HOLOPLOT to Showcase the Sound of Sphere and New Speech Focused X2
Visitors to Booth C9801 will see HOLOPLOTS X1 product series, which powers the sound of Sphere, as well as the company’s new, more compact, speech focused X2 product line.
Show visitors are invited to step inside a precise coverage zone on the HOLOPLOT booth to experience the tight sound control of X2. Ad hoc demos will take place every day, showcasing the flexibility of the product, including multi-zone content and focused sound spots.

While X1 is equally at home in large, high SPL environments like Sphere, and smaller, more intimate settings, providing powerful, high-fidelity audio, X2 is targeted at speech-based and multi-content applications, allowing a wider array of applications and market segments to benefit from HOLOPLOT’s unique sound control capabilities.
By focusing sound on the audience area and avoiding reflective surfaces, X2 achieves significantly better speech intelligibility than conventional loudspeaker technologies, making it the perfect solution for public address systems, conferences and houses of worship, amongst others.

EAW Brings New Subwoofer to Support NTX Series Products
Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) will debut its new SBX118F 1x18-inch Powered Arrayable Subwoofer at Booth C9149 and in its demo room, N117. This new subwoofer can be used to enhance any EAW full-range enclosure and is designed to rig directly to the popular NTX Series of professional solution products. With SBX118F, the NTX series offers rider-ready performance fit for touring productions and high-end installed applications.
The SBX118F is a high-output, mid-size subwoofer system designed to provide low-frequency extension for any full range system. SBX118F’s use of a 4-in voice coil ensures the best sonic performance, meeting expectations for venues of all sizes. SBX118F can be ground stacked, flown by itself or arrayed with NTX210L. A ground stack adapter supports flexible, compact and safe ground stack arrays of SBX118F and NTX210L.
Like NTX210L, each SBX118F includes patented OptiLogic technology. Sensors automatically detect adjacent SBX118F subwoofers and NTX210L line array enclosures, improving setup times and eliminating errors related to cabinet identification and array configuration. OptiLogic technology also provides automatic configuration of cardioid mode.
Audio transport can be provided with Dante input and loop through or analog inputs. SBX118F is also configurable from a back panel interface or through EAW’s Resolution software. A universal PFC power supply means SBX118F can be used reliably anywhere.
Barix to Introduce Exstreamer MR400 IP Audio Decoder
Barix is expanding its Exstreamer series product line with the Exstreamer MR400, a bridge between IP-based technologies and conventional paging systems, speakers or amplifiers. The Exstreamer MR400 also represents the latest Dante-enabled Barix device, offering three distinct modes for interoperability with Dante networks. Attendees can see it firsthand at Booth C5069.
Building on the features of the well-established Exstreamer M400 and on Barix’s programmable IPAC firmware, the MR400 hardware device strengthens its LAN/WAN network interface capabilities. It includes a relay output as well as a 1-Watt line/speaker output for 8-ohm systems, which is activated via audio presence or REST API. The relay can control auxiliary devices and activate amplifiers based on audio presence or through a simple REST API, and the device architecture includes five priority stream layers for audio management. The MR400 also retains the advanced buffering technology, internal audio file storage and externally triggered playback of the Exstreamer M400.
The latest Dante-capable device from Barix, the MR400 offers three distinct modes: Dante as a source, for streaming Dante audio to an analog input; Dante forwarding, which streams the main audio output into a Dante system, and Dante as an input to feed a SIP client. Beyond SIP and IP paging/notification systems, the MR400 integrates with InformaCast and other mass emergency notification systems, so it can be used for emergency-triggered message playout in safety and security installations.
