TRANSDUCERS

The SW215A subwoofer system is equipped with two high power 15” (380mm) transducers capable of long excursion (up to 33mm peak-to-peak), controlled by high stiffness Double Silicon Spider as centering suspension and by heavy duty surround.  The motor structure features high strength (BL²/Re) with optimized symmetry and excursion controlled by Aluminum  Demodulating Ring.
The robust copper 75mm (3”) voice coil is wounded in two different layers both outside and inside the coil support, then doubling the coil surface exposed to air cooling and consequently improving the long term thermal capacity of the loudspeaker.
Cones are made of very high-stiffness reinforced paper, featuring also invisible water repellent treatment.

PERFORMANCES

The SW215A represents an innovative subwoofer design that features unprecedented performances in terms of low frequency definition and “punchy” feeling in the upper bass range.
The combination of accuracy in acoustic transient response together with the use of latest technology in transducers linearity, signal processing and power amplifiers allows the SW215A to deliver unprecedented low frequency reproduction quality with solid deep end, together with very fast and accurate bass response.

SIGNAL PROCESSING and POWER AMPLIFIERS

The system processing is based on the CORE DSP platform 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 top-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.
The SW215A 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 SW215A delivers in an ultra-compact package a maximum power of 2000W.

HARDWARE

The SW215A is available in two versions, with (code SW215FA) or without (code SW215A) the flying hardware.
In the SW215FA model the built-in suspension system allows one or more sub-woofers to be flown together with the AX2065 vertical array module. The flying system is extremely simple to use and a complete array can be flown in a flash by just a couple of people.
The SW215A offers a cost effective solution for all applications where flying the sub-woofers in not needed.

Thanks to its massive processing power, the CORE platform is capable of providing the most sophisticated algorithms for speaker processing, together with comprehensive remote control and networking capabilities.
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 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 SW1800A subwoofer is not connected to a network, and allow for rapid and simple setup: Standard, for general purpose use; Infra Sub, as an additional very low frequency band or for sub-bass effects; Cardioid, for use in directional bass arrays; and User, allowing custom parameters to be designed in PRONET and recalled for specific situations when off-line.

POWER AMPLIFIER

The SW1800A is powered by a DA SERIES digital power module, 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 performance at the top of the range, such as superior sound definition at any audio frequency, very high dynamics for low level signals, and very low distortion even at maximum power. The amplifier’s superior sound quality can be compared with top-of-the-range AB-class analog systems, while the DA modules feature higher dynamic range, very compact size, light weight, and efficiency above 90%.
The amplifier delivers 1000 watts into each driver individually. Input and link connections are via balanced 3-pin XLR connectors, and a ground lift switch is provided for hum-free operation.

Offering impressive efficiency from a compact cabinet, the SW36XFA uses a combination of manifold and bandpass loading techniques to achieve an impressive 143 dB peak output. Its dual 18” low frequency drivers feature 4” Tetracoil dual voice coils, which have the equivalent performance to a single 6” voice coil.

The SW36XFA features an integrated 4000 watt class D amplifier module that provides convenience and simplicity of connection for concert touring applications, or will benefit larger fixed installations such as dance clubs, sports halls, stadia, and large conference rooms. It will deliver high sound presure level at bass frequencies, with abundant headroom to deliver the fast transient response that brings live performances and electronic music to life. PROEL’s CORE DSP processing ensures that the SW36XFA is capable of perfect signal integrity, dynamic range in excess of 110 dB, and superior sonic performance.

The amplifier module employed in the SW212A features also PFC (Power Factor Correction), a technology able to guarantee always the highest level of power regardless of any eventual fluctuations of the power supply, and to reduce power consumption (less than 0.9W in standby) while enhancing reliability and consistency in all operating conditions. It delivers in an ultra-compact package 1400W from each of its two channels: one channel is used to drive the two 12” woofers, the other, through an output SPEAKON connector, can power AX16/8CL line array modules or other AXIOM speakers.

The SW212A has been mainly designed to provide the optimal low frequency extension to the AX16/8CL line array modules. The built-in power module can provide 1400W to power up to four AX16CL line array modules connected to the output SPEAKON.
