User's Guide
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a NEXT LAm115 stage monitor. This manual will provide you with
useful and important information about your LAm115 stage monitor system.
Please devote some time reading this manual. A better understanding of some specific
features of the Lam115 (like the asymmetric directivity horn configuration) will help you to
operate your system to its full potential.
2. UNPACKING
Each NEXT LAm115 stage monitor is built, in Europe (Portugal) by NEXT-proaudio, to the
highest standard and thoroughly inspected before it leaves the factory. After unpacking the
system, examine it carefully for any signs of transit damage and inform your dealer if any
such damage is found. It is suggested that you retain the original packaging so that the
system can be repacked at a future date if necessary. Please note that Next-proaudio and its
distributors cannot accept any responsibility for damage to any returned product through the
use of non-approved packaging.
3. OVERVIEW
The Lam115 is a Bi-amp/ Full-Range 2-way monitor with a high power 15" (385mm) bass
driver and a 1.4" (35mm) exit compression driver mounted on an asymmetric dispersion
horn. This horn design allows the artist to move freely over a large area without loss of
information.
The asymmetric dispersion horn varies its horizontal dispersion from wide to narrow as a
performer moves back from the monitor. This narrowing dispersion effectively changes the
forward gain of the horn which enables the horn to throw further, increasing the operating
range of the monitor and reducing excess spill.
When operated in Bi-Amp mode, the LAm115 is best used with the NSOUND DP240 Digital
Controller to provide crossover, limiting and EQ functions. When operated in Full-Range
mode the LAm115, may be used without a controller, but benefits from the EQ and limiting
functions of the DP240. This also ensures that both Bi-Amp and Full-Range configurations
will exhibit the same tonal balance when used together on stage.
4. SAFETY FIRST
It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner. Please take some time
to review the following points concerning safe use of the Lam115 monitors.
