The System

Arc-Tops active (for fixinstallation)
und X-Tops active (for mobile application) 

The new Tops active are equipped with our proven digital amplifiers 
and networkable Fohhn Audio DSP with all the benefits. A stereo 
amplifier for connecting a passive Top or a passive subwoofer is 
integrated in each Top active. Every amplifier channel has its own 
DSP and can be controlled completely separately. For mobile use 
there are available 3 models: XT-33 active, XT-4 active and XT-5 
active, for fixinstallation there are also available 3 models: AT-35 
active, AT-40 active and AT-50 active. The Tops active offer the user 
a wide range of possible combinations. 

Fohhn Audio DSP
The unique aspect of the new active system is that the user has 
direct access to a fully programmable 2 x 10-band EQ, delay and 
dynamic processor on the active system via a four-line display 
or laptop and can produce his own sound or adapt the system 
to the conditions at the venue. Several Top active can be linked 
up with one another and controlled from a central location. The 
integral audio devices allow you to adapt the system to continually 
changing sound requirements. You can connect small, medium or 
large mid-high Top passive speakers or a passive Sub to the second 
amplifier of every Top active, depending on the area size and visual 
requirements. Perfectly adapted performance presets that can be 
activated at the press of a button are available for every speaker 
type. You can also adjust the system sound to suit your own 
requirements or adapt it to the room acoustics. Preprogrammed or 
configurable sound presets will provide you with assistance here.

All RAL colours and optional accessories for every Top active are 
available.

5. Description

5.1 System description

Top speakers 

All models of Fohhn Top passive and Sub passive can be used. A 
perfectly adapted preset is available for each passive speaker type. 
This preset can be activated quickly and easily at the press of a 
button. The speaker is protected by complex 3-band processing for 
bass, mid and high frequencies.
If you can´t find your desired speaker preset don´t hesitate to 
contact Fohhn Audio under [email protected].

More lightweight and powerful thanks to state-of-the-art 
Neodym technology.

The X-Top active oder Arc-Top active are fully equipped with the 
latest Neodym speakers and are therefore extremely lightweight. 
The most impressive aspect of the speakers is that all housings 
are manufactured from high-quality multiplex beech wood and not 
plastic. The clear reduction in weight compared to conventional 
systems results from the use of state-of-the-art digital technology 
and Neodym speakers. Users also benefit from a reduction in weight 
and transport space because they no longer need to transport extra 
equipment and racks to venues. External amplifiers, controllers, 
crossovers, equalisers and similar equipment are no longer required.
