HOLOPLOT X1

The world's first Matrix Array

HOLOPLOT X1 Matrix Array

X1 is a groundbreaking product series that creates an entirely new category of sound system. As the logical continuation of two landmark innovations in audio – line arrays and electronic beam steering – the Matrix Array finally brings complete sound control in horizontal and vertical axes through a matrix of loudspeaker drivers.

The HOLOPLOT X1 series features two Audio Modules, Modul 96 and Modul 80-S. Each Audio Module integrates a powerful DSP, providing individual signal processing to each loudspeaker driver. Combining the latest technological advancements in DSP algorithms with high-performance sound reproduction capabilities, X1 offers a wide range of previously inaccessible sound control capabilities – from covering large audiences homogeneously to creating immersive audio landscapes. X1 is an IoT-enabled system that opens a world of possibilities for remote control, monitoring, and smart servicing. The X1 Rigging System makes X1 the ideal solution for fully integrated installations, temporary installs and rental projects. From multi-purpose event spaces to large-scale live entertainment venues, auditoriums, concert halls or theme parks - X1 will transform sound experiences inside any given space. Custom rigging solutions can be discussed upon request.

The HOLOPLOT Matrix Array enables a new level of sound control.

The matrix arrangement of loudspeaker drivers of different sizes – in a unique multi-layered configuration – enables control over sound propagation across a large frequency range, while providing the SPL and quality desired for high-performance sound reproduction.

The Modul 96 (MD96) is a two-way Audio Module integrating 96 drivers in a two-layered matrix design. The Modul 80-S (MD80-S) is a three-way Audio Module with 80 drivers in its first two matrix layers and a sensor-controlled subwoofer driver in its third layer.

Individual amplification channels for each driver are integrated into the X1 Audio Modules, eliminating the need to provide separate amplification racks.

Each HOLOPLOT X1 Audio Module is equipped with a specialized processing module that integrates the strengths of two worlds.

First, a dual-core ARM® Cortex™-A9 runs HOLOPLOT OS, a Linux-based, distributed audio operating system. Second, a high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) computes the HOLOPLOT proprietary digital signal processing algorithms for 3D Audio-Beamforming and Wave Field Synthesis. This powerful DSP provides individual control to each of the 96 drivers of the X1 Audio Module and gives full sound field control for multiple beams in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Each Audio Module provides more than 200 input channels fed with either object-based or channel-based audio streams. A routing matrix running on the FPGA downmixes these 200 channels into 12 individually controlled beams. Each beam can be equalized and tailored to taste by 24 parametric EQ bands.

With a centralized Matrix Array, sound propagation can be tailored to cover an audience area and precisely target one or multiple zones - achieving an unprecedented level uniformity and tonal balance across all seats, while minimizing unwanted reflections from walls or ceilings.

Both left and right Matrix Arrays are optimized to cover the entire audience homogeneously, providing precise sound source localization across the stage for every audience member. Further, room excitation is reduced due to the precise coverage, delivering sound with unparalleled brilliance and clarity.

An additional continuous Matrix Array above the stage (“proscenium array”), combined with a surround layer of distributed Audio Modules, enables moving audio objects smoothly around the audience, with precise localization of sound sources across the entire room. This configuration delivers the ultimate immersive experience, making full use of HOLOPLOT’s creative potential.
