Line Array Speaker Element

Ultra high power 2 x 12 inch Double Dual Diaphragm Drive Line Array Loudspeaker with extra high headroom for never before reached dynamic transient reproduction in long throw ( 3 ) applications. Designed for arena sound reproduction where maximum throw length at still flexible curving is required.

The unique vertical coverage of 12° is untypical for a line array loudspeaker of this size, but it allows better energy control within the complete array. With this approach you get better mid- and high frequency coupling at low curving angles and smoother energy spread with wider horizontal dispersion at high curving angles. This makes the usage of different speakers in the array obsolete and offers a very unique and dense sound within the array while eliminating any vertical on axis sound gaps.

The leading edge control technology is using the most advance F.I.R. filtering providing long throw and wide dispersion settings with absolute phase control. These filters are made with a development and research experience of more than 20 years, with one of the first developers ever using F.I.R. filtering in such an extended way, influencing not only the phase but also dispersion and room energy spread.

The loss less passive crossover network is a remarkable feature in this power class and makes it very easy to setup the speaker. The loss less principle guarantees that all amplifier power reaches the transducers without any losses, a substantial benefit for environmental sustainability. With one single 4 Pol cable it is possible to run 4 loudspeakers, this offers an error free setup of the system
