EDC Acoustics - Adaptive Coverage Control

Adaptive and Dynamic Multi-Beam Control

Adaptive Coverage Control enables EDC speakers to project up to four discrete audio beams from a single unit, offering unparalleled precision in directing sound energy both vertically and horizontally. This provides complete flexibility to adapt coverage to different spaces and audience configurations without compromising audio quality.

3D Energy Dispersion for Versatile Coverage

Adaptive Coverage Control leverages advanced 3D energy dispersion, allowing precise control of sound energy in multiple directions. This technology supports various coverage types, including distinct zones, stereo imaging, and mono configurations, all from a single speaker. By shaping energy to suit the specific needs of the space, it ensures optimal performance for any application.

Eliminating Harmful Reflections with Precision Sound Control

EDC speakers are designed to focus sound precisely on the audience, minimizing unwanted energy on surrounding surfaces like walls and ceilings. By achieving a 20dB reduction in energy outside of the defined sound beams, EDC virtually eliminates reflections that cause harmful reverberations and comb filtering. This precise control ensures clean, direct sound delivery, free from the disruptive effects of echoes and phase interference, creating an optimal listening experience in any environment.

One Speaker, Infinite Possibilities: The Power of EDC’s Multi-Beam Technology

Traditional speakers are limited to a single configuration once they’re set up, meaning you have to choose one fixed coverage pattern for your event. EDC’s multi-beam technology changes the game by offering up to four independently configurable beams from a single speaker, providing unmatched flexibility for any space or event.

Imagine an auditorium that alternates between hosting an orchestra and seating an audience. With EDC’s multi-beam capability, you can create one beam pattern optimized for the orchestra configuration and another for the audience layout—all from the same speaker. Additionally, a third beam can be directed toward a balcony area, which may or may not have people in it. If the balcony is unoccupied, you can simply deactivate that beam to avoid sending sound energy into an empty space, preventing unnecessary reverberation and sound pollution in the venue. This level of precision allows you to deliver sound exactly where it's needed, ensuring optimal clarity and energy efficiency for every event. Simply switch between these pre-configured setups as needed, without ever having to physically adjust the speaker.

Additionally, EDC speakers can take up to three separate input sources, each assigned to its own beam, to create individual listening zones. These zones can be discrete for focused sound or overlapping for blended coverage. While the speaker's coverage isn't dynamically changeable during use, beams can be muted or activated via API triggers. This allows users to adjust the speaker’s dispersion pattern in real-time to suit changing needs in the space. This level of adaptability is unique to EDC, making it possible to redefine a speaker's role after installation, something other speaker systems can't offer.

Breaking the Boundaries of Fixed Speaker Coverage

Most traditional speakers have fixed energy patterns, meaning they distribute sound symmetrically, regardless of the room's unique shape or audience layout. This limitation often results in inconsistent audio coverage and stereo imaging that only reaches about 48-62% of the audience.

EDC speakers, however, feature asymmetrical energy dispersion, allowing sound energy to be directed precisely where it’s needed in the room. For example, in a stereo setup, EDC’s advanced beam control can extend clear stereo imaging to over 90% of the audience, including those in the far corners of the space.

This capability doesn’t just enhance stereo clarity—it also ensures consistent sound levels throughout the venue. While traditional systems often have significant drops in volume between the front and back rows, EDC’s asymmetrical energy placement allows for even coverage with less than a 3dB difference from the front to the back row.

By tailoring sound to the room and audience, EDC creates a more immersive and balanced listening experience that simply isn’t possible with fixed-pattern speakers. all-in-one customer service platform.

Uniform Sound, Anywhere You Go: EDC's Flat-Tuning Advantages

Traditional speaker systems often require external processors and manual adjustments to balance and equalize sound for each unique environment—a process known as room correction or calibration. This typically involves using additional hardware and software to measure the room's acoustics and adjust the speaker's output accordingly.

‍In contrast, EDC calibration technology samples the acoustics of the specific installation environment. This enables EDC speakers to automatically adjust and achieve a flat frequency response, ensuring uniform sound quality across various settings. Whether in a reflective room, a treated space, or an outdoor venue, EDC speakers deliver consistent tonal characteristics without the need for external processors.

This calibration process ensures that every setup is optimized to provide a Uniform Frequency Response (UFR), meaning the sound remains consistent and true to the source material, regardless of the surrounding acoustics. By eliminating the variability introduced by different environments, EDC speakers offer a reliable and high-quality listening experience in any setting.
