PCX8

Renkus-Heinz beam-steering technology, now in a passive column.

The PCX8 delivers precise vertical pattern control, and an unmatched combination of features in a suprisingly small package. Passive UniBeam technology offers incredibly consistent coverage and constant directivity even in plumb surface-mount configurations. Eight high-quality neodymium transducers deliver the impeccable sound quality Renkus-Heinz audio solutions are known for.

The included 60w 70/100v transformer, wall-mount bracket and standard weather resistance make it simple to integrate into any system design.

Renkus-Heinz beam-steering technology, now in a passive column.

The PCX series from Renkus-Heinz delivers the precise coverage, high intelligibility, and renowned sound quality of their flagship Iconyx loudspeakers into the realm of passive column arrays. New for the PCX Series is our “Passive UniBeam Technology” which addresses each transducer with specially designed all-pass filter networks, gain shading, and additional frequency filtering in order to generate an asymmetrical vertical dispersion with constant directivity, delivering consistent front-to-back coverage with minimal side lobe artifacts.

The PCX Series utilizes state of the art neodymium 3” Full-Range drivers which allow for an incredibly small footprint. The narrow cabinet, combined with Passive UniBeam coverage, allows for plumb surface mounting via the included wall mount bracket, resulting in the least possible architectural intrusion. All models in the PCX Series are weather resistant (IP64) out of the box with the included gland nut protected input cover, and feature high quality audio transformers for 70V/100V constant voltage operation in large, distributed audio systems.

The PCX8 delivers precise vertical pattern control, and an unmatched combination of features in a suprisingly small package. Passive UniBeam technology offers incredibly consistent coverage and constant directivity even in flush mount configurations. Eight high-quality neodymium transducers deliver the impeccable sound quality Renkus-Heinz audio solutions are known for. The included 60w 70/100v transformer, wall-mount bracket and standard weather resistance make it simple to integrate into any system design.

The PCX8 is available in white and black only.
