The Achromic Series comprises three full-range loudspeaker options, the 10-inch A10, 12-inch A12, and
15-inch A15. All three models feature a Bi-Amped, high efficiency fan cooled Class A/B switching power
amp for the highs, and a Class D power amp for the low end. Each cabinet was carefully designed with
components specifically chosen to provide high SPL levels while ensuring smooth coverage across all
frequencies in a lightweight package ranging from the A10 at 25 lbs. (11.3 kg) up to the A18S at 73 lbs. (33.1 kg).
Power Ranges from 1000 Watts for the A10 to 1200 Watts for the A12/A15. Designed to work for you,
the full-range speakers feature a 35mm pole socket with two position options – zero or a 7.5-degree
downward tilt for stand mounting but can also be flown via the built-in M10 fly points, wall mounted or
used a main or floor monitor.
To provide enhanced bass response and extended low frequency coverage, the Achromic Series also
includes two active DSP Controlled sub options with configurable output directivity. The cardioid output
option allows you to better focus your low end in a ground stack configuration for tight clean bass. The
A15S offers a 15-inch woofer with a 3-inch voice coil, while the A18S is fitted with an 18-inch woofer with
a 3-inch voice coil. Both feature an integrated powerful Class D amplifier that delivers an impressive 1600-Watts.
Every model in the Achromic Series features an advanced easy to use Digital Signal Processor
accessible via an LCD screen on the rear panel of the speaker. The built-in DSP allows you custom
optimization to configure the speaker specifically for your needs: Music Type /Room/ mounting
option/EQ/ and System configurations.
