Syva Colinear Source
Syva is a Colinear Source system (patent pending) suited to medium throw applications. It is designed for professional
sound reinforcement and high-end residential applications requiring high fidelity and SPL with minimum visual impact.
The Syva enclosure features six 5" MF speakers providing usable bandwidth down to 87 Hz and three 1.75" HF
diaphragm compression drivers, loaded by DOSC waveguides in a J-shaped progressive curvature. This transducer
arrangement, called Colinear Source, produces an H/V 140° x 26° (+5°/-21°) directivity pattern, optimized for ultra-
wide horizontal coverage with extended throw capability.
The Syva Low enclosure features two K2 12" drivers and is designed to provide low frequency contour and extended
bandwidth to the Syva system (9 dB contour with a low frequency limit at 40 Hz).
The Syva Sub enclosure features one high excursion 12" driver equipped with a KS28 woofer motor and is designed to
further extend the bandwidth of the system in the sub frequency domain down to 27 Hz.
Both feature a bass-reflex cabinet equipped with L-Vents, reducing turbulence and port noise at high levels while
increasing LF efficiency.
L-Acoustics amplified controllers ensure advanced crossover functions, time alignment, linearization and L-Drive protection
of the transducers.
Syva combines the directivity benefits of line length and the coupling of HF DOSC waveguides to achieve a narrow
vertical beam that is perfectly controlled down to 300 Hz. Syva focuses energy toward the back of the audience while
providing smooth down-fill coverage to the front. Throw and SPL consistency are ensured from front, to back. The
combination of extended 35 m throw and ultrawide horizontal dispersion provides exceptional surface coverage for flat
audiences.
The cabinet combines the remarkable acoustic properties of birch and beech plywood. Its slim elegance makes for easy
integration. RAL colors allow it to blend into any architecture. Syva Low and Syva Sub provide a stable podium base for
Syva. The plug-and-play AutoConnect provides a rapid and secure audio and physical link.
In fixed installations Syva is particularly suited to sound reinforcement in architectural settings and acoustically
challenging environments where a combination of high intelligibility, high SPL and extended bandwidth are required. Its
high fidelity sonic signature and elegant lines can satisfy high-end residential projects as well as L-ISA immersive multi-
channel systems.
For rental events, Syva is fast to deploy and simple to rig. Its outstanding throw capability can satisfy production needs in
large spaces and ballrooms where elegance and discretion are a must.
Syva can be stacked as a standalone system or secured onto one of its LF extensions. Wall-mounting and flying are also
possible.
