Axiom ED80P User Manual

KEY FEATURES
• Near-field and mid-field sound reinforcement applications
• Asymmetric HF coverage pattern
• Rotatable HF Horn for optimal horizontal coverage
• Water-repellent treatment of LF loudspeaker
INTRODUCTION
ED point source systems are designed for indoor and outdoor sound reinforcement applications
ranging from clubs, bars and restaurants to theatres, live music venues, houses of worship and theme
environments. Passive ED series loudspeaker systems are easy to set up and simple to operate.
The ED80P consists of an 8" LF drive unit and a 1" HF compression driver loaded by an asymmetric
HF horn in a compact enclosure, designed for many multi-purpose sound reinforcement activities. The
asymmetric HF coverage pattern, varying from 120° horizontal in the lower part of the horn for more
effective near field coverage, and narrowing to 60° horizontal at the top of the horn for more focused
coverage in the far field. The result is more accurate coverage of a typical auditorium than is possible
with a fixed horizontal coverage device. The HF horn is also rotatable through 90° by simply removing
four screws and realigning the horn, so that coverage can also be optimised for stage monitor use. This
rotatable horn feature also makes it possible to maintain the ideal coverage pattern when the cabinet
is installed in a horizontal (landscape) orientation. Its asymmetric dispersion pattern provides optimal
coverage of typical rectangular venues, with wider dispersion at the front and narrower dispersion at
the rear.
This versatile loudspeaker can also be used as a low profile stage monitor with its 35° tapered side,
and in this situation the HF horn can be rotated to maintain the best coverage pattern for performers
both near to and further away from the monitor. ED80P cabinet is an unobtrusive and compact format
designed for a multitude of near field applications such as theatre under-balcony fill, stage front fill,
delay speaker, bar and restaurant audio, and discreet stage monitor. A pole mount socket make this a very versatile loudspeaker in both portable
and permanently installed applications.
