The Greater Divine is the evolution of the iconic and award winning
Divine intelligent loudspeaker. It has all the same functionality that
made the Divine so popular, then builds on it to attract new fans in the
studio monitor world, where the accuracy of audio reproduction becomes
more important, and an abundance of usuable volume level is required.
The Cabinet
An all new larger enclosure. The
Greater Divine is about twice the size of its predeccsor, but the good
news - it's still a solid aluminium casting. This gives us a sold,
stable, non resonating platform to work from for acoustic design. And as
we designed the casting, it is of course beautifully curved.
As we expect the Greater Divine will also be used by front of house
engineers and outside broadcast, it is designed for a tough life of
regulalry being moved. The solid aluminium will give you the confidence
that being moved and receiving the odd knock will not be a problem.
For mounting there is 100MM VESA mounts on the rear.
Porting
Internally, the Greater Divine has a
stunning and elegant bass reflex port. Many months of tuning and
sampling with 3D printed models, has fine tuned the available space
internally to produce a snappy extended bass response.
More Network Power
There is now a PoE+ power
design, with class D amplifiers. When the Greater Divine is presented
with PoE+ from the switch, the amplifier will have 23W RMS. This gives a
significant injention of power on tap from a network speaker.
Even More Local Power
We
have added a 24VDC power input via a 4 pin XLR, so if PoE is not
available the Greater Divine can still be powered. When there is a
local power connection the Greater Divine can realise its full power
potential with an output now of 28w.
Analogue Inputs + Network Inputs
There are still 4
network audio sources available, but we have added two XLRs on the rear
for analogue inputs (also routed to Dante). We therefore have local
power and local analogue inputs so the Greater Divine can also act as a
traditional active monitor speaker.
Bi-Amplified Twin Drivers
The Greater Divine is a 2 way speaker. There is a separate amplifier for each driver and a digital crossover.
Plus All Of The Great Original Functionality Of The Divine
Internally a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) takes careful care of the
audio signals, including state of the art compression and limiting
circuits, while a microprocessor provides full setup and control via our
Windows application GlenController including the ability to group
multiple Greater Divines together and control their level
simultaneously.
The Greater Divine can receive up to four* Dante (AES67 compliant)
audio over IP (AoIP) inputs. These inputs can be selected by the user on
a large clear front panel select switch. The four audio inputs can also
be easily mixed together and their individual levels adjusted.
A priority system is provided to allow one (or more) of the inputs to
automatically duck another. This can be very useful if you want to
monitor one source but also listen to another when audio is present,
such as sending show relay to dressing rooms in a theatre but having the
stage manager's call and building fire alarm take precedence when
they’re active.
Standard microphone stand threads are also provided in the base for
an alternative support solution. (5/8" 27TPI & 3/8" 16TPI)
Different preset EQs and an LF cut can all be set in the user menu to allow the Divine to be used for a variety of applications.
The Greater Divine is so much more than just another powered loudspeaker.
* From a maximum of 2 network locations.
