Floor acoustics Waterfall Niagara Platinum

Floor-standing speaker system Niagara Platinum, produced by the French company Waterfall, is a unique phenomenon in the market of modern Hi-Fi acoustics. Exclusive materials and technologies are used to create an uncompromising visual and acoustic experience.

Named after one of Earth's greatest waterfalls, the case is crafted from 15mm diamond glass, nappa leather and solid aluminium. It has exceptional rigidity and very low self-resonances, however, it is also extremely difficult and expensive to process. The company's vast experience in the manufacture of glass enclosures guarantees their amazing acoustic properties.

Waterfall Niagara Platinum will be a spectacular addition to a variety of interiors, whether it's a cozy living room, a clean modern office, or a stylish home theater. With equal success, she can both draw attention to herself and visually dissolve in the environment, depending on what role you assign her.

Waterfall Niagara Platinum has a 2.5-lane configuration and consists of two separate units. A high-frequency horn emitter with a neodymium magnetic system is mounted in the upper one. The main unit has two proprietary 180mm Atohm speakers. Acoustic Damping Tube technology eliminates sound reflections from the speakers and delivers exceptionally accurate sound. Bass/midrange drivers are loaded on a passive woofer with a diameter of 210 mm at the base of the speaker.

The use of a passive radiator is a high-tech solution, which, in light of its complexity, is far from being accepted by every manufacturer. It allows Niagara Platinum basses to sound even more powerful and deep, and also slows down the natural frequency response decay at the lowest frequencies. Moreover, special weights are supplied with the speakers, which you can easily attach to the passive radiator cone. By making it heavier in this way, and thereby lowering its resonant frequency, you change the bass response of the entire speaker. This setting is very useful for matching the sound of the speakers to a particular room: you can not be afraid that the low-frequency resonances of the room will coincide with the resonances of the passive radiator, making the bass unnecessarily boomy.

The crossover filter, made from high-quality components, is hidden in a massive support platform, and a pair of gold-plated screw terminals serves to connect the amplifier. The conductors connecting the speakers with a crossover filter located at the base of the speakers are made in a very unusual way - in the form of silver "spokes" penetrating the front panel of the speakers from top to bottom.

The manufacturer recommends using Waterfall Niagara Platinum acoustics with 60-250 W amplifiers in large rooms.

PMC Prodigy Speakers Open Day December 9th, Hear The Multi Award Winning Speakers That Really Punch Above Their Price Point!

Hi Everyone,

So it has been a busy old year for open days this year and they have all been really popular and a lot of fun so thanks to everyone who has come along to any of them, to wrap up 2023 we are going to squeeze one more in and being that we love our PMC Speakers at HiFi Lounge I couldn't think of a better way to see the year out than with an open day to showcase the new Prodigy speakers from PMC on December the 9th.

These may be a new entry level speaker from PMC but they are still all hand made in the UK and contain all off PMC's technology that are in their bigger brothers like their Advanced Transmission Line and Laminair porting system so priced at £1250 for the Prodigy 1 and £1995 for the Prodigy 5 they are still very much a PMC speaker giving that sound we all love so much, I have owned PMC speakers myself at home for nearly 20 years now so it is always exciting when they bring something new out and I know that anyone who has listened to the Prodigy range has been so impressed with the sound you get for the money that it is no surprise they have been winning awards all over the world.

Systems on the Day!

I don't want to go crazy with the equipment driving the Prodigy's on the day keeping the price points quite well aligned so in our upstairs demo room we will be running the Prodigy 1 standmounts with a brand that I have always loved and very recently bought back on at HFL, Heed Audio, we will use their Elixir Integrated Amplifier and Abacus streaming DAC, then downstairs in our frst demo room we will run the floorstanding Prodigy 5's with the new and brilliant Arcam A25 Class A Integrated with their ST5 streamer, this new Arcam kit really is excellent and from personal experience I know how well PMC and Arcam work together so we will have 2 great sounding rooms.

PMC Fenestria's singing in the High-End Room!

So just because we can we thought it would be fun to show the other end of the PMC speaker range and we have decided to run the mighty PMC Fenestria's in our end demo room powered by a pair of Bryston kilowatt 28B3 Monoblocks and a full dCS Vivaldi Apex front end, so I guess this little lot will tot up to around £200k so all a little bit bonkers but it will show the lineage from where the Prodigy range has come from and you will be able to hear the PMC family sound in each room from the huge Fenestria down to the Prodigy 1.

RSVP Please!

We will have representative here from PMC on the day to help run things and answer any questions and as normal we will have food and drinks available throughout the day, surely it has got to be time for a mince pie or 2, if you can just fire over a quick mail to the below that will be much appreciated, thanks -

paul@hifilounge.co.uk

So that will be a wrap on open days for 2023 but it sounds like a great way to end the year to me so look forward to seeing you on December 9th, please find a link to the PMC Prodigy Range on our website below -

All the best,

Regards,

Paul.

How to Identify the Perfect Speaker Setup for Your Venue Size

When setting up an audio system, one of the most crucial considerations is the size of the venue you’re working with. Whether you’re outfitting a small living room, a large concert hall, or anything in between, selecting the right speaker setup can make or break your sound quality. But how do you know which speakers are best for your space? The answer lies in understanding how different speaker types and setups perform in varying venue sizes.

In this blog, we’ll break down the key factors to consider when choosing the perfect speaker setup for your venue size. By understanding your space, identifying the right equipment, and making smart decisions, you’ll be on your way to creating an audio experience that’s both high-quality and perfectly suited for the venue.

1. Understanding the Venue Size and Acoustics

Before diving into speaker types and setup strategies, you need to consider the specifics of the venue itself. The size of the room or area you’re working with will greatly influence the amount and type of sound equipment you’ll need.

Small Venues (e.g., Home or Small Studio Spaces)

For smaller spaces, such as living rooms, bedrooms, or home studios, your speaker setup will typically be less complex. These venues usually don’t require extremely high-powered speakers. Instead, you’ll want to focus on clarity, accuracy, and optimal placement.

Consider the dimensions of the room. A square or rectangular room will reflect sound waves differently than a room with a lot of furniture and softer surfaces. If your space has a lot of hard surfaces, such as tile or glass, you might notice some sound reflections or echoes. To combat this, adding soft materials like carpets, rugs, or curtains can help absorb sound and reduce unwanted noise.

Medium-Sized Venues (e.g., Small Clubs or Medium Halls)

Medium-sized venues typically require more powerful speakers, as the audio needs to reach a larger area. However, the setup doesn’t need to be as complex as a large venue. In these spaces, achieving good sound balance between bass, mids, and treble is crucial. It's also important to ensure the sound doesn’t become too boomy, as this can quickly overpower the room.

Large Venues (e.g., Arenas, Concert Halls)

For large venues, sound distribution becomes more complex. You need speakers that are capable of covering a large area without creating hot spots (places where the sound is too loud) or dead spots (areas where the sound is too quiet). In large spaces, you’ll often need multiple speakers positioned throughout the venue in a way that provides even coverage, which may require a more advanced setup, such as a line array system.

In these environments, not only is the size important, but the acoustics are also a key consideration. Large open spaces with hard surfaces can lead to sound bouncing around and causing distortion. Effective speaker placement and acoustical treatments can help address these challenges.

2. Choosing the Right Speaker Type for Your Venue

Now that you have a better understanding of your venue, it’s time to choose the right speakers for the job. Different types of speakers serve different purposes, and understanding which one to choose based on the size of your venue will make all the difference.

Bookshelf Speakers for Small Venues

Bookshelf speakers are a great choice for smaller venues. These speakers typically have a compact design and can easily fit into any space. Though they don’t offer the deep bass of larger systems, they deliver excellent clarity and definition in the mid-range and high frequencies. For home setups, bookshelf speakers often provide just the right amount of power without overwhelming the room.

Floorstanding Speakers for Medium-Sized Venues

For medium-sized venues, floorstanding speakers are a great option. These speakers offer more power and greater bass response than bookshelf speakers, while still providing accurate sound across all frequencies. Floorstanding speakers can fill the room with sound, making them perfect for small clubs, conference rooms, or medium-sized event spaces.

Subwoofers for Extra Bass

Regardless of your venue size, adding a subwoofer can drastically improve the bass performance of your speaker system. Subwoofers enhance low frequencies, adding depth and richness to your sound. In smaller venues, a single subwoofer may be enough to provide the desired effect, but for larger spaces, you may need to incorporate multiple subwoofers to maintain a balanced, powerful sound.

Line Array Systems for Large Venues

For large venues, such as arenas or concert halls, a line array system is often the go-to solution. These systems consist of multiple speakers stacked vertically to deliver even sound coverage across the entire venue. Line arrays can project sound clearly across long distances without losing power or quality. These systems are typically used in large-scale events, concerts, or conferences, where maximum coverage is required.

Line arrays are designed to create a consistent sound experience for everyone in the room, regardless of where they’re sitting. This even coverage is critical for large spaces to ensure that every audience member receives the same audio quality.

3. Consider Sound Distribution and Placement

Choosing the right speakers is just the first step. You also need to think about speaker placement and how sound will be distributed throughout the venue. Poor placement can lead to dead spots or areas where sound is overly loud, ruining the experience for everyone involved.

Small Venue Placement Tips

In small spaces, speaker placement is key. For bookshelf speakers, placing them on stands or bookshelves at ear level will help optimize sound quality. Keep them at least a few feet away from walls to avoid distortion. If you’re using a subwoofer, place it on the floor in a corner to maximize bass response.

Medium Venue Placement Tips

For medium-sized venues, speaker placement should focus on achieving a balanced sound. Position the speakers at equal distances from the audience, aiming them slightly toward the center of the room. If you’re using floorstanding speakers, try to angle them slightly inward for more directional sound. Avoid placing speakers too close to walls or corners, as this can cause bass to become overwhelming.

Large Venue Placement Tips

In large venues, sound distribution becomes even more critical. The goal is to provide even coverage across the entire space. Multiple speakers should be arranged in a way that ensures no audience member is left in a dead spot. In some cases, you might need to use delay systems or additional equipment to ensure proper timing and synchronization between speakers. You may also want to work with acoustical consultants or engineers to help create the ideal setup.

4. Testing and Fine-Tuning

Once your speakers are set up, it’s time to test everything. Start by playing familiar tracks or test tones to evaluate how the sound is filling the space. Walk around the venue, listening for any areas where the sound seems off. Adjust speaker angles and positions as needed to ensure that the sound is even across the entire space.

In larger venues, you may also want to fine-tune the audio using equalizers or digital signal processing (DSP) tools to adjust frequency ranges and ensure an even distribution of sound.

5. The Benefits of Purchasing from a Reputable Audio Shop

When it comes to purchasing audio equipment for your venue, it’s important to invest in high-quality gear. While it might be tempting to go for cheaper options, purchasing from a professional audio shop can ensure that you get the right equipment for your venue size. These shops can offer expert advice, tailored recommendations, and high-performance equipment designed to meet your needs.

Conclusion

Finding the perfect speaker setup for your venue size isn’t as daunting as it may seem. By understanding the characteristics of your venue, selecting the appropriate speaker types, and paying attention to placement and acoustics, you can create an audio setup that delivers exceptional sound. Whether you’re outfitting a cozy room or a massive arena, the right speaker setup will enhance your listening experience and ensure that your audio system delivers clear, powerful sound for everyone to enjoy.
