Introduction

Sokar ultra-shallow colinear source

Sokar is a colinear source system suited to medium throw applications that require discretion and elegance. Inheriting
from our line source systems, Sokar brings high delity and live concert power to high- end architectural and professional
sound reinforcement settings, with minimal visual impact.
As a passive enclosure, Sokar features nine 3.5" neodymium LF speakers and three 1" neodymium HF compression
drivers, loaded by DOSC waveguides in a J-shaped progressive curvature. This transducer arrangement, called colinear
source, produces a H/V directivity pattern of 140° x 26° (+5/-21°), optimized for ultra-wide horizontal coverage with
extended throw capability and controlled vertical dispersion.
Sokar can be driven using different presets to match specic acoustic needs or coupling congurations with subwoofers.
A broadband preset provides extension down to 60 Hz and 124 dB of SPL. For vocal reinforcement, or when closely
coupled with a subwoofer, such as SB6r or SB10r, Sokar can be driven with the 100 or 200 Hz presets, offering very-
high output of 130 dB or 133 dB respectively.
The unique combination of discrete form factor and performance makes Sokar ideal for vocal reinforcement or surround
systems when used on its own. Accompanied by a subwoofer, Sokar is also an ideal main music system in museums,
commercial, residential, luxury settings, hospitality spaces, and more.
