INTRODUCTION

The AX12LF Line Array is a passive system equipped with twelve 3.5” long-excursion neodymium transducers with 

waterproof cones, designed to provide low-frequency extension for AX12C and AX6C multiple systems.

Wherever a subwoofer is not needed, such as in speech applications or corporate events, the AX12LF provides a one 

octave low frequency extension to the AX12C and AX6C. The same lightweight aluminum frame box and the common 

suspension systems allow perfect integration with AX12C and AX6C elements.

The AX12LF line array module can be combined in different configurations with the AX12C (or AX6C – basically two 

AX6C correspond to one AX12C). Possible configurations range from a simple two-unit column with one AX12C plus one 

AX12LF suspended or installed on the ground, four-unit columns with one AX12LF at the base or one at the base and 

one at the top, and very large suspended systems with four AX12C and two AX12LF at the back (end fire configuration). 

The AX12LF can be powered using QC Series Class D processed amplifiers. Different presets for different combinations 

are available for the built-in CORE DSP, which can be also remotely controlled using PRONET AX software.

Thanks to the elegant mechanical design the AX12C can be easily transported, while the integrated suspension 

system makes its deployment very fast and simple. Each unit comes with two aluminum brackets and four pins that 

allows multiple array elements to be easily combined either together or with AC12C and AX6C elements, or also in 

combination with the complete range of mounting hardware available, including flybar and several brackets and stands.
