PROFESSIONAL SOUND SYSTEM
Speaker System
Model 380-SE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TOA 380-SE is a 3-way loudspeaker system specifically
developed for the reproduction of electronic music. Analog
and digital keyboard synthesizers, drum machines, and guitar
synths require a speaker system with a wide frequency
response, high power capacity and the ability to handle the
extreme dynamic range these instruments produce. The TOA
380-SE was designed to meet these stringent requirements.
The system consists of a bass reflex enclosure housing a
heavy duty 15-inch woofer, a high-efficiency compression
driver coupled to a constant directivity horn, and an
exponential horn tweeter. The constant directivity horn
ensures a uniform dispersion pattern of 90 degrees horizontal
and 40 degrees vertical, while the tweeter delivers an even
response to 20kHz. This combination results in a smoothness
and clarity that prevents "ear fatigue" even at a high volume
levels. The system is rated at 360 watts continuous program
material.
The rear panel provides ¼ " phone jack inputs for full-range,
biamp, triamp operation. All inputs have parallel bridging jacks
for chaining multiple speakers. The mid- and high-frequency
level controls are recessed and located on the side of the
cabinet near the front for convenient operation.
The wooden enclosure is sturdily constructed, and equipped
with large side-mounted handles for easy transport.
Interlocking protective corners allow stacking of multiple
speakers, and the polyester finish resists scratches. A
removable black jersey grillecloth completes the high tech
look of the 380-SE.
