1.INTRODUCTION
1.1.General
Amate Electroacústica, s.l.
would like to thank you for your confidence in our new
MAW Series,
specially designed for Line Array configurations.
The accumulated experience of more than 30 years in the design of acoustic
cabinets and amplifiers, together with the application of the most advanced
technology and transducers, have allowed this series to become the optimal and
ideal solution for a wide range of situations, specially those which require high levels
of sound pressure and a control of vertical coverage. Stadiums, theatres, big events,
etc... will become the perfect places for its use.
We suggest you carefully read the following instructions in order to obtain the best
results in performance.
2.MAW-218 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Amate Electroacústica
offers one version of its
MAW-218
Low frequency
reinforcement System.
MAW-218/D
: Active version with DSP control
It includes two 18" Neodymium Woofers and they are acoustically controlled by the
volume of its two chambers. We obtain an excellent performance with very low levels
of distortion.
2.1. 18" Neodymium Loudspeakers
The 18" transducers used, which are probably the best ones on the current market
with these features, offer a clean, undistorted low frequency reproduction at very high
sound pressure levels. This low distortion and unmatched quality are further and
significantly improved by the double demodulating rings (DDR) embedded in the pole
piece of the magnetic structure. These are designed
to dramatically reduce the intermodulation and third order distortion while also
improving transient response. Excellent heat dissipation is achieved by incorporating
external magnetic configuration.
2.2.Finish
The
MAW-218D
has been made of vibration and moisture-resistant birch plywood. All
cutting and milling work, as well as drilling operations, has been developed by
computerized numeric control machinery (CNC) which allows us to ensure perfect and
accurate assembly.
The black finish, which uses totally ecological water-based acrylic resin paint, provides
an excellent external protection
It includes a 2mm black-painted steel grille with acoustically transparent foam on the
front side.
