F1220
The F1220 is a compact, actively driven, 2-way full-range
loudspeaker which uses a 12" LF driver and 2" HF compression
driver in an arrayable bass reflex cabinet. The HF driver is coupled
to a 60° x 40° (h x v) constant directivity (CD) horn.
The F1220 cabinet is constructed from marine plywood coated with
an impact resistant paint. Recessed handles are fitted along with a
rigid steel grill and acoustically transparent foam front. A pair of
countersunk M10 threaded inserts are provided on top and bottom
to accept stand adapters and mounting frames. The top, bottom
and rear panels of the cabinet also have flying tracks to accept
rigging hardware.
With a frequency response extending from 60 Hz to over 16 kHz,
the F1220 can be used in many applications without the need for a
separate subwoofer system. The relatively narrow dispersion angle
and high SPL capability of the F1220 allow it to provide coverage
to 20 m and beyond.
The F1220 is recommended for applications where high quality
sound reinforcement, particularly of speech and vocals, is a critical
requirement. The neutral reproduction, suberb transient response
and precise imaging of the 1220 system stems from the use of very
low distortion drivers. The system is able to cleanly reproduce high
level programs and, when used with active subwoofers, forms a
formidable front-of-house system.
Angled rear side panels allow a pair of F1220 cabinets to be
placed side-by-side to form a twin cabinet cluster with 120°
horizontal coverage. F1220 cabinets can also be flown individually,
or as a speaker cluster - the design of the flying fittings enabling
the speakers to be rigged, aimed, and set at various angles without
the need for additional stabilising guylines. The extensive range of
fittings and rigging hardware for use with 1220 systems is detailed
in the d&b Rigging Accessories Manual.
The stage monitor version of the F1220, the M1220, has a similar
electro-acoustic performance and uses the same controller module,
but has a cabinet shape more suited to its principal role as a stage
monitor.
Two F1220 cabinets can be connected to a single A1 mainframe.
