Hybrid+ Altium 15

BRIEF OVERVIEW

The ALTIUM15 is the latest exciting offering. Branded under the premium Hybrid umbrella, extensive research and design has gone into producing this product. It has been a joint venture between our in-house electronic engineers based in Spain with the development of the amplifier module as well as the technical and manufacturing expertise from renowned professional acoustics manufacturer, CELTO Acoustique.
FEATURING THE HYBRID ALTIUM15
Full range 15″ two way, Self-Powered Speaker with Bluetooth 5.0 Audio Player, DSP frequency curve corrected and limiter protected.

MOBILE APP & ENCODER/DISPLAY

Control of the following functions is possible using a Wi-Fi connection requiring no app installation. Any smart Wi-Fi enabled device can be used to control all functions. Alternatively all functionality can be controlled using the rotarty encoder and dual colour display.

Functions:

• Master Volume (-33dB to 6dB)
• Input Volume (-80dB to 0dB)
• Bluetooth Volume (-80dB to 0dB)
• Mode: Mono Balanced or Stereo Unbalanced
• Input Selection: Line or Mic
• Low Frequency EQ: (-12dB to 6dB)
• Mid Frequency EQ: (-12dB to 6dB)
• High Frequency EQ: (-12dB to 6dB)
• Preset Selection: 1 to 4
• Save function

Four factory-loaded presets have been carefully engineered and selected to suit most applications, from back-round and vocal applications to loud SPL electronic dance music.

PRESET 1 CURVE
Preset 1 (Flat): Tuned to have an extremely flat response from 40Hz – 20KHz, with a very gradual roll off of -1.5dB across the range. Preset 1 is best suited for live, vocal applications with highly dynamic content.

PRESET 2 CURVE
Preset 2 IMusic): The low frequency has been boosted by 3dB from 40 – 120Hz, and the high frequencies by 2dB from 8 – 20KHz. Mid-range frequencies have been cut by 1.5dB from 1.5 – 2KHz. Preset 2 is best suited for Electronic Dance Music or any other application where the bass line is the main feature of the acoustic content.

PRESET 3 CURVE
Preset 3 ISatellite Live): Tuned to have an extremely flat response from 90Hz – 20KHz. A high-pass filter has been activated on the LF, cutting frequencies pre 90Hz. Preset 3 is best suited as a standalone for speech or for applications where a separate sub-bass cabinet is being coupled to the ALTIUM15.

PRESET 4 CURVE
Preset 4 ISatellite Music): Tuned with the HF boosted by 3dB from 8 – 20KHz. A high-pass filter has been activated on the LF, cutting frequencies pre 90Hz. Preset 4 is best suited for applications where a separate sub-bass cabinet with high SPL is being coupled to the ALTIUM15.

PHASE RESPONSE
Presets 1-4: All presets have been time-aligned between the LF and HF for perfect phasing. Both LF and HF limiters have been activated to perform in a smooth undetectable manner whilst protecting acoustic components.
