Digital beam steering puts IC Live output where it belongs: on the audience, not walls or ceilings.

Computer software lets you define the opening angles for as many as four sonic beams from each IC Live array module (up to 8 beams when stacked) and aim them up or down. Meanwhile, the slim enclosure stays vertical and inconspicuous.

Two ICL-R modules can be stacked for even tighter control and higher output.

Iconyx IC Live arrays are engineered for portable applications, with a comprehensive hardware system that makes setup simple.

Two IC Live arrays can be combined for added output and control. When full range musical output is important to the program, one or two IC215-S dual 15-inch subwoofers can be added to either array.

The subwoofers can act as tall or wide bases for IC Live arrays using the interlocking hardware system.

The software algorithms that digitally shape and steer the output of an IC Live are complex, but the user interface is intuitively simple. Our BeamWare Windows application lets you model the audience area, then drag and drop beams until coverage is optimized.

BeamWare then calculates a set of FIR (Finite Infinite Response) filters that control the array. Before loading the arrays onto the truck, simply download the full set of FIR filters from your computer to the IC Live modules over Ethernet. At the venue, the vertical array sets up quickly and easily.

With optimized coverage, everyone from the front rows to the rear of the audience enjoys consistently articulate and musical sound at comfortable listening levels.


Multiple Presets, Easy Selection

The fast pace of live event production doesn’t always permit a computer based design process using BeamWare. With IC Live, you can make sound for many typical applications in minutes, without ever touching a computer.

Nine presets (four factory and five custom) can be stored in memory, ready for selection from the rear panel. Simply scroll through them using the Up/Down buttons and indicator LEDs on the rear panel to find the right one for any given room and audience, and you’re ready to go.

Portable, Modular Systems = Return On Inventory

As a system engineered for live event production, IC Live is built to earn its keep. You know as well as we do that rental equipment generates income only when it’s making sound (preferably the kind of sound that makes loyal clients). The more jobs on which a system can excel, the greater the return on the initial investment.

IC Live’s digital steering technology makes it extremely flexible: with up to eight beams (IC Live Dual) of acoustic energy under your command, it’s possible to tailor the array’s coverage to almost any audience. Because IC Live uses DSP intelligence rather than brute force to control sound, the physical arrays are always compact and visually discrete. IC Live can remain vertical while the sound is aimed up or down using multiple beams to cover a balcony and a main floor with one unit.

IC Live creates six array configurations for anything from a smal hotel meeting to a live concert for thousands of people, all from just two inventory items. The basic IC Live module can be used alone or combined with one or two IC215S subwoofers for added low frequency impact. The IC215S dual 15” bandpass subwoofer supplies the extra bass impact needed for high level music. Two IC Lives arrayed “horn to horn” form a taller, higher output array that can be used alone, or supported by one or two IC Live subwoofers. Any of these array configurations assembles in minutes with interlocking hardware system.


Programmable Presets = Versatile Performance

The conventional line array depends on mechanical alignment to control its acoustical energy balloon. You have to build a new multi-enclosure array for every project: first setting the angles between enclosure and then tilting the entire array. The hardware that accomplishes this is complicated, expensive and can be time-consuming to set up.

With digital steering, the process is simple. Decide whether you need one IC Live, or two. Determine whether you need IC215S subwoofers. For most situations, you’ll then simply pick a preset beam of 20°, 25° or 30° vertical coverage and an aiming angle of ± 0 – 30°. Because you steer the beam digitally, the array is always vertical. This makes the hardware much simpler, easier and faster to set up.

Digitally steered arrays can adapt to a wider range of audience sizes and shapes, because individual control of every driver gives you much more precision and a wider range of patterns. Using BeamWare, you can define and aim up to four beams of sound from each IC Live array module. Each can be separately shaped and steered.
