MAX12
MAX12 is a 2-way floor monitor system and uses a 12/2 coaxial
driver combination with a passive crossover. The driver design
allows the use of a compact, low height cabinet. MAX12 can be
driven actively or passively.
Coaxially mounting the 2 HF and 12 LF drivers creates a very
compact single driver whilst retaining the benefits of separate
magnetic assemblies. The drivers are positioned together to utilise
the combined shape and geometry of the LF cone and HF horn to
create a single waveguide with a controlled, symmetrical, 80°
conical dispersion.
The MAX12 cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has
an impact resistant paint finish. The front of the loudspeaker
cabinet is fitted with a rigid metal grill covered with a replaceable
acoustically transparent foam. A socket to accept a loudspeaker
stand and four M10 threaded inserts complete the possible rigging
options for MAX12. Fitted on the rear panel are two parallel wired
Speakon-NL4 or EP5 connectors.
The MAX12 cabinet does not require special controller electronics.
As a stage monitor MAX12 is preferably operated with the P1200A
mainframe equipped with the ampMAX module. The ampMAX
module can be configured for passive and for 2-way active
operation.
The negligible signal delay with this type of construction closely
approximates the ideal acoustic point source. The result is a
loudspeaker with remarkable vocal presence and clarity, a neutral,
balanced sound, high feedback stability and a high sound pressure
level capability. The free field frequency response covers a 100 Hz
to 18 kHz band - sufficient for speech reinforcement. When used
as a stage monitor the floor coupling extends the frequency
response down to 80 Hz.
MAX12s angled side panels allow a choice of two set up angles
when placed on stage (35° or 67°). Together with a comprehensive
range of rigging hardware, the MAX12 cabinet allows fast and
easy deployment of cabinets either as stage monitors or front-of-
house in a main PA system. Viewed from the top, the angle
between the MAX12 side panels is 45°. MAX12 cabinets can be
deployed side by side to create semi-circular arrays, two cabinets result
in an horizontal dispersion of 120° and three cabinets 170°.
For applications which require deep bass, the LF response can be
extended by using additional active subwoofer systems C7-SUB or
C4-SUB. MAX12 can also be combined with the E15-BX passive
bass extension speaker (not recommended when MAX12 is driven
with an E-PAC).
