JBL Intellivox - Now with Dante

JBL Professional Introduces Updated Intellivox Active Digital Beam Shaping Column Loudspeakers

Dante® Networked Audio Support Expands Design Versatility of JBL’s Premium Range of Beam Shaping Loudspeakers

JBL Intellivox Active Digital Beam Shaping Columns deliver unmatched audio coverage control, ensuring exceptional intelligibility in virtually any environment. These arrays combine multiple high-quality drivers with advanced digital signal processing and integrated multi-channel amplifiers to enable precise digital beam shaping. 

At the heart of Intellivox is JBL’s Digital Directivity Synthesis (DDS) Beam Shaping technology, which allows users to define exactly where sound should be projected—and where it should not. By tailoring coverage areas and minimising reflections, DDS maximises the direct-to-reverberant ratio, resulting in clear, intelligible sound even in the most challenging acoustic spaces. 

The slim, unobtrusive design makes these column loudspeaker arrays ideal for installations where architectural preservation is critical. Enclosures require no mechanical aiming, are available in custom colours, and can even be recessed to blend seamlessly into buildings of all ages and styles. 

For integration flexibility, Intellivox supports Dante® and analog audio inputs alongside IP control connectivity. Built-in redundancy and status monitoring ensure reliable, worry-free operation in mission-critical applications. 

Each system includes an electronics module that provides network connectivity for control via free WinControl software, enabling easy setup and monitoring of Intellivox installations. For system designers, the DDA (Digital Directivity Analysis) software tool offers advanced simulation and optimisation of directional behaviour, as well as modeling of other loudspeakers within the system.

Intellivox Active Digital Beam Shaping Columns are the ideal solution for sound reinforcement and public address in large or reverberant spaces such as transport hubs, houses of worship, parliaments, theatres, atriums, and museums. With digitally-shaped coverage and a discreet form factor, they ensure powerful, intelligible sound without compromising the aesthetics of the space.

Intellivox Active Digital Beam Shaping Columns deliver pristine intelligibility and discreet design for today’s most demanding spaces

From transport hubs, houses of worship, and parliaments to theaters, atriums, and museums, all models ensure powerful, controlled coverage without compromising architectural aesthetics for installations of every scale.
