A module designed for modern Line Array configurations
The "Line Array" format has become standard to meet a simple requirement: distribute a homogeneous level over a wide area while limiting unnecessary reflections. This passive module fits this logic thanks to a contained vertical directivity (15 degrees) and generous horizontal dispersion (100 degrees), ideal for creating a coherent cluster, stacked or flown, and adapting the coverage angle to the venue.
For whom and for what uses?
This passive speaker is aimed at sound providers, stage managers, venues, and fixed installations looking for a module capable of going the distance as a main PA or reinforcement. Its rated power of 1000 W RMS and Max SPL of 137 dB make it suitable for concerts, events, places of worship, clubs, or modular stages, especially when one wants to control coverage rather than just "push loud."
Performance, directivity, and integration: what makes the difference
A 2-way system designed for impact and intelligibility
The speaker driver set combines a 14-inch woofer for foundation and energy in the low-midrange, and 2 x 1.4-inch tweeters to provide definition and presence. The crossover at 1.2 kHz aims for a clean transition between registers to preserve vocal intelligibility and clarity of attacks (snare drum, guitars, synths) even at high levels.
Controlled coverage: 100 x 15 degrees to better "place" the sound
The 100 degrees (H) x 15 degrees (V) dispersion facilitates setting up even coverage across the width while limiting energy sent to the ceiling and floor. The result: more controlled sound diffusion, often cleaner in reverberant venues, and better coherence when multiple modules are arrayed.
Simplified Line Array rigging
The module is supplied with an adjustable tilt Line Array bracket, convenient for adjusting the throw angle according to audience distance, rigging height, or number of elements. This aspect is key to optimizing coverage without overloading the overall volume and to maintaining a system easy to deploy during events.
Connectivity and amplification compatibility
With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, the speaker integrates into many professional amplification setups. The 2 Amphenol LTW 4-pole input connectors allow for robust connections suited to stage environments while maintaining a "system" approach typical of Line Array setups.
