Direct Field Large Speaker

When a direct field speaker or system is required due to site conditions or application need, the Lencore Crossways™ system provides the highest level of sound quality and adjustability. Crossways™ offers a refreshing commercial grade direct field system using a higher quality construction and sound quality than competitive systems.

Tunable by hand-held remote and available in small and larger speaker sizes. Crossways™ offers wider sound dispersion, and better sound uniformity and greater sound quality.

Multiple random sound masking sources, coupled with Lencore’s E-Sound™ technology provide capabilities for:

  • Masking Adjustments: 96 in ½ dB steps
  • Contour Adjustments: 29 steps

Installation is simplified using plug and play Cat 5e cable with standard RJ12 connections. The Crossways™ speaker is equipped with dog ear screw adjustments to insure a smooth installation in ceiling tile or gypsum board.

  • The Sound Masking system must use a unique integrated sound masking, music and paging system that uses infrared remote controls.
  • Volume increments for paging and music MUST be in ½ dB steps never to exceed more than 1dB steps as measured 1m from the speaker.
  • The sound masking source must produce 20Hz through 20,000Hz.
  • The masking must be random.
  • The masking volume shall be adjustable via digital means for ½ dB steps for a range of 30-78 dBA as measured 1m from the center of the speaker.
  • Sound masking system must be able to provide muting capabilities.
  • Spatial uniformity of sound must be no more than ±½ dBA.
  • In open areas and larger enclosed spaces, the overall sound level produced should have spatial uniformity of no more than ±½ dB between any two sound generating units.
  • System must provide two sizes of speaker: 4 ½" and 8".
  • 4 ½" speaker housing must be produced from recycled ABS material. 8" speaker housings/enclosures must be damped to avoid undesirable resonance.
