DML500 Distributed Mode Speaker

• June 2024 — A former employee of Tectonic Audio Labs bought the professional division and has rebranded as FlatPanel Audio!

The DML500 Loudspeaker is a versatile sound reinforcement loudspeaker housed in a unique, slim-line aluminum enclosure that delivers highly intelligible and immersive audio performance, even in the most challenging architectural environments.  Bending wave technology enables the DML500 to generate highly diffuse output with 165° of coverage over a wide, eight-octave bandwidth.  Constructed of a composite carbon fiber/Nomex honeycomb panel, the diaphragm is driven by four high-power neodymium motor structures with 32mm voice coils.  These characteristics provide unparalleled audio performance, particularly when auditioned in a reverberant environment.  The DML500's rugged physical construction features a powder-coated, die-cast, aluminum frame, complete with standard VESA attachment points.  Separate attachment points are added for easy system rigging integration.
