ST•STX SERIES The most intelligent sound reinforcement system Working together, there’s no problem we can’t solve, no schedule we can’t meet, no project on the planet. we can’t take to a higher level of excellence, from the White House to the Olympic SuperDome, from corner churches to major metropolitan concert halls. Much as we love technology, our greatest satisfaction comes through helping people communicate through music, dance, theater, or the power of a new idea brilliantly expressed. When we make those kinds of connections, there’s nothing more exciting – or more powerful. Here are some of the unique technologies we use to help people communicate: Patented CoEntrant Topology integrates System Specific Electronics integrate pre- midrange and high frequency drivers into configured signal processing and protection wideband point sources. with high performance amplifiers.
