titanium diaphragm featuring a 65mm copper-clad, aluminium flat-wire voice coil yields high 
sensitivity, low distortion and extended frequency response. 
 

The two HF drivers are loaded by a wave converter with path length equalization, 

the ICWG, that transforms the spherical waves into cylindrical isophasic waves coupling 
seamlessly with the other high frequency transducers of the array. For maximum flexibility, 
For maximum flexibility this line-array element is available in two different coverage angles 
configuration: 90º horizontal by 8º vertical and 120º horizontal by 15º vertical. A 
combination of these modules provides optimum vertical coverage for any application. 
 
 

CONNECTIONS AND ELECTRIC DIAGRAM 

 

 

 

The LA122/LA122W is connected through Neutrik® Speakon® NL4FC plugs (not
