Specifications

An integrated speaker system is able to use current sensors as well as volt-
age sensors (VIProtect) to provide information to the processor’s protec-
tion circuits.The result is more accurate control of the drivers’ mechanical
and thermal limits, and therefore better protection under abusive conditions.
The amplifier output cables are kept to very short lengths, thereby reduc-
ing cable losses to nearly zero.
These engineering advancements result in the following benefits:
All aspects of the loudspeaker system’s performance are maximized. Sonic
quality, power output capability, flatness of response, distortion, and behavior
under abusive conditions meet remarkably high standards.
• Reliability is increased because the internal amplifiers deliver appropriate
power levels to the drivers, without danger of over-powering or under-pow-
ering.
• Setup is quick and easy - all key circuitry is self-contained and factory-inter-
connected.There is no longer a need for the time-consuming mounting and
wiring of processors and amplifiers in outboard rack enclosures.
• Powered speakers save valuable truck and stage space previously allocated
for amplifier racks. Load-ins and load-outs are quicker and easier than with
conventional systems.
• Powered speakers weigh less than equivalent non-powered speakers and
amp racks, resulting in easier handling and reduced shipping costs.
• Powered speakers cost less and offer higher value than the equivalent non-
powered speaker, processor, amplifier, and rack combination.
