6.2 VTX A12 VS VTX A12W
The A12 is available in standard and wide-coverage versions. The A12 offers 90-degree horizontal coverage, while the A12W offers
120-degree horizontal coverage. The A12 and A12W are acoustically and mechanically compatible, and can be used to create homog-
enous or combination arrays. The A12W’s wider horizontal coverage pattern can be especially useful in providing additional coverage in
short-throw and medium-throw applications.

Mixed arrays of A12 and A12W cabinets can be built to satisfy specific coverage needs. As the listening distance from an array decreas-
es, so does its coverage width. Depending on the venue geometry, A12W speakers can be used at the bottom of an array for broad near-
field coverage. The use of identical components in the A12 and A12W ensures that the transition between the two models is seamless,
without noticeable discrepancies in voicing or headroom.
Since the A12 and A12W require different processing presets to function correctly, they should never be assigned to the same circuit
group. Plan array circuiting accordingly.
6.3 IDENTIFYING A12 AND A12W
From the front, the A12 and A12W look identical, resulting in a clean and consistent look, even when creating mixed arrays. The A12W
input panel is colored blue to differentiate the two models, even when the system is suspended and/or at a distance.
