system is an essential tool for any sound company or contractor. This line array has a proprietary Selenium DSP (2 in 6 out) to protect it during mission critical applications. The cabinets are available in black ,white or birch raw finish. They are perfect for use in coporate AV, churches , schools, performance theaters and live sound reinforcement.

Rigging and aiming software is available

The Selenium line array has under gone numerous improvements. The the HF section now uses two Neo ,top of the line, D3500Ti-Nd compression drivers. We have improved the flying hardware with spring loaded bars. New cast aluminum handles are more ergonomic and form a climbing ladder system when the array is rigged. The two 12" woofers in the LF section are now ported both front and rear for increased output in the passband. Finally, white and birch raw finish versions of the Line array are available allowing you to stain, paint or fabric cover the array to match your architectural needs. Please note. we also include free software with the line array that helps one quickly rig and aim the system. Also be aware that this line array system is 4-way(3-way full range top, 2 x15" subwoofer) and requires a professional quality DSP for proper operation. We provide you with all the proper setting needed to program all of the popular models on the market today. ( Omnidrive, XTA, Lake, Dbx, Shure, QSC, Powersoft etc.)
We take enormous pride in creating our products, and hope that you'll find something on our website that will fit your needs . We also create custom OEM drivers ; please call / email and let us know what you need.

We look forward to doing business with you.
