The AC6 2-Way Full Range ADAPTive Column Loudspeaker from Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW®) has been announced as a finalist for the 38th Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Awards in the category of Outstanding Technical Achievement. With EAW’s signature ADAPTive technology, AC6 has bridged the gap between sound quality and architecture, delivering pristine audio to venues of all sizes and securing its position as a nominee for this honor.

AC6 packs ADAPTive technology into an easy-to-conceal column format. Each AC6 is comprised of six 6″ woofers and thirty 1″ dome tweeters. Each transducer is independently amplified and processed, allowing the AC6 to yield an unparalleled level of control that results in superior performance using fewer loudspeakers than competitive technology. Low-frequency response down to 65Hz means AC6 can deliver pristine musical sound, especially in venues where acoustics can pose a challenge.  The rugged extruded aluminum chassis, IP54 rating and innovative rear panel control make AC6 ideal for fixed install and portable use.

Atlona, a Panduit company, travels to ISE 2023 next month to celebrate an important company milestone while debuting several product innovations and demos that accentuate the company’s sharpened vertical focus. As the new year dawns, Atlona turns 20 and begins its fourth year in operation under Panduit’s ownership. Both offer compelling insights into how Atlona has evolved over two decades, and how emerging customer needs, industry trends, and Panduit’s AV/IT vision point to Atlona’s future direction.

The Atlona story began 20 years ago inside a Silicon Valley garage as a manufacturer of cables, adapters and video converters sold direct to residential end users. Fast forward to ISE 2011 and Atlona would make its first appearance at ISE introducing digital connectivity solutions to the EMEA market. Since then, ISE has since served as the company’s launchpad for key product lines, including 4K/UHD Extension over HDBaseT in 2015, collaboration systems for soft codec-based conferencing platforms in 2016, IP-based AV control (Velocity™) in 2017, and Wireless BYOD (AT-OME-52W) in 2020.
