Celestion is showcasing its new PXT6000 rectangular exit compression driver and new LensGuide technology at InfoComm 2026.

The company said that the PXT6000 introduces Celestion’s Planar eXit Technology (PXT), a new approach to high-frequency wave shaping developed using mathematical modeling. The design aims to deliver coherent, single-parameter rectangular pressure while enabling an output with smooth frequency response and directivity control.

Celestion said that the PXT6000 aims to provide a more natural sound by enhancing the driver/waveshaper interface. It features a wavefront that serves to avoid power loss and vertical interference and deliver greater output efficiency and improved intelligibility. It also features an optimized internal flare rate in an effort to improve driver loading and provide a superior low-frequency response.

“With the PXT6000, we have eliminated the historical trade-offs designers face when dealing with acoustic limitations,” said Paul Cork, Celestion head of engineering. “By completely re-shaping the fundamental anatomy of a conventional waveshaper, our patented Planar eXit Technology achieves a highly coherent, single-parameter wavefront. This allows us to deliver both an exceptionally smooth frequency response and excellent directivity control, without compromise.”

Celestion said that the main feature of its exhibit will be a demonstration of its new LensGuide technology, designed to cover 180 degrees. The company said that the technology operates by addressing the flaws in conventional waveguide and high-frequency horn designs. Users can tailor dispersion and directivity to their application while maintaining frequency response.

LensGuide employs a mathematical design methodology which aims to produce internal corrugations that increase individual acoustic path lengths. This serves to allow sound waves to be manipulated without compromising the properties of the single parameter wavefront.

“The application of sculpted corrugations and the advanced methods used to calculate them are what set LensGuide apart from traditional designs,” said Cork. “By accurately controlling the acoustic path length, we can manipulate the sound waves without damaging the desirable properties of the single parameter wavefront. This provides system designers the unprecedented ability to tailor dispersion and directivity to their exact application, delivering an exceptionally coherent output that is smooth and consistent”.

Both technologies will be on display at InfoComm 2026 in the North Hall, Booth N6476.
