Arktura is proud to present updates to our award-winning SoundBar® and SoftSpan® product lines that raise the bar of creative acoustic solutions. This revamp adds new attachment options to both lines and allows the two systems together with unprecedented compatibility, to unlock near limitless possibilities. The revision makes it easy to combine linear and square grid designs to bring forth brand new configurations that can be customized to any clients specific needs. This connectivity update brings a new level of design possibilities as creatively endless as an architect’s or designer’s imagination allows, working in conjunction to create new and unique layouts. Not only can the grid system of SoftSpan® connect seamlessly to the linear acoustic SoundBar®, but these new configurations can also be further upgraded with new lighting options, creating even more design possibilities.
