INTRODUCTION
AX1012P is a versatile constant curvature full-range element that can be
used to create both vertical and horizontal line source arrays and also as
a high-directivity point-source loudspeaker.
The 1.4" high frequency compression driver is coupled to STW -
Seamless Transition Waveguide, which ensures a precise control of
mid-high frequencies both on horizontal and vertical axis, for a perfect
acoustic coupling between the enclosures that form the array. The
20°
unique waveguide design produces vertical line source directivity with a
horizontal pattern that is maintained down to approximately 950Hz. This allows to project clean music and vocals
evenly around the audience without hot-spots and dead-spots. The sharp SPL off-axis rejection is used to avoid
reflecting surfaces in the enclosure coupling plane and perfectly adjusts the acoustic coverage to the audience
geometry.
The AX1012P tour-grade 15mm phenolic birch plywood cabinet is fitted with four integrated steel rails, to be used for
coupling the cabinets with the KPTAX1012 aluminium coupling bars. A comprehensive set of accessories is available
for creating horizontal or vertical arrays and for ground-stacking the systems.
AX1012P is recommended for the use as indoor FOH (Left – Centre - Right systems) or outdoor FOH in small to
medium-sized events, as per its predisposition as a passive system it is ideal for permanent fixed installations from
small to large venues such as convention centers, sports halls, stadiums and so on.
It can be used also as a complement to large systems as Out-fill, In-fill or distributed fill applications in a wide range of venue, providing clear sound
to areas not fully reached by the main system, while minimizing unwanted interactions and room reflections.
