This system is designed for use in permanent installations as well as in mobile systems. The new system comprises three models, two line arrays elements, with different coverage angles (8ºx90º and 15ºx120º) and a companion subwoofer system allowing a great configuration versatility.
The band-pass subwoofer LAs118A is equipped with a custom made B&C, long excursion, 18" neodymium woofer and is internally powered by a 2200Wrms DPAmplifier module.As it shares the same rigging technology with the LA122A and LA122WA, a flexible integration, both on the ground or on the top of the LA122A arrays, is possible. The LAs118A is equipped with a top-mounted pole socket that, when in ground stacked applications, can be used to mount satellite speakers equipped with standard 35mm pole sockets.
The integrated DSP with A/D-D/A low noise converters, provides 8 selectable Presets (6 factory defined and 2 User defined) that can be accessed by an easy selector, located on the front module panel or real time edited by a PC, using the supplied Soundware software, via USB remote control. This permits to easily customize the sound program, for various applications or different venues.An intelligent automatic standby mode is activated when the amplifier detects no input signal, saving energy and extending the expected work life
With the Soundware software is possible to edit the 6 pre-loaded Presets and store them in any of the 2 free memories. Editable parameters are: input equalization, input delay, input High-pass/Low-pass filters and the 'Bass Enhancer' function. A total of 255 units can be controlled simultaneously by the software.
