Description

The ShowMatch SM5 is an active, 2-way full-range line array module engineered for premium sound reinforcement. It utilizes proprietary DeltaQ technology to alter directivity with each module in the array, facilitating optimized audience coverage, enhanced vocal clarity, and reduced weight. The 5° vertical module is specifically optimized for long-throw array sections. 

Key Features

  • DeltaQ technology is the next-generation array design that allows “Q” (directivity) to vary with each module in the array for more consistent coverage over wide frequency range, reduced array weight and cost, and outstanding vocal clarity. Arrays can cover large vertical angles with fewer boxes.
  • Changeable waveguides — includes both 70° and 100° waveguides to adjust horizontal coverage. Largest-in-class size provides superior coverage control and vocal clarity. Change single panel for asymmetrical patterns. Optional 55° waveguides for SM5.
  • Compact, portable enclosure — Versatile design allows both fixed install and portable applications, from small clubs and houses of worship to the largest performing arts centers and AV productions.
  • Tour-sound output level — 4 × Bose Professional EMB2S compression drivers, improved with more high-frequency output, and 2 × 8-inch neodymium high-power woofers allow array output up to 145 dB SPL.
  • 3-point “quick pin” rigging — Fast, easy setup with up to 24 full-range modules and 10:1 safety factor.
  • Removable side rigging-guard/handles — provides rigging guard and hand holds for portable applications. Easily removed for permanent installs for reduced width and cleaner visual appearance.
  • Rigging overlap angle adjustment — only on SM5 modules, coverage overlap or “splay” can be adjusted from 0° to 5°, in 1° increments, to provide long throw distance and high SPL.

Applications

The system’s road-ready, versatile enclosure configuration fits a wide variety of commercial venues:
  • Theaters and performing arts centers
  • Houses of worship
  • Arenas and auditoriums
  • Live entertainment venues and music clubs
  • Portable AV production setups and corporate rental applications
