TRANSDUCERS
The high frequency range is reproduced by two low-distortion compression drivers, equipped with very light-weight diaphragms. Two transmission line wave-forming waveguides have been used to load the HF drivers, in order to provide a detailed and natural sound and to achieve a long-distance HF projecting capacity. The two 10” woofers employed in the reproduction of the mid-bass range are equipped with very light-weight cones. The lightness of the diaphragm is furthermore improved by the use of aluminum voice coil instead of conventional copper. This ensure a fast reproduction of the mid range and of mid-bass musical passages, improving also the thermal capacity of the voice coil and, consequently, controlling the overall power compression. The two 10” woofers are back loaded by a short hybrid transmission line that minimizes the effect of the box resonances and eliminates the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly obtained from regular bass-reflex enclosures.

SYSTEM CONCEPT AND SONIC PERFORMANCES
The AX2010P offers a simple but innovative design in line array elements. The simple concept of the WTW symmetrical design is implemented in an effective way in order to minimize the effects of potential beaming phenomena around the crossover frequency. In order to minimize these effects, many different details have been carefully engineered, the first of them being the choice of the HF driver units. The special light-weight diaphragm used in these drivers features a very low mechanical resonance, thus allowing a relatively low crossover frequency point that is placed in the 900Hz range. Moreover, the orientation of the two woofers allows to minimize the interference effect between them, while the use of a mechanical-acoustic polyurethane filter represents a further help in minimizing the midrange beaming. The crossover filter approach is based on a “Constant Power” technique. Thanks to a particular phase combination between the two ways around the crossover frequency, this approach is able to provide a very stable horizontal coverage and a very stable off-axys sound image, also minimizing unwanted effects around the crossover frequency. The further application of phase linearization techniques, combined to constant power crossover, yield a linear phase response and a coherent time response. This allows for a natural perception of acoustic instruments and voices and for an improved depth of the sound image.

SIGNAL PROCESSING
The system processing is based on the CORE DSP platform, which has been designed by the PROEL R&D Laboratories using one of the most advanced SHARC DSP for audio application. It features 40bit, 96kHz floating point resolution and high quality 24bit AD/DA converters, for a perfect signal integrity, a dynamic range in excess of 110dB and a superior sonic performance. Thanks to its massive processing power, the CORE platform is capable of providing the most sophisticated algorithms for speaker processing, together with remote control and networking capability. The PRONET control software, working on a solid and reliable CANBUS based network protocol, provides an intuitive interface for the remote control of the whole system, with the possibility of eqing, delaying, increasing the protections and monitoring the status of the amplifier.

POWER AMPLIFIERS
The AX2010A is powered by DA SERIES digital power modules, a new generation of CLASS D power amplifier with digitally-controlled SMPS. The innovative technology used for these amplifiers (including also the use of a variable switching frequency) offers performances at the top of the range, such as a superior sound definition at any audio frequency, very high dynamics also for low level signals and very low distortion even at the maximum power The superior sound quality can be compared with top-of-the-range AB-class analog systems, while the DA modules feature a higher dynamics, very compact size and light weight and efficiency above 90%. The DA module employed for powering the AX2010A deliver in an ultra-compact package a maximum power of 2000W.

The DA module employed for powering the AX2065A delivers in an ultra-compact package a maximum power of 2000W. Moreover, each AX2065A is able to power an additional passive AX2065P module through the available power output on the back panel. This feature will allow to assemble very competitive system solutions both for rental and installation applications.

HARDWARE
The AX2065A includes as an integral part of the cabinet a built-in FLYING HARDWARE that provides an easy and fast installation together with an excellent load- bearing capacity.

The AX4CL line array module has been designed to be used as a stand-alone or multiple-column system in fixed or mobile installations, front-fill applications and low-profile stage monitoring solutions. It can also be combined with AX16CL columns in multiple-column systems in different configurations.

Thanks to its elegant mechanical design the AX4CL can be easily transported, while the integrated suspension system makes its deployment very fast and simple. Each unit comes with two aluminum brackets and two pins that allows multiple array elements to be easily combined either together, with inter-cabinet angles of 0°, 2° and 4°.

The AX800A NEO is a compact lightweight powered line array element that combines superior sound quality with flexibility and ease of use in an organically styled moulded enclosure. It is designed for a wide range of general purpose indoor and outdoor live sound applications and many types of fixed installations. To fully extend low frequency response the AX800A NEO is designed to be used with the complementary SW1800A subwoofer, a compact dual 18” hybrid manifolded bandpass design, in a recommended 4:1 ratio.

TRANSDUCERS

The high frequency range of the AX800A NEO is reproduced by a low distortion titanium diaphragm compression driver with neodymium magnet and edgewound voice coil, loaded by an acoustic transmission line waveguide providing detailed and natural sounding high frequencies. The exceptionally lighweight high frequency diaphragm benefits from a very low mechanical resonance that is outside of the pass band, and therefore permits the implementation of a relatively low crossover point of 900Hz.

The two 8” neodymium woofers employed in the reproduction of the mid-bass range are equipped with very lightweight cones to ensure fast response at bass and mid-bass frequencies. They are loaded by a new aerodynamic transmission line design that results in clean mid-bass reproduction, natural cardioid behavior, and contributes towards vented cooling of the amplifier stage. The transmission line loading minimizes enclosure resonances and eliminates the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly obtained from regular bass-reflex enclosures.

SYSTEM CONCEPT AND SONIC PERFORMANCE

The AX800A NEO offers a simple but innovative approach to the design of line array elements. The simple concept of the WTW symmetrical drive unit configuration is effectively implemented in order to minimize the effects of potential beaming phenomena arising from the woofers around the crossover frequency.

The orientation and precise separation of the woofers also minimizes interference effects between them, while the use of a mechanical-acoustic polyurethane filter further reduces midrange beaming.

The crossover filter approach is based on a “Constant Power” technique. Thanks to a particular phase combination between the two ways around the crossover frequency, this approach is able to provide a very stable horizontal coverage and a very stable off-axis sound image, also minimizing unwanted effects around the crossover frequency. The further application of phase linearization techniques, combined to constant power crossover, yield a linear phase response and a coherent time response. This allows for a natural perception of acoustic instruments and voices, and for improved depth of the sound image.

CONSTRUCTION

The two-part AX800A NEO enclosure is manufactured from structurally rigid polypropylene, internally ribbed to entirely eliminate cabinet resonances, and providing the precise transmission line back loading to the two 8” woofers without the need for additional internal panels. This construction results in a very strong, lightweight, and sonically neutral cabinet and allows the rigging hardware to be fully integrated, making it easy to transport and use, as well as offering the benefits of good protection against harsh environmental conditions. The positioning of the amplifier module between the outlets of the two rear ducts provides an additional level of cooling.

POWER AMPLIFIER

The AX800A NEO is powered by an extremely compact and lightweight CLASS D power amplifier with SMPS and PFC. The innovative technology used for these amplifiers offers top-of-the-range performances, such as a superior sound definition at any audio frequency, very high dynamics even for low level signals, and very low distortion even at maximum power.

The last generation compact PFC power supply with automatic mains voltage selector for world wide operation guarantees reliability and consistency in all operating conditions, with a a very high efficiency and low power consumption.

Output power is optimised specifically to the drive units for efficient power transfer, with the low frequency section producing 800 watts while 400 watts is available for the high frequency compression driver. Input and link connections are via balanced 3-pin XLR connectors, and a ground lift switch is provided for hum-free operation. Mains power is connected through a locking Neutrik PowerCON, and a Power Out connector allows mains power to be linked to additional AX800A NEO cabinets.

SIGNAL PROCESSING

The system processing is based on the new CORE2 DSP platform designed by the PROEL R&D Laboratories using one of the most advanced SHARC DSP devices available for audio applications. It features 40bit, floating point resolution and top-quality 24-bit AD/DA converters for perfect signal integrity, dynamic range in excess of 110dB, and superior sonic performance. Thanks to its massive processing power, the CORE platform is capable of providing the most sophisticated algorithms for speaker processing, including linear phase FIR filters, together with comprehensive remote control and networking capabilities.

The PRONET AX control software, working on a solid and reliable CANBUS based network protocol, provides an intuitive interface for the remote control of the whole audio system via the rear panel etherCON RJ45 connectors, with the possibility to equalise and delay individual devices, as well as setting driver protection parameters, and monitoring the status of the amplifier.

Four factory DSP presets are provided for when the AX800A NEO cabinets are not connected to a network, and allow for rapid and simple setup: Standard, for general purpose use of arrays up to four cabinets; Long Throw, for longer arrays requiring additional projection over distance; Downfill / Single Box, for near field applications such as stage lip fills and underneath larger line arrays as downfills; and User, allowing custom parameters to be designed in PRONET and recalled for specific situations when off-line.

RIGGING HARDWARE

The AX800A NEO provides built-in flying hardware as an integral part of the cabinet, offering fast and intuitive rigging from a single flypoint in mobile or fixed applications, together with excellent load-bearing capacity. It consists of a front suspension system constructed from two aluminium fast link structures, which are connected at the top to the KPTAX800 or KPTAX800L flybars with quick release rigging pins, and at the bottom to the next cabinet with quick release rigging pins. The KPTAX800 and KPTAX800L flybars can support respectively a column of up to 4 or 12 cabinets using a single pickup point. Inter-cabinet angles are set by means of the rear cabinet links in increments of 0.5° from 0° to 7.5°. Using the KPAX8 pole adapter up to 2 cabinets can be installed on a speaker pole.

The AX16CL line array module has been designed to be combined with the SW212A, a compact and lightweight 2×12” Band-Pass/Bass-Reflex subwoofer, equipped with a 2800W Class D amplifier with Power Factor Correction and PROEL’s proprietary 40bit floating point CORE2 DSP. Up to four AX16CL modules can be driven by one amplifier channel of the SW212A subwoofer. The built-in CORE2 DSP, which can be also remotely controlled using PRONET AX software, provides 4 presets for different combinations: 2, 4 or 1 columns plus 1 user preset.

The standard system, composed of four AX16CL line array modules and two SW212A subwoofers, features 5600W of total power and a line-array dispersion pattern, making it the perfect solution for high-performance portable sound reinforcement applications.

Thanks to its elegant mechanical design the AX16CL can be easily transported, while the integrated suspension system makes its deployment very fast and simple. Each unit comes with two aluminum brackets and two pins that allows multiple array elements to be easily combined either together or with the matching SW212A subwoofer. The brackets allow inter-cabinet angles of 0°, 2° and 4°.
