The AeroWave™ system is now available as the AW9090 (90×90) and AW9045 (90×45) degree system.

At a Glance:

  • AeroWave is the first of its kind, ever, to offer true, pristine, interference-free, high-fidelity stereo sound for large audiences.
  • AeroWave™ is the world’s first-ever high-efficiency, fully-horn- loaded, high-powered, single-source, high-fidelity, large-venue sound source with engineered and fully-dependable acoustic directivity in both vertical and horizontal directions. Constant- directivity is achieved for virtually the entire bandwidth of use. The human race has never before had such a capable means of amplifying the sonic arts.
  • AeroWave™ technology is a truly malleable sound system concept, allowing full system scaling in terms of max spl and directivity- control. This is accomplished by proprietary means of coherently combining the outputs of multiple drivers so they truly act like a single point source.
  • Elegant simplicity of operation: Every driver in an AeroWave™ system receives the same amount of electrical power in its range of use. Only a master DSP is used for system balancing, calibration and voicing. In contrast, byzantine signal-processing systems of per-box and even per-device processing (level, eq, delay, etc) are needed to “correct” unavoidable device-to-device interference effects for pretty much for all modern line arrays. AeroWave’s overall simplicity contributes to its pristine sound quality and ease of operation.
  • AeroWave™ systems can be designed to cover an entire audience seating area from multiple locations. Thus true full-audience stereo and stereo-with-center-image (LCR) can be finally achieved, for the first time ever.

Ocean Way Sound for Live Performance Venues

Ocean Way Audio is a leader in creating elite sound systems for the finest recording studios. Now it has invented and developed a world’s-first technology for creating the same elite listening experience for large audiences. Recently installed at the Granada Theater in Santa Barbara, industry experts gushed over witnessing AeroWave’s sonic beauty (“a breakthrough” and “impossible”) and a modern reviewer suggested its graceful arced lines was ready for the Museum of Modern Art. The system is clearly set apart from everything else used today, both sonically and visually.

For Ocean Way founder and owner (and multi-Grammy-awarded) Allen Sides, AeroWave™ is a dream realized. Long disappointed in mixing live shows for selected artists, he now has a sound system to work with that is so much like that of a great recording studio, especially in being able to present stereo to an entire audience area. To date, this has never been accomplished.

AeroWave™ is available exclusively from American Music & Sound.
