L-Acoustics Unveiles Syva Segment Source at ISE 2017
L-Acoustics has announced the launch of Syva, a new format, high power speaker system which features six
medium-frequency and three high-frequency speakers in a sleek J-shaped progressive curvature format.
The groundbreaking transducer arrangement called segment source, produces an H/V 140° x 26° (+5/-21°)
directivity pattern that is optimized for exceptional surface coverage and 35 meters of throw.
Syva is an outstanding choice for corporate events, fashion and trade shows, as well as for sound reinforcement
in amphitheaters and performing arts centers. The modern, sleek design will make it an attractive option for
houses of worship as well as intimate settings such as home cinemas or lounge bars.
Syva can be accompanied by the Syva Low high power subwoofer or Syva Sub infra extension to achieve 142 dB max
SPL. Its companion Syva Low enclosure features two K2-grade 12” drivers designed to provide low frequency contour
and extended bandwidth down to 40 Hz. Similarly Syva Sub features one KS28-grade 12” driver, to further extend the
bandwidth of the system in the infrasound domain down to 27 Hz. One LA4X amplified controller can drive up to four
Syva enclosures.
Syva can be wall-mounted or pole-mounted as well as flown or used alone with its baseplate. Alternatively, Syva can
be rapidly mounted on top of Syva Low or Syva Sub using the AutoConnect plug-and-play audio and physical link. A
RAL color program allows Syva to melt into any architecture.
“The introduction of Syva is a landmark for L-Acoustics,” said Stéphane Ecalle, director of marketing at L-Acoustics.
“Syva is a new breed of sound system combining the benefits of line source technology with a plug-and-play approach
in a sleek design, tailor-made for places where elegance and discretion are paramount.”
The Syva systems were on display at the L-Acoustics booth at ISE in Amsterdam and first orders are expected to be
shipped in early June 2017.
