ACONE

AUDIO CONTROLLER

Beschreibung

Höchste Anforderungen an Schalldruck, Reichweite und Soundqualität lassen sich in Audioanlagen nur mit aktiven Mehrweglautsprechersy- stemen realisieren bei denen die unterschiedlichen Frequenzbereiche des Audiosignals jeweils getrennt verstärkt und wiedergegeben wer- den. Das vergleichsweise beste Preis-Leistungsverhältnis bieten Aktiv 2-Weganlagen mit Subwoofern. Der Bassanteil des Audiosignals wird über die Subwoofer wiedergegeben, der Mittel-Hochtonanteil und die Vocals über hochwertige Fullrangeboxen.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil von Aktiv 2-Weganlagen mit Subwoofern liegt unter anderem darin begründet, daß die Vocals nicht auf verschiedene Lautsprechersysteme aufgeteilt sind. Dadurch ist eine problemlose Justierung des Soundsystems möglich. Komplizierte Einmessarbeiten sind - im Gegensatz zu aktiven 3-Weg oder 4-Wegsystemen- nicht notwendig.

Auf kleinen Bühnen oder in kleineren Räumen kann mit einem Mono- Subwoofer gearbeitet werden weil die Bässe unter derartigen Bedin- gungen kaum geortet werden können. Auf größeren Bühnen sind getrennte Subwoofer für beide Seiten unerläßlich, weil sonst zu große Lautstärkeunterschiede zwischen den Bässen und Höhen auf der Bühne und an verschiedenen Zuhörerplätzen auftreten können. Ein zentral angeordneter Mono-Subwoofer kann natürlich vorteilhaft als Ergänzung eingesetzt werden.

Der ACONE Controller wurde zum Aufbau höchstwertiger Aktiv-2-Weg- systeme mit Subwoofern entwickelt. Als Leistungsverstärker werden in derartigen Systemen professionelle lineare Leistungsendstufen wie beispielsweise Electro-Voice P1200, P2000, P3000 oder Q44, Q66 eingesetzt. Beim Einsatz von Prozessorendstufen wie beispielsweise Electro-Voice P1250 wird der Endstufenprozessorteil einfach ausge- schaltet.

Die Installation und Bedienung des ACONE Controllers ist vollkommen problemlos, der Anwender braucht sich nicht mit der komplexen Ma- terie von Weichenfunktionen und Entzerrern zu beschäftigen. Alle Regler zur Anpassung an die Raumakustik und die Lautsprecherka- binette sind auf der Frontseite zugänglich, die komplizierte elektroni- sche Verknüpfung der Einstellungen wird automatisch intern realisiert. Die neuentwickelte PowerMax12 Weichenfunktion (Patents Pending) nutzt Endstufenleistung und die Übertragungseigenschaften der Bo- xen optimal. Dadurch werden klanglich erheblich bessere Ergebnisse mit geringerem Aufwand erzielt als mit herkömmlichen Frequenzwei- chen oder Controllern.

Der ACONE Controller eignet sich auch exzellent zum Aufbau von Aktiv 2-Weg Instrumentalanlagen für Keyboards, Bass und Drums und vermeidet durch die PowerMax12 Weichenfunktion den in herkömm- lichen aktiven Instrumentalanlagen häufig beklagten „lack-of-punch- and-definition“.

Mit dem erstklassigen Dynamikbereich von über 116dB, einem extrem niedrigen Geräuschpegel und herausragendem Preis-Leistungsver- hältnis ist der Einsatz des ACONE Controllers auch in kritischen Anwendungen in der Festinstallation eine bevorzugte Alternative zu herkömmlichen Frequenzweichen und Controllern.

Description

Meeting the highest requirements of modern audio applications - espe- cially, when it comes to sound pressure level, coverage and sound quality - is only possible when using active multi-component loudspea- ker systems which provide the possibility to separately amplify and reproduce the audio signal’s individual frequency ranges. Active 2-way installations with additional sub woofer systems probably offer the best price-performance ratio. The low frequency range of the audio signal is reproduced by the sub woofers while high-quality full-range cabinets take care of the Mid/Hi frequencies and vocals.

One of the essential advantages when using active 2-way systems with additional sub woofers is the fact that the vocals are not divided between several speaker systems. This, in return, offers more convenience when adjusting the sound system. Unlike than with active 3- or 4-way confi- gurations – difficult analyzing and measuring of sound fields is unne- cessary.

Since locating low-frequency sound is merely impossible, simply using monaural sub woofers is absolutely sufficient for smaller stages or rooms. On wider stages it is indispensable to use individual sub woofer systems for both sides. Otherwise, the level differences between bass and treble would result in audible degradation of the overall sound. Of course, adding a centrally located sub woofer might additionally impro- ve the sound quality.

The ACONE Controller has been designed to be used in high-performan- ce installations that employ active 2-way systems plus sub woofers. Applications like these also mostly incorporate professional linear po- wer amplifiers like the Electro-Voice P1200, P2000, P3000 or Q44, Q66. When using processor controlled power amplifiers like the Electro-Voice P1250, the processor section is simply switched off.

Installing and operating the ACONE Controllers is easy as can be since the user does not need to know any complex detail about crossover functions and equalization. All controls for matching the sound to different acoustic conditions and loudspeaker systems are located on the front panel. Difficult tasks - like electronic signal routing and settings for instance - are automatically carried out inside the appliance. The newly designed PowerMax12 crossover function (patents pending) optimally utilizes amplifier output power and loudspeaker transmission capacities. Compared to conventional crossovers or controllers, this results in an improved overall sound quality which is achieved with less effort.

The ACONE Controller is also most suitable for integration in active 2-way instrument reinforcement applications for keyboards, E-bass and drums. The PowerMax12 crossover function eliminates the often com- plained about “lack-of-punch-and-definition”, like it is common for con- ventional active musical instrument reinforcement systems.

Its excellent dynamic range of more than 116dB, the extremely low noise level and the outstanding price-performance ratio makes the ACONE Controller an advantageous alternative to conventional cross- over and controller solutions – even in the critical field of permanent installation.
