The Unity™ Series of loudspeakers is a radical loudspeaker cabinet design utilizing the patented Unity™ Summation Aperture Horn Technology, which was invented by loudspeaker designer Tom Danley and licensed from Sound Physics Labs Inc. The Unity™ Series pushes the limits of modern state-of-the-art sound reinforcement technology, which features a radical new loudspeaker horn design, arguably the first major evolution in horn technology in the last 60 years. Ultra clear reproduction through the high-mid band with extremely linear frequency response has been achieved using the patented* Unity™ horn technology, licensed from Sound Physics Labs Inc. Unity™ horn technology combines a single 1" throat with a 1.75” diaphragm high frequency compression driver alongside three 5” ceramic magnet midrange drivers on a single, highly efficient conical horn. This combines high and mid frequency energy in a single 60º x 60º conical horn that produces frequencies from 300Hz to 20kHz. Patent holder Tom Danley explains it this way. "With a conical horn, one sees that at the compression driver exit, the expansion rate is very rapid at high frequency cutoff, and since the expansion rate acts as a high pass filter, the low frequency energy does not couple to the mouth. Move a few inches toward the mouth and one finds the expansion rate is much slower and suitable for low midrange, if only that was where the driver was. All one has to do is obtain a mid driver, suitable for efficient horn loading in that frequency band and find the point in the flare where the expansion rate is suitable for that frequency range and couple the sound in at that point. Because the compression driver and each mid driver are less than 1/4 wavelength apart, their output combines fully and coherently, something which cannot happen if the driver were further than about 1/3 wavelength apart."

 

The combination of the conical, constant directivity horn, 15" new technology Neodymium woofer and our unending attention to details, right down to the ideal trapezoidal shaped cabinet has yielded an extremely versatile product. The U15 Unity™ horn combines a single 1 inch throat (1.75" diaphragm) compression driver with three 5-inch ceramic magnet midrange drivers on a single highly efficient conical horn. This combines high and mid frequencies driver components in a single 60º x 60º conical horn that produces frequencies from 300Hz to 20kHz. Added to all this is the new technology, ultra lightweight Neodymium 15” woofer to complete the package. The compact and ultra efficient U15 is a trapezoidal shaped, 800 watt cabinet with a carefully chosen crossover point to seamlessly match the directivity characteristics of the conical horn to the neodymium woofer. With such a compact footprint and weight, the U15 easily finds its home as a FOH speaker, drum monitor, side fill, front or down fill or virtually any situation where a professional quality sound reinforcement system is required. The unparalleled sonic clarity and smooth frequency response also makes it great for music playback. With pre-recorded music the U15 has the hi-fidelity to put it on par with some of the best studio reference monitors. But unlike traditional studio reference monitors, the U15 is capable if putting out a very high-efficiency 800 watts into 4ohms. The trapezoidal shape was designed with multi-box, tight pack arraying in mind.

Engineered for the serious pro audio user, the U215 is among the most advanced, most versatile and most efficient high-powered portable P.A. box available in the market today. The U215 is a radical loudspeaker cabinet design utilizing the patented Unity™ Summation Aperture Horn Technology, which was invented by loudspeaker designer Tom Danley and licensed from Sound Physics Labs Inc. The U215 provides remarkably even high / mid frequency distribution from the 60º x 60º horn assembly. The combination of the conical, constant directivity horn, two 15" new technology Neodymium woofers and our unending attention to details, right down to the ideal trapezoidal shaped cabinet has yielded an extremely versatile product. The U215's Unity™ horn combines a single 1 inch throat (1.75" diaphragm) compression driver with three 5-inch ceramic magnet midrange drivers on a single highly efficient conical horn. This combines high and mid frequencies driver components in a single 60º x 60º conical horn that produces frequencies from 300Hz to 20kHz. Added to all this is a pair of new technology, ultra lightweight Neodymium 15” woofers to complete the package. The MTM (Mid-Top-Mid) cabinet design was chosen as the perfect vessel for the U215 drivers to be mounted in. An MTM design is ideal as it makes the most efficient use out of the Unity™ conical horn. This allows for better imaging and balanced summation between horn and subwoofers. The trapezoidal footprint is identical to the U15 allowing them to be mated together in a variety of ways where an unconventional cabinet array is required. It accomplishes this while still maintaining the ideal array angle to best couple multiple cabinets. The lightweight neodymium drivers help to keep the U215 total weight under 100lbs, virtually unheard of for a 1600 watt 2x15" cabinet. Compare that to the 1500 watt E2152 at 167lbs and it is easily the lightest in its class. Integrated flypoints means the U215 cabinet can be easily used in many applications, as part of an installed system, or as the center-point of a touring or club rig. The trapezoidal shape was designed with multi-box, tight pack arraying in mind. We put extensive Research and Development using the latest in Acoustical Measurement and Modeling software to ensure that all of the Unity™ Series cabinets function equally on their own or in tight pack cluster arrays. Flying in the air is possible with the addition of an optional ATM™ Flyware bumper system, allowing tight-pack horizontal arrays of up to 3 cabinets at the optimum splay to maximize the Unity™ horn's dispersion pattern while minimizing phasing and lobing.

The UCS1 is the ideal passive subwoofer to use with the Unity™ U15 or U215 loudspeaker systems. This 1000-watt 8-ohm cabinet takes full advantage of its horn-loaded design to deliver fierce bottom end from a surprisingly compact, single 15-inch loaded passive subwoofer. The performance UCS1 delivers from a box this manageable in size is the direct result of outstanding loudspeaker cabinet design. Optimized horn flare geometry careful attention to the front and rear internal chamber dimensions, as well as the use of a high performance long excursion 15-inch driver gives the UCS1 surprising high output volume and extended bass response for a subwoofer cabinet occupying only a total volume of just over 11 cubic feet. The UCS1 is made with a solid 15mm 11-ply birch plywood cabinet construction and has a heavy gauge perforated metal grill to protect the components. Integrated wheels and bar handles make moving and stacking the UCS1 as easy as it can possibly be for a subwoofer in this class. The UCS1 comes in a black carpet covering to mate with the U15 and U215, or is available in a black painted Ultrathane finish (UCS1B) for use with the Ultrathane painted versions of the Unity™ loudspeakers.
