Biamp 930-00006-00002 Community LVH-909W

Product Overview

The Biamp Community LVH-909W is a large-format, horn-loaded beamforming venue loudspeaker engineered for high-output speech and music reinforcement in large rooms and venues. This LVH-909 model delivers 90° nominal horizontal dispersion with FIR DSP beamforming that provides user-selectable 20°, 40°, and 60° vertical coverage presets. Finished in white and built for indoor installations, it serves integrators specifying a Biamp Community LVH-909 arrayable venue loudspeaker for houses of worship, auditoriums, and other large commercial spaces.

Product Description

The Biamp Community LVH-909W is part of Biamp's Community L Series Beamforming Venue Horn platform, a triaxial array that integrates its low-, mid-, and high-frequency drivers into a single waveguide filling the enclosure face for pattern control down to below 400 Hz. Operating in multi-amplifier mode with external DSP, the loudspeaker relies on Biamp's Community Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers (ALCs) to set FIR beamforming and per-driver processing. Each cabinet carries four 12-inch low-frequency drivers, three Community M200 mid-range compression drivers, and four 1.5-inch high-frequency compression drivers. The 90° horizontal pattern and selectable vertical presets let a single cabinet or a multi-box array direct sound to the audience and away from reflective surfaces. This indoor model uses a PolyCoat-finished Baltic birch enclosure with a powder-coated steel grille for permanent installations inside arenas, worship spaces, and performance venues. Twenty-four M10 rigging inserts and optional array frames, pull-back bars, and splay brackets support flown or ground-stacked deployments planned by a qualified structural engineer. Integrators can pair this loudspeaker with companion models in the range, including the black LVH-909B, the weather-resistant LVH-909WRW, and browse the full Biamp collection for matching amplification and control hardware.

Key Features

• Beamforming venue horn design — An external DSP drives FIR beamforming across the triaxial array so integrators can steer 90° horizontal coverage to the seating area.
• Selectable vertical dispersion — User-selectable 20°, 40°, and 60° vertical presets let a single cabinet match balconies, rakes, and flat floors without physical re-aiming.
• High-output triaxial array — Four 12-inch LF, three M200 MF, and four 1.5-inch HF drivers combine for a nominal maximum SPL of 135 dB continuous / 141 dB peak at 20° vertical.
• Pattern control below 400 Hz — The colinear manifold maintains directivity to below 400 Hz, holding coverage consistent across the operating range.
• Multi-amplifier operation — The cabinet is driven by dedicated amplifier channels; Biamp recommends LF: ALC-1604D (2 channels, bridged); MF/HF: ALC-404D (4 channels).
• Flexible rigging — 24 x M10 rigging inserts with optional array frames, pull-back bars, and splay brackets support flown and stacked arrays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue is the LVH-909 designed for?
It is a large-format point-source loudspeaker intended for large rooms and venues such as houses of worship, auditoriums, and arenas that need high output with controlled 90° horizontal coverage.

Does this loudspeaker need external amplification and DSP?
Yes. It operates in multi-amplifier mode and requires external DSP with Biamp's FIR beamforming presets; Biamp recommends LF: ALC-1604D (2 channels, bridged); MF/HF: ALC-404D (4 channels).

Can I change the vertical coverage after installation?
Yes. Vertical dispersion is set through user-selectable 20°, 40°, and 60° FIR presets in the Community ALC, so coverage can be tuned without moving the cabinet.

How does it integrate into a larger AV system?
The loudspeaker connects to Community Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers over standard terminal-block wiring, and those controllers integrate into a wider Biamp signal chain for zoning, routing, and monitoring.

How is the loudspeaker mounted or flown?
It provides 24 x M10 rigging inserts and supports optional array frames, pull-back bars, and splay brackets. Biamp recommends that a licensed structural engineer approve any rigging design.

Can I install the LVH-909 outdoors?
This indoor model is not weather-rated. For outdoor or direct-exposure sites, specify the weather-resistant (WR) version of the same model.

What warranty and support apply?
The loudspeaker is covered by Biamp's standard commercial loudspeaker warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms, lead times, and integration support.
