JBL Intellivox DS380 HD Active Beam-Shaping Column Loudspeaker Array – Top Amp

The JBL Intellivox DS380 HD is a premium, active beam-shaping column loudspeaker designed for professional audio environments where clarity and precision are essential. Engineered to provide consistent speech intelligibility even in highly reverberant or challenging acoustic spaces, the DS380 HD ensures a constant sound pressure level over distances up to 45 meters, with even greater reach possible under less demanding conditions.

Featuring twenty custom-designed 4" loudspeakers, the DS380 HD employs a sixteen-channel Class-D amplifier powered by a sophisticated switch-mode power supply. The drivers are arranged using JBL’s patented algorithm to maximize coverage, minimize reflections, and deliver an even SPL throughout the listening area. Advanced vertical beam shaping via DDS (Digital Directivity Synthesis) allows sound to be aimed precisely at the audience, enhancing intelligibility and overall audio experience.

Control and customization are simple using JBL’s proprietary WinControl software, which provides user-friendly management of beam steering, audio processing, presets, and surveillance functions. The DS380 HD includes built-in DSP with 32-bit floating point processing, dual line inputs, volume control, delay of up to 20 seconds, and extensive monitoring features to meet Voice Alarm and life safety requirements. Its slim, compact profile ensures unobtrusive installation in architecturally sensitive spaces, while low-frequency response can be augmented with JBL subwoofers for full-range applications. Designed for long-term reliability, the DS380 HD is ideal for lecture halls, theatres, transport hubs, museums, atriums, places of worship, and conference facilities.
