Sony SLS-1A Powered Line-Array Speaker
Rich, powerful sound with large display solutions
Give every audience member a rich, powerful sound experiencein corporate and educational environments. The SLS-1A is a compact, uniquelyversatile line-array speaker system that offers an ideal audio reinforcementsolution in conjunction with large display solutions including our BRAVIAprofessional displays, projectors, and Crystal LED video walls.
Clear, low-distortion full-range sound
The SLS-1A features eight full-range driver units mounted ina line array configuration, supplemented by a powerful integrated multi-channelamplification system. Sound is delivered with remarkable richness, accuracy andpresence in any listening environment.
Compact size, flexible installation
The SLS-1A offers an ideal sound solution in a wide range oflistening environments. The compact line-array unit can be discreetly mountedto suit any size or shape of room. Multiple SLS-A1 units can be mountedhorizontally or vertically, and ‘cascaded’ via a single Ethernet cable as partof a Dante digital audio network to simplify wiring in large-scale AVinstallations.
Compact yet powerful
Rigid aluminum body measuring just 92 x 384 x 110*mm housesspeakers and amplification, delivering high sound pressure levels from acompact unit.
Flexible mounting and expansion options
Mount horizontally or vertically. Easily link multiple unitsfor larger scale sound installations.
Flexible beam setting
Adjust sound settings using hardware switches, third partyEASE Focus software or Sony’s PC app that controls beam steering, spread andEQ.
On-screen center sound localization
The SLS-1A is an ideal sound reinforcement partner for largedisplay installations including our BRAVIA 100” 4K professional display,projectors and Sony’s Crystal LED system. In contrast with normal point-sourcespeakers, the SLS-1A offers a large ‘sweet spot’ that can be accuratelycontrolled for clear, consistent sound over a wide listening area in any venue -from corporate showrooms, entrance lobbies and retail spaces to lecturetheatres and auditoriums. The finely controlled beam is also particularlysuited to providing even sound coverage in venues like auditoriums with a rakedfloor.
Better sound in any room
Unlike standard speakers, the line array design of theSLS-1A minimizes sound reflections from ceilings, walls, and floors. Audiencescan hear uniform, clearly directed sound with less attenuation over longdistances, independent of room size or shape.
