2 - SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The PALCOPLUS line array is a system, made up of different components
that must be used together for maximum results:
- RA16 - enclosure
- BUMPER (model B1 or B2)
- RAB1815 - cardioid sub-bass unit
- LM24 - digital controller (with RACon PC software) or, as an alternative,
- PLM6800 'powered controller' 4-channel power amplifier
- LD2.4 - USB interface
- EASE Focus - Aiming Software
2.1 - RA16 - enclosure (figure 5)
Two-way speaker system, equipped with 2 woofers in a dipole
configuration (8" with 2.5" moving coil, neodymium magnet) and an
HF driver with a 3" titanium diaphragm, neodymium magnet, loaded
by a plane wave guide with 1.4" throat.
The cabinet is built from tough 15 mm Finnish birch with a special coating
providing very high resistance to abrasion; it weights just 18 kg, including
the special steel suspension fittings (figure 6).
For each speaker an external power amplifier is specified, with at least
800 W / 8 ohms for the woofers and 200 W / 16 ohms for the driver.
A two channel amplifier (1600 W / 4 ohm per channel) is suitable for
driving two units.
The frequency range is 70 Hz ÷ 20 kHz, the crossover is at 800 Hz,
24 dB/octave.
Each enclosure is supplied with:
- 2 rear steel plates that allow the assembly of the enclosures in the array
and for adjusting the vertical splay angle between units (figure 7 - A).
- 6 highly resistant quick release pins (figure 7 - B) with ball safety lock
(3/8" x 1/2").
Connection to power amplifiers is by a 4-pole
A second socket allows parallel connection of a second speaker (figure 8).
Refer to chapter 5 for wiring details.
