SPECIFICATIONS AS490e

DESCRIPTION

A 2-way mid/high system in a trapezoidal enclosure. Includes a horn-loaded 10-in MF cone with Radial Phase Plug™ and a 1.4-in exit/2.5-in voice coil HF neodymium compression driv- er on a 90° x 45° constant directivity horn. Powering mode is selectable: bi-amplified or passive MF/HF crossover.

APPLICATION

The AS490e is engineered for use in permanent installations. It provides the mid/high performance capabilities of the 90°(h) ASe Series systems in a separate mid/high module. It can be used as a stand-alone system for speech-only applica- tions or, together with an AS415e, AS422e or AS625e LF mod- ule, provide full range performance in a flexible, modular, multi-enclosure format. Includes comprehensive 3/8"-16 threaded mounting/suspension points. Six year warranty.
