  • Page 4: Introduction

    StepArray+ column speakers ensure perfect speech intelligibility and optimal acoustic comfort, even in noisy and reverberant venues. They are based on the DGRC (Digital & Geometric Radiation Control) principle patented by Active Audio. Compared with a classic sound system in which each loudspeaker is controlled independently, the DGRC method makes it possible to decrease the number of channels to be controlled, thereby enhancing economic efficiency.
