Six-channel Hemisphere

Multi-directional, Multi-channel Loudspeaker
6-channel hemi

The 6-channel loudspeaker is a modified version of our "original" Hemipshere, where each of the drivers can be given a seperate signal to create a multi-directional effect in circumstances where that is desired.

The changes to the design included rewiring the internal electronics of the speaker, and re-thinking the way audio signals could be fed into the cabinet.  Working with Dan Trueman and Scott Smallwood at Princeton University, and the amazing cable builders at HAVE Inc., we have developed a jack and breakout cable design that condenses all of the cable runs into a single cable and connector.

One durable 6-foot breakout cable is included with each 6-channel Hemisphere.  It features six 1/4" TS plugs at one end, for easy connection to six channels of amplification, or easy adaptation to other standard plug types.  The other end terminates in a single, locking 12-conductor plug, making a simple and secure connection to the speaker cabinet.

It's all about having options! We now offer a 6-channel-to-mono adapter cable, to allow your 6-channel Hemisphere to function like a monaural Hemisphere. Get the most flexibility out of your speaker by picking up one of these with your order.
