F.L.A.T. Speakers

Focused Linear Array Technology loudspeaker systems produce a unique sound radiation pattern that cannot be duplicated by any arrangement of conventional (cone style) transducers. Our transducers act as linear sources rather than point sources, and generate a hemicylindrical rather than hemispherical sound field. The characteristics of these devices are:

- Extreme flexibility - infinitely arrayable from 40 degrees to 360 degree coverage;
- Highly directive devices allows precise and improved coverage throughout the venue;
- Little to no vertical dispersion, which eliminates annoying reflections of sound from ceiling fixtures, roofs and floors;
- SPL drops off at half the rate of conventional speakers as a function of distance;
- The transducer presents a purely resistive load, thus requiring no specialized equipment to drive them;
- The large radiating area moves a very small distance even at high volumes, resulting in very low levels of intermodulation distortion;
- A single driver is capable of reproducing sound over seven octaves, requiring no crossover in the critical frequency ranges needed for human voice reproduction;
- They handle enormous amounts of power with ease and suffer from minimal power compression
- They sound incredible!

FLAT has already been developed for the profession concert touring and sound reinforcement markets. An array of FLAT devices is assembled from 32 individual transducers, to an assembled size of 32” H by 32” W by 3” D (not a typo). Weight of each panel, including associated hanging and mounting hardware, is 50 lbs. Output and performance are comparable to full-range high power speaker systems measuring the same face or frontal area, approximately 7.5 square feet, but the depth and weight are radically different: 3” versus 24”, 50 lbs versus a more traditional 250 lbs. An entire hanging array of 16 such “new design” panels, four wide by four high, would weigh 800 lbs, versus the 4000 lbs total weight of 16 traditional full range wooden enclosures producing the same acoustic output. As a plus, fewer amplifier channels and processors are required.

Panels made up of varying numbers of transducers can be mounted on restaurant and lounge walls, in cinemas and theaters doing main and surround sound duty, in home theater or multimedia corporate A/V applications, broadcast and media studio monitoring, painted to match home or interior office design decor’s, on simple stands for musician monitoring and club sound reinforcement applications, etc. In fact, any location where visually unobtrusive sound is desired would lend itself to potential flat panel speaker application.

This new technology will soon be available for the church! Please contact steve@experiencingworship.com for info on how you can get these awesome speakers and system in your church.

EXW REVIEW
These are by far the best speakers we have found on the market. You won't find a more clear sounding, lightweight, awesome speaker anywhere. If you are looking for speakers for your church or music group, you must look into these first. If you don't, you will kick yourself in the pants.

If you would like more info on what these speakers can do in the local church, read our article, "Simple Faith". It shares a little of what this technology can do for you in your church.

Experiencing Worship, The Study
Used by churches all over the world to help teach worship, the Experiencing Worship study can help your worship team too. Your team will learn why we worship and gain a better understanding of how to worship. One user said..."Your 5 week study course has made a tremendous impact on my life in the study of worship... I would like to express my thanks for a well written study course that leads into a higher realm of praise and worship."

The Paul Langford Project
This is the debut album by EXW friend Paul Langford. Paul is a Chicago based singer, arranger, keyboardist, producer and conductor. Paul has a career that spans 14 years. Paul's work includes arranging for groups like GLAD, Voices of Liberty, VoiceTrek, The Chicago based "Caroling Party" and Day of Discovery Singers. His arranging has appeared on recordings side by side with greats like Gene Puerling and David Maddux, and he has sung with Don Shelton, Bonnie Herman and Bob Bowker, among others.
