INTRODUCTION
The AX2010P Ver cal Line Array element is designed for a wide range of sound reinforcement applica ons where a
fl
exible and easy to use ver cal
array systems is needed. The AX2010P has been designed both for rental live sound applica ons and for
fi
xed installa ons and has been engineered
for the simplest use possible but without sacri
fi
cing anything in sound quality and performance.
The high frequency range is reproduced by two low-distortion
compression drivers, equipped with very light-weight diaphragms. Two
transmission line waveforming waveguides have been used to load
the HF drivers, in order to provide a detailed and natural sound and to
achieve a long-distance HF projec ng capacity.
The two 10” woofers employed in the reproduc on of the mid-bass
range are equipped with very light-weight cones. The lightness of the
diaphragm is furthermore improved by the use of aluminium voice coil
instead of conven onal copper. This ensure a fast reproduc on of the
mid range and of mid-bass musical passages, improving also the thermal
capacity of the voice coil and, consequently, controlling the overall power compression. The two
10” woofers are back loaded by a short hybrid transmission line that minimizes the e
ff
ect of the box
resonances and eliminates the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly obtained from regular bassre
fl
ex enclosures.
The crossover
fi
lter approach is based on a “Constant Power” technique. Thanks to a par cular phase combina on between the two ways around
the crossover frequency, this approach is able to provide a very stable horizontal coverage and a very stable o
ff
-axys sound image, also minimizing
unwanted e
ff
ects around the crossover frequency. The further applica on of phase lineariza on techniques, combined to constant power crossover,
yield a linear phase response and a coherent me response. This allows for a natural percep on of acous c instruments and voices and for an
improved depth of the sound image.
