Portable, Flat Panel Speakers from Pioneer Fit the Bill for Parties and Open-Air Events
Long Beach, CA 9/11/2005
In response to the demand for high quality, yet lightweight, portable speakers, Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today introduced the S-FL1 flat panel speaker designed for use at parties or events that require great sound quality with compact speakers. Pioneer created the slim-design speaker using NXT™ SurfaceSound,™ which is based on Distributed Mode Loudspeaker technology. The S-FL1 flat panel speaker offers easy installation, and provides consistently high-quality sound throughout the entire listening area. It is ideal for mobile DJs and bands playing at small clubs, music bars, parties and other open-air events. The speakers also provide a good solution for press conferences, graduations, picnics and company meetings where a variety of people will make presentations to a large audience.
“This new speaker provides a tremendous amount of sound in a small package. The S-FL1 weighs in at just more than 20 pounds and is only two inches deep. It can be mounted with almost any third-party speaker bracket for easy set up and tear down,” said Karl Detken, director of product planning at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.
High Quality Audio
Pioneer's new flat panel speaker system with NXT technology radiates sound across the surface of the speaker. This produces uniform sound across the entire listening area. Its performance specifications include:
Exciter: Voice Coil Diameter 25 mm X 4
Nominal Impedance: 8 ohm
Frequency Response: 60-16,000 Hz
Output sound level: 90 dB
Permissible input: 240W
