Linea Focus. Precision you can hear, hardware you barely see.

An 80 mm aluminium column housing individually amplified drivers, each under its own DSP. The sound field is shaped electronically — so the loudspeaker can be placed where the architecture allows, not where the aiming demands.

Explore the engineering behind the steered column — beam control, on-board DSP, and architectural integration.

Why Fohhn

Six reasons specifiers choose Fohhn.

01
German Engineering

Designed, developed and manufactured in Nürtingen, Germany — every driver, DSP board and enclosure held to a single tolerance standard.

02
Beam Steering Technology

Electronically steered line sources aim sound with degree-level precision — no mechanical tilt, no compromise on architecture.

03
Architectural Integration

Ultra-slim column profiles, custom RAL finishes and flush mounting details that disappear into stone, timber and glass.

04
Natural Speech Intelligibility

Energy lands on the audience, not the ceiling — STI figures that hold up in marble halls and long reverberant spaces.

05
Networked DSP Systems

Fohhn-Net, Dante and AES67 with per-channel processing, presets and remote monitoring across the whole estate.

06
Premium Acoustic Design

Neutral, uncoloured reproduction for speech and music alike — engineered rather than voiced for effect.

Beam steering technology

The same room. Two entirely different acoustic outcomes.

Move the listener, change the room, and watch what happens to intelligibility when the sound field is shaped by DSP instead of by a bracket.

Select the space
Scale

Stage position, seating slope and balcony geometry drive the design. Separate beams normally serve stalls and balcony.

Control system
FOHHN

Fohhn audio control architecture

Every Fohhn loudspeaker is an addressable, DSP-controlled device. Beam angles, levels, filters and presets live on the network — so a system can be re-tuned, re-zoned or extended without touching the ceiling.

Control configurations
Control layerFohhn Audio Soft + Fohhn-Net gateway, third-party control panels
NetworkFohhn-Net + Dante / AES67 backbone
InterfacesDante inputs, paging station, contact closures
Fohhn Audio Soft

Windows configuration and control software: beam design, FIR/IIR filtering, delay, limiter and preset management for every device on the network.

Fohhn-Net

Fohhn's own control bus. One cable carries addressing, beam control and live monitoring for hundreds of devices — independent of the audio transport.

DI Series amplifiers

DSP amplifiers (DI-2.250 / DI-4.1000 / DI-8.1000) with onboard beam steering, matrix routing, EQ and protection per channel.

Dante / AES67

Standards-based audio transport so Fohhn zones sit inside the wider AV, paging and conferencing infrastructure without gateways.

Third-party control

Crestron, Extron and BMS drivers expose sources, levels, presets and mute groups on the panels operators already use.

Monitoring & service

Continuous device supervision with fault logging — CaesarTechs can review system health remotely under an SLA.
