One Systems Introduces Portable Outdoor Presentation System at InfoComm 2010
Nashville, Tennessee USA – June 9, 2010 – One Systems, a leading manufacturer of direct-weather loudspeaker systems, is unveiling a new product at InfoComm 2010 in Las Vegas that answers an unfulfilled need in the professional audio market for a high-output, powered sound system that is capable of being used outdoors in any weather condition.
One Systems’ Powered Outdoor Presentation System (POPS) is designed for use in applications such as sporting events, concerts and festivals that require a high-output, wide-range sound system that is easy to move, fast to set up and is capable of withstanding rain, snow and temperature extremes. Although POPS can easily withstand the elements, its sound quality, vocal intelligibility and wide response make it perfect for a plethora of applications.
POPS is comprised of the POPS15, a bi-amplified 15-inch two-way system, and the POPSSub, a powered 18-inch subwoofer. POPS’ built-in amplifiers and digital signal processing are made by Powersoft Audio of Florence, Italy, a leader in high-power, energy-efficient amplifiers and digital signal processing. All POPS enclosures, electronics, components and its accessories have been designed for use in inclement weather conditions.
POPS15 houses premium-quality speaker components, including a Narrow-Profile15-inch woofer with a 4-inch (101.6 mm) voice coil, a large-format compression driver and a High-Q 60o x 40o constant-directivity horn capable of delivering medium to long-throw coverage. POPS15 is equipped with a Powersoft™ amplifier delivering 3,000 watts of bi-amplified class-D power with full onboard digital signal processing featuring high-order filtering and crossover functions, free-field optimized equalization plus system dynamics and protection algorithms.
POPS15’s enclosure is injection-molded from a special resin designed to withstand rough weather and ultra-violet exposure. All of POPS15’s rigging components and its 3-layer grille are made of ultra-high grade stainless steel. POPS15 can also be flown or suspended for permanent installation thanks to its built-in M10 fly points and a selection of optional hardware pieces for suspension or arraying.
POPSSub is designed to augment the low-end response of POPS and in combination with POPS15 creates a digitally-controlled, 5,000-watt tri-amplified sound system.
POPSSub utilizes an 18-inch (457 mm) woofer with a large-format 4-inch (101.6 mm) voice coil powered by a 2,000-watt Powersoft™ class-D amplifier. POPSSub features an optimally-vented enclosure with large-diameter pneumatic wheels that allow the POPSSub and POPS15 combination to be easily moved across muddy sports fields and large grassy areas.
POPSSub’s enclosure is constructed from heavily-braced, 18-mm marine-grade birch plywood that is painted with wear and weather-resistant polyurethane and is equipped with a 3-layer high-grade stainless steel grille and rigging hardware. POPSSub’s enclosure has been designed to IEC 529 / IP 45 ingress protection standards and its transducers, electronic switches and input / output connections are designed to meet weather / waterproof requirements.
POPSSub also comes with a height-adjustable, crank-up loudspeaker mounting pole for elevating the POPS15 above its audience. POPS15 and POPSSub each come with extra-long 30.5 m / 100 ft AC Mains cable and a special IP67-rated 3-pin XLR signal cable that are each supplied on portable cable reels for fast system setup, easier transportation and safe operation.
One Systems POPS is a unique sound system that is highly portable, easy to set up, extremely flexible and capable of outstanding coverage. It can be used outside in any weather, yet is a perfect choice for indoor uses too because of its incredibly detailed, wide-range sound.
