Professional enjoys global success with
The new LX and LX-E Series of loudspeakers each consist of nine models in total,
a range of great value, great sounding,
comprising five full ranges (with FOH and monitor systems in both 12 inch and 15

approach, a range of models that can be used together to provide solutions for
nearly every audio challenge.

GREAT POWER AND MORE CHOICES.
Elliptical Wave Guide Horn (1.4" Exit)
In comparison to a conventional rectangular horn, the elliptical
Wave Guide offers superior control over HF coverage,
with reduced distor tion, greater output and smoother
frequency response. The elliptical shape means that
there are no corners or parallel surfaces to distor t,
diffract or reflect the sound – therefore the output is
smoother, cleaner and more consistent. Again, due to
the elliptical shape, mid to high frequencies are
diffused more efficiently.
Titanium 50mm Diaphragm, 1.4" Exit Compression Driver
The elliptical Wave Guide horn is coupled with a
50mm (2") tr ue compression dr iver designed
specially for the LX and LX-E Series. This titanium
diaphragm driver features a 1200g-magnet with a
3 5 m m ( 1 . 4 " ) e x i t f o r b r i l l i a n t , n a t u r a l H F
reproduction.
ProTech™ Driver Overload Protection System
Understanding that sound systems are often asked to perform beyond their original design
parameters, we have designed a smooth, progressive dynamic limiter/protection system that
is carefully tailored to each model. Overloads are limited and drivers are protected against
long term transient or peak conditions. The ProTech™ system progressively converts excess
power to heat and triggers a reduction in power to the HF driver. When the overload
condition is removed the system returns seamlessly to normal operation.
Sophisticated Crossovers Design
Each crossover in the LX and LX-E Series is built using the highest quality components
and designed specifically for that system, enabling smooth power and frequency
response control through the crossover region. The LX-15B and LX-18B feature integral
two-way networks that allow a four-box system to be powered by one amplifier.
Trapezoidal, Plywood and Composite Construction
The LX-E's cabinet is constructed from plywood on all critical surfaces (where durability
is important) and wood composite where resonances need to be kept to a minimum.
The trapezoidal shape further improves sonic accuracy by significantly reducing internal
flutter echoes and standing wave resonances that are often apparent in rectangular
shape cabinets.
Mounting points:
For maximum flexibility when installing, we have designed two specific models which
feature 12 x M10 rigging points allowing the cabinets to be flown or arrayed. The
LX-12E and LX-15E are fitted with these flying inserts.
Protective Finish
The LX is all finished using a tough, black industrial carpet offering exceptional
protection and durability for life on the road. The LX-E is coated with Duraguard™, an
abrasion resistant paint that creates a protective 'skin' around the cabinet. Both finishes

contribute to the overall safety in the set up and use.

Strong Grille, Square Handles and Castors
In order to provide maximum protection to the internal components of the
loudspeakers, the front grilles are full steel and 1.5mm thick. The square handles allow
the cabinets to be gripped securely and comfortably, therefore making them easy to
move. Built-in castors are available on some larger units for ease of transportation.
