KEY FEATURES
• High Power passive portable Line Array element
• Designed for mobile and installed applications
• Fast, easy-to-use integrated suspension system
• Aluminium frame structure
• Black or white finish
INTRODUCTION
The AX12C Line Array is a passive system equipped with twelve 3.5" neodymium transducers with waterproof cones,
designed for portable and permanently installed applications where high power and clarity are needed. The aluminum
frame box structure ensures lightweight and strength, while the shape features a back-loaded transmission line design
with clean mid-bass reproduction and natural cardioid behaviour. A Front Diffraction Waveguide (FDW) delivers wide
horizontal dispersion, making the system flexible and adaptable to many different applications.
The AX12C line array module has been designed to be combined with the SW2100A, a compact and lightweight 21"
and-Pass/Bass-Reflex subwoofer, equipped with a 4000W Class D amplifier with Power Factor Correction and PROEL's
proprietary 96kHz / 40bit floating point CORE DSP. Up to four AX12C modules can be driven by one amplifier channel
of the SW2100A subwoofer. The built-in CORE 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 AX12C line array modules and two SW2100A subwoofers, features 8000W of
total power and a line-array dispersion pattern, making it the perfect solution for high-performance portable sound
reinforcement applications.
Thanks to the elegant mechanical design the AX12C can be easily transported, while the integrated suspension system
makes its deployment very fast and simple. Each unit comes with two aluminum brackets and four pins that allows
multiple array elements to be easily combined either together or with the matching SW2100A subwoofer, or also in
combination with the complete range of mounting hardware available, including flybar and several brackets and stands.

    REAR PANEL INPUT & LINK - Both connectors at the top and the bottom of the AX12C can operate as input or link, to connect an appropriated processed amplifier or to link the column to a second one. The AX12C does not include an internal passive crossover for filtering the signal, but only an internal protection that excludes the internal speaker to protect them from excessive input power.

  • Page 9: Conditions Of Use

    Using the KPTAX12C fly bar it is possible to assemble a suspended and unobtrusive vertical array system with a variable size up to 4 elements of AX12C, or a combination of AX12C, AX6C and AX12LF without exceeding the 120Kg maximum load capacity. The loudspeakers are linked together in a column using the brackets integrated at each end of the enclosure.
