KEY FEATURES
• Compact lightweight moulded enclosure
• WTW driver configuration
• Dual 8" woofers, 1.4" HF compression driver
• High quality, low distortion, compression driver design
• Acoustic filter control for stable 100° horizontal coverage • Class D amplifier module with SMPS
• Linear phase, constant power crossover design
INTRODUCTION
The AX800A has been developed with total optimization of the speaker components in mind – from the lightweight woofer cone materials through
to the titanium diaphragm used in the high frequency compression driver. They've been developed in close cooperation with our supply partners,
The AX800A is processed by 40bit, 96kHz floating point CORE DSP and powered by DA
SERIES class D amplifier modules, with audio quality that is comparable to some of the
best analogue Class A-B designs. The output power is optimized specifically to the drive
units, sharing 900 watts between both woofers and delivering 300 watts to the high
frequency band.

AX800A
active vertical array loudspeaker
who act in many ways as an extension of our R&D acoustics team.
Housing two eight-inch low frequency drivers, which are transmission line back-loaded for a significant reduction
in low range frequencies at the rear of the speaker, the AX800A delivers natural cardioid behaviour and therefore
clean mid-bass reproduction. This is especially important in preventing the "boxy" mid-bass sound commonly
obtained from regular bass-reflex enclosures, or the build up of excessive low-mid frequencies behind an array and
on stage that can be annoying for performers.
Completing the driver complement is a 1.4-inch titanium
diaphragm compression driver loaded by an acoustic
transmission line waveguide providing natural sounding
high frequencies. The components are arranged in a very
compact WTW driver configuration, which lends itself
to correct line array behaviour, providing wide and even
horizontal coverage of any venue or audience space.

Usually the boxes are arranged to make an arc for the best coverage of the audience, so the center of gravity moves backward.
- Page 10 • Always secure ground stacked setups against movement and possible tipping over. • A maximum of 4 x AX800A cabinets with the KPTAX800L Fly bar serving as ground support are allowed to be set up as ground stack. In the stack configuration you have to use the three optional BOARDACF01 feet and the fly bar must be mounted upside down on the ground.
