Inception 12A / Inception 12DSP
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Phonic Inception 12.
The Inception 12’s 1100 Watt amplifier uses Class D technology
to produce a shattering 131dB maximum SPL, providing sufficient
power for a wide range of venues. The Inception’s lightweight
design, ergonomic handles, M10 suspension fly points, and dual
pole mounts give the Inception exceptional portability. Phonic
transducer engineers designed a high BL force factor woofer
and a 1.75’’ pure titanium compression tweeter to achieve the
Inception’s astonishingly wide sound stage and a vivid, transparent
signature sound.
The Inception’s polymer enclosure and stunning vertical curvatures
also improve acoustic accuracy by minimizing distortion and
diffraction. Finally, reliability and durability was the paramount
factor throughout the Inception’s development. With 1100 Watts
of ground shaking power, a 2-channel on-board mixer, custom
engineered transducers, and great versatility, the Inception 12
simply excels.
Woofers and Tweeters Engineered Right
Unlike many speaker manufactures that use pre-assembled
OEM woofers and tweeters, Inception transducers are designed
from scratch – tailor made for the Inception’s unique enclosure.
Everything from the cone pulp, the curvature of the tweeter’s
titanium membrane, the Kapton voice coil gauge, to the
characteristics of the magnetic field, is uniquely Phonic, uniquely
Inception. The Inception’s state-of-the-art 12’’ woofer has a
high BL force factor and a long-throw extension which produce
marvelously deep and defined bass traditionally unattainable in
small enclosures. The 1.75’’ pure titanium compression tweeter
and 80degree conical horn complete the Inception’s vivid,
transparent sound signature.
Advanced Reliability
With experience and technology comes excellent reliability. But
you can never be too careful! As of the launch date, the Inception
has logged more than 1000 hours of real world and lab tests,
guaranteeing a remarkable level of reliability. From heated ovens,
freezing subzero rooms, high humidity chambers, to electrical
voltage spikes, the Inception has endured it all.
Advanced Electronics
With over 5 years of experience, Phonic has few equals when it
comes to advanced electrical engineering. With the Inception, this
cumulated expertise is on display. Core features include:
• Time alignment and phase correction: In listening tests, many
notice that the Inception 12 seems more “real” or more “live”
than other speakers. This is because Phonic’s active electronics
ensure that sounds from the Inception hit listeners’ ears at the
precise moments the original recording intended.
• High Dampening Factor and Woofer Stabilization: The
Inception 12 has a high amplifier dampening factor to ensure
that the woofer reaches optimal excursion. Additionally, Phonic
engineers added circuitry to manage the speaker’s electrical
feedback, in effect, stabilizing woofer movement. The high
amplifier dampening factor and stabilization circuitry give the
Inception its spectacular bass depth and clarity.
• Transducer Protection: Active electronics oversee tweeter and
woofer excursion, preventing audio artifacts, distortion, and
speaker damage.
• 4th order, phase-accurate Linkwitz-Riley crossover

SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Set all level controls to a minimum and the EQ controls to the
center (flat) setting.
2. Plug all necessary cables – microphones or other inputs – into
the available input jacks.
. Turn the power on and slowly increase the channel and system
volume to the desired level.
4. Adjust the available EQ, low-cut, feedback killer, delay and
other features to further enhance your audio.
Note:
It’s advised that users make all connections with shielded
cables. This helps to avoid hum, buzz and interference.
