The 8000 Series arrays are so successful that I would never go back to the traditional horn-loaded cinema loudspeakers. The most noticeable improvement is the coverage at the front of the theatre, particularly at the sides, with its 120 degrees horns. The sound is very clear in all locations. I would be keen to use this series again wherever there is a wide auditorium and good coverage is needed.

We have had enormous successes when installing the range of 8000 Series by LW Speakers. These untis enable us to fulfill all wishes of German cinema owners. For us, this series is the solution to all problems in movie theaters. The frequency distribution in movie theaters is perfect and with so many installations we never had a failure. An amazingly good value for money, too.

Compared to other brands, I feel that 8000 Series by LW Speakers have a more delicate character. In Japan, we started installing these products 5 years ago when we needed a premium product to bid for bigger cinema complex installations. Our clients, and ourselves, are very satisfied with their sound quality and reliability.
Line Array technology is basically an attempt to eliminate the cancellations that inevitably occur between the different transducers that configure a sound equipment. The ultimate goal is to achieve this by making a full sound equipment work as a single speaker.
The concept is based on the study of the directivity and the achievement of the "cylindrical wave", which has the ability to reach all spectators with the same quality and volume, regardless of where they are seated.
Forget about directivity issues!
Forget about poor acoustics!
Forget about dialogs being lost!
In a Line Array system, bass frequencies help each other thanks to the very small distance between them. So the more woofers we install the lower frequencies will the system deliver. On the other hand, high frequencies behave differently: each one will cover only the area they are meant to. This happens when using isophasic horns, a concept that is essential and is basically a horn that makes sure all the waves leaving the high freq. driver will reach the mouth of the horn at the same time.
The isophasic horn concept is essential. It is basically a special horn that makes sure all the waves leaving the high freq. driver will reach the mouth of the horn at the same time. So basically the whole audience listens to the exact same sound at the exact same volume.
Join hundreds of cinema owners, technicians, integrators and ultimately the audience, who are already experiencing the advantages of our modular 8000 Series line array technology applied to cinema audio.
Better panoramic effect between the three screen channels and same acoustic pressure delivered to every seat of your cinema. Perfect intelligibility for dialogs, this model is the solution for the poor passive acoustics found at many cinemas.
The 8200 units explore more applications using the modular character of the LW 8000 series.
