A Modern Approach to 2.1: The Efficiency of Line Array in a Mobile Format
This system follows the logic of 2.1 "subwoofer + heads" configurations used in mobile sound reinforcement: entrusting the low-frequency energy to a dedicated subwoofer while keeping compact satellites for clear vocals and instruments. The choice of line array type satellites aims for a more consistent projection than a traditional full-range speaker, while remaining practical to transport and set up on stage or at events.
What Uses Is This System Ideal For?
Designed for event sound reinforcement, this 2.1 system suits DJs, mobile performances, bars, small to medium venues, conferences, animations, and bands seeking a system capable of delivering solid bass while maintaining good intelligibility. Dedicated controls (separate levels, crossover, phase) allow quick adjustment of the sound according to acoustics, placement, and program (music, vocals, playback).
Control, Playback, and Settings: A System Designed to Adapt
Bass Management and System Balance
The subwoofer offers an adjustable crossover frequency from 80 Hz to 1 kHz, useful for precisely aligning the transition between the sub and satellites. You also have a phase inverter (0deg to 180deg) to optimize low-end impact depending on the position of the subwoofer and satellites. A built-in limiter helps protect the system during sustained use.
Connectivity and Integrated Audio Sources
In addition to analog inputs, the system includes a multimedia player (Micro SD, USB, Bluetooth) and a wireless remote control for remote playback operation. For integration into a setup, you will find RCA inputs and combo XLR / 6.35mm Jack inputs, as well as RCA, XLR, and Speakon outputs to manage signal distribution and power the satellites.
Simplified Installation with Included Accessories
The supplied accessories (Speakon cables, mounting systems, and stands) enable quick setup, whether in a classic front-facing configuration or more structured dispersion thanks to the satellite elements. The subwoofer enclosure in 18 mm MDF and the satellites in ABS, both finished with black acrylic paint, offer a good balance between durability and mobility.
