Description

The Quadra 12P is a powered, bi- amplified, two-way speaker system engineered to provide the highest levels of performance available in a compact, powered loudspeaker. Capable of over 130 dB peak SPLs, this system can pump out a huge amount of sound. The enclosure utilizes high- impact polypropylene in an injection- molded plastic trapezoidal form with a coated, perforated metal grille for a cosmetically elegant yet durable powered speaker system.

This two-way powered system is comprised of an 800 Watt dynamic peak power amplifier driving a 12" BWX Black Widow woofer (1208-4) with a Kevlarimpregnated cone, with surround and dust cap specially treated for excellent environmental stability. A 200 Watt peak dynamic power amplifier drives the RX22 compression driver and features a 2" titanium diaphragm with Radialinear Planar Phase Correction in the phase plug (US Patent #6064745). A Quadratic Throat Geometry constant directivity horn (US Patent #6059069) with a coverage pattern of 90˚ by 45˚ is molded integrally into the enclosure.

The Quadra 12P houses one combo female XLR, a 1/4" RTS phone jack and one male XLR in its preamp, all connected in parallel. A separate, switchable female XLR microphone input is also provided. The power amplifiers are low distortion units providing 400 W RMS into the nominal 4 Ohm load of the woofer and 100 W RMS into the nominal 6 Ohm load of the tweeter, both selected for their reliability and superb musical performance capability. Both amplifiers feature our patented SPS compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.
