FX 12
2-WAY HI-POWER TOP
The FX 12 is a fully horn-loaded
and coaxial two-way, high-power
top covering a bandwidth of 100 Hz
to 19 kHz with a maximum sound
pressure level of 134 dB / 1m.
The frequency range from 1 kHz
upwards is transduced by a neody-
mium ND 6-8 driver with a 3“ voice
coil and a CDH 8040-14 Constant-Q
horn, whilst the midrange from
100 Hz to 1 kHz is the responsibi-
lity of a neodymium ND 12A driver
with a large-format conical horn.
Extremely low distortion and mini-
mal comb-filter effects whether
stacked or flown are among the
decisive advantages of conical
horns. The fully electronic Voice
Coil Tracking Protection circuitry
supervises the operating states of
the individual loudspeakers on a
permanent basis, intervening only
in the case of overload by gently
reducing the power to the speakers
(‚soft-switching‘) until a safe level
is reached. The result is the widest
possible dynamic range combined
with the highest level of operating
security.
The cabinet is made from multiply
poplar plywood covered by heavy-
duty needle-felt carpeting. The
front is securely protected by a
powder-coated metal grille backed
by acoustic foam. Handles at the
side and four large casters on the
rear facilitate handling.
Integrated flying tracks and rigging
strap attachment points are stan-
dard features. The use of four-pole
Speakon cables with system pin
assignments eliminates the risk
of accidental wiring errors when
connecting the Xa 4000 system power
amplifier or looping the signal
through to an FX 20 subwoofer.
