When it comes to professional sound installations, one of the biggest challenges for any technician or integrator is to ensure intelligibility in acoustically complex spaces.
Sound familiar?
Spaces with high ceilings, reflective walls, irregular geometries or excessive reverberation. In these environments, even a well-dimensioned public address system can fail if the directionality of the sound is not controlled.
The ROD-100D was born precisely to solve this problem. Its design, technology and features make this PLUS type digital column the perfect choice for projects where vocal clarity, sound control and ease of integration are key.
Here we show you how this equipment adapts to different real-world contexts and what benefits it brings in each one.
1. Churches and places of worship
Problem:
These facilities usually have high ceilings, hard floors and surfaces that generate a lot of reverberation. In addition, the message being conveyed (sermons, readings, masses) requires absolute clarity of speech.
Solution with ROD-100D:
- Adjustable vertical directionality (±45°) allows the sound to be projected right towards the audience, without bouncing off vaults or walls.
- The possibility of creating up to 3 independent beams allows to adapt the sound to pews, side aisles and choirs.
- The configurable focal length (up to 100 m) ensures uniform coverage even in long churches.
Result:
Dramatically improved intelligibility, without the need for multiple loudspeakers or expensive acoustic treatments.
2. Lecture halls and conference rooms
Problem:
These spaces feature multiple audience planes (staggered or amphitheater), and vocal reinforcement is often combined with multimedia content. Clarity of speech is critical.
Solution with ROD-100D:
- DSP processor with 15-band equalizer: fine-tune the sound for each room.
- Webserver accessible via LAN or Wi-Fi: allows the system to be configured from the same technical desk, without the need to install software.
- 100 W RMS (10×10 W) internal amplification: enough power to cover large volumes without adding external stages.
Result:
A single, well-configured piece of equipment neatly covers the entire room, reducing system complexity and ensuring a professional experience for speakers and attendees.
3. Stations, airports and spacious lobbies
Problem:
These are noisy environments, with high ceilings, high people flow and constant ambient reverberation. The intelligibility of public address messages is critical to safety and user experience.
Solution with ROD-100D:
- 100 V input for easy integration into existing voice evacuation systems.
- Robust aluminum and stainless steel construction, ideal for continuous use and demanding environments.
- Low background noise + automatic noise gate: messages are perceived clearly, even when the environment is not helpful.
Result:
The ROD-100D provides a reliable, professional and easily adaptable solution to improve intelligibility without the need to redesign the entire sound system.
4. Cultural centers and multipurpose halls
Problem:
In versatile venues where concerts, lectures, exhibitions or screenings are held, it is common for acoustic conditions to change with each event. Flexibility and total control over the sound projection is required.
Solution with ROD-100D:
- 3 independent beams that you can reconfigure according to the layout of the audience.
- LAN or Wi-Fi connection for quick adjustments between events.
- Possibility of cascading: several columns synchronized without technical complications.
Result:
A flexible, scalable sound system optimized for any room configuration, without compromising audio quality.
5. Integrations in existing public address systems
Problem:
Often, technicians must improve intelligibility in a particular area of a building without altering the entire existing installation.
Solution with ROD-100D:
- 100 V input, compatible with conventional public address systems.
- Balanced output (XLR) for connection to other equipment if necessary.
- Its compact and elegant design allows a discreet integration, without breaking the aesthetics of the space.
Result:
Substantial improvement in sound quality with minimal structural intervention. Perfect for renovations or extensions.
Conclusion: the perfect tool for complex installations
The ROD-100D stands out not only for its advanced technology, but also for its real-world adaptability. Its modular design, flexible connectivity and precise control make it an essential product for any integrator looking for uncomplicated professional results.
