EXTENSIVE LX & LX-E SERIES COVER THE HIGH- PERFORMANCE SPECTRUM

The new LX and LX-E Series of loudspeakers each consist of nine models in total, comprising five full ranges (with FOH and monitor systems in both 12 inch and 15 inch versions), and four sub bass cabinets (in both 15 inch and 18 inch versions).

Boasting distinctive style and features, these high powered, high performance arrayable trapezoidal enclosures are capable of extremely high sound pressure levels and exceptional sonic quality with wide dynamic range and bandwidth.

Both series have been developed with exceptional features including the large elliptical Wave Guide horn, the use of cast-fame, large voice coil woofers for sustained output capability and minimal power compression under extended high-power use, and the ProTech™ protection system designed to protect the HF unit, just to name a few.

In creating the LX Series, we set some basic parameters to design a range that delivers without exception the performance, features and quality that our customers demand. We also kept it simple; the LX-E range has a ‘systems’ approach, a range of models that can be used together to provide solutions for nearly every audio challenge.

NEW LOOK, DISTINCTIVE FEATURES, HIGH STANDARD, GREAT POWER AND MORE CHOICES.

Elliptical Wave Guide Horn (1.4” Exit)

In comparison to a conventional rectangular horn, the elliptical Wave Guide offers superior control over HF coverage, with reduced distortion, greater output and smoother frequency response. The elliptical shape means that

there are no corners or parallel surfaces to distort, diffract or reflect the sound – therefore the output is smoother, cleaner and more consistent. Again, due to the elliptical shape, mid to high frequencies are diffused more efficiently.

ProTech™ Driver Overload Protection System

Understanding that sound systems are often asked to perform beyond their original design parameters, we have designed a smooth, progressive dynamic limiter/protection system that is carefully tailored to each model. Overloads are limited and drivers are protected against long term transient or peak conditions. The ProTech™ system progressively converts excess power to heat and triggers a reduction in power to the HF driver. When the overload condition is removed the system returns seamlessly to normal operation.

Sophisticated Crossovers Design

Each crossover in the LX and LX-E Series is built using the highest quality components and designed specifically for that system, enabling smooth power and frequency response control through the crossover region. The LX-15B and LX-18B feature integral two-way networks that allow a four-box system to be powered by one amplifier.

Trapezoidal, Plywood and Composite Construction

The LX-E’s cabinet is constructed from plywood on all critical surfaces (where durability is important) and wood composite where resonances need to be kept to a minimum. The trapezoidal shape further improves sonic accuracy by significantly reducing internal flutter echoes and standing wave resonances that are often apparent in rectangular shape cabinets.

Mounting points:

For maximum flexibility when installing, we have designed two specific models which feature 12 x M10 rigging points allowing the cabinets to be flown or arrayed. The LX-12E and LX-15E are fitted with these flying inserts.

Protective Finish

The LX is all finished using a tough, black industrial carpet offering exceptional protection and durability for life on the road. The LX-E is coated with Duraguard™, an abrasion resistant paint that creates a protective ‘skin’ around the cabinet. Both finishes

Trapezoidal designs allow more compact arrays and sonic accuracy

Titanium 50mm Diaphragm, 1.4” Exit Compression Driver

The elliptical Wave Guide horn is coupled with a 50mm (2”) tr ue compression driver designed specially for the LX and LX-E Series. This titanium diaphragm driver features a 1200g-magnet with a 3 5 m m ( 1 . 4 ” ) e x i t f o r b r i l l i a n t , n a t u r a l H F reproduction.

Large magnet structure and tight construction tolerances give accuracy, high efficiency and reliability

contribute to the overall safety in the set up and use.

Strong Grille, Square Handles and Castors

In order to provide maximum protection to the internal components of the loudspeakers, the front grilles are full steel and 1.5mm thick. The square handles allow the cabinets to be gripped securely and comfortably, therefore making them easy to move. Built-in castors are available on some larger units for ease of transportation.
