Spectrum Acoustics, a Portland, OR, sound production company, uses these waveguides to build custom line arrays for their clients. The average line array uses 8 waveguides, and by manufacturing them with 3D printing Spectrum saves a huge amount of assembly and machining time.
Previously, a not 3D printed waveguide required many parts and a lot of machining and assembly. This is the original part Spectrum gave me to inform my CAD design:
With digital CAD design and 3D printing, we are able to better match the contours of the speakers in the line array. This improved design results in better performance. Learn more about the advantages of the new 3D printed waveguide with this blog post.
Waveguides are typically printed in batches of 16.
A pair of Spectrum’s large line arrays were used to provide great sound for SE Portland’s Franklin High School graduation ceremony.
