Large  Line arrays with powerful Neo drivers have many advantages over arrays that use conventional ceramic magnet speakers.  In a array you need to keep the driver elements as close together as possible in order  to create a more ideal line source.The small size of the neo drivers allows for a tighter pack in the cabinet.  Physically the drivers can be postioned so that are are better "time aligned".  The whole cluster is lighter and riggs tighter.  Even the truck pack becomes easier and faster to accomplish.  The cabinets can be be made shallower and still have the neccessary  room for optional power amps if the system needs to be self powered.  Last but not least to simplify the job even more typically less cabling and amplifier power  is required.

The audiophile loudspeakers pictured above use powerfull neodymium compression drivers with specially shaped 4" titanium diaphragms. The drivers are mounted on constant directivity horns that have very precise polar patterns. More in depth technical information is located at:

The woofer pictured on the right represented the beginning (serial number 1 ) of the B-Hive motor technology.  It was an improvement of the tear drop design we worked on in the early 90's. A brand new design this Neo woofer was introduced  at the 2004 winter NAMM show  in Anahiem, CA.  This woofer has been changed and tweaked over the years for better performance
