INTRODUCTION
The SW212A is a very compact Bass-Reflex subwoofer providing high output and extended low frequency response.
It is equipped with two 12” neodymium transducer with a 3.5” aluminium voice coil, large displacement suspension system and
composite reinforced, water repellent cone, able to provide clean and undistorted LF reproduction at very high SPL .
The system processing is based on the CORE2 DSP platform designed by the PROEL R&D Laboratories using one of the most advanced
SHARC DSP for audio applications. It features 40bit floating point resolution and top-quality 24bit AD/DA converters, for a perfect
signal integrity, dynamic range in excess of 110dB, and superior sonic performance. The PRONET AX control software, working on a
solid and reliable CANBUS based network protocol, provides an intuitive interface for the remote control of the whole system, with
the possibility of EQing, delaying, managing the protection functions, and monitoring the status of the amplifier.
The SW212A is powered by a CLASS D power amplifier with digitally-controlled SMPS equipped with PFC, reducing power
consumption (less than 0.9W in standby) while enhancing reliability and consistency in all operating conditions. The high efficiency
of the output stage improves overall performance delivering pristine power and clean output signal.
The SW212A has been mainly designed to provide the optimal low frequency extension to the AX16CL/AX8CL line array modules. The
built-in power module can provide 1400W to drive the two 12” woofers and 1400W to power up to four AX16CL line array modules
connected to the output SPEAKON. The built-in CORE2 DSP provides 4 presets for different combinations: 2, 4 or 1 columns plus 1
user preset (additional presets for processing other AXIOM speakers are also available).
The SW212A features on the top panel a special metal plate and it comes with a dedicated bracket for fast coupling with the AX16CL’s
rigging hardware. Using this simple system, up to two AX16CL modules can be easily installed on an SW212A.
