Axiom AX2010A User Manual

KEY FEATURES
• High output line array element
• Compact size, very good output-to-weight ratio
• High quality, low compression, low distortion HF driver
• Very stable horizontal coverage
INTRODUCTION
The AX2010A Vertical Line Array element is designed for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications where a flexible and easy to use vertical
array systems is needed. The AX2010A has been designed both for rental live sound applications and for fixed installations and has been engineered
for the simplest use possible but without sacrificing anything in sound
quality and performance.
The high frequency range is reproduced by two low-distortion
compression drivers, equipped with very light-weight diaphragms. Two
transmission line waveforming waveguides have been used to load
the HF drivers, in order to provide a detailed and natural sound and to
achieve a long-distance HF projecting capacity.
The two 10" woofers employed in the reproduction of the mid-bass
range are equipped with very light-weight cones. The lightness of the
diaphragm is furthermore improved by the use of aluminium voice
coil instead of conventional copper. This ensure a fast reproduction of
the mid range and of mid-bass musical passages, improving also the thermal capacity of the voice
coil and, consequently, controlling the overall power compression. The two 10" woofers are back
loaded by a short hybrid transmission line that minimizes the effect of the box resonances and eliminates the "boxy" mid-bass sound commonly
obtained from regular bassreflex enclosures. The crossover filter approach is based on a "Constant Power" technique. Thanks to a particular phase
combination between the two ways around the crossover frequency, this approach is able to provide a very stable horizontal coverage and a very
stable off-axys sound image, also minimizing unwanted effects around the crossover frequency. The further application of phase linearization
techniques, combined to constant power crossover, yield a linear phase response and a coherent time response. This allows for a natural perception
of acoustic instruments and voices and for an improved depth of the sound image.
