2-Way Active Multipurpose Monitor
Quick Start Guide
EXO
12-A is a versatile, high-performance full range 2-way active wedged monitor conceived
for professional environments where portable sound reinforcement is required, delivering a
superior audio reproduction in a very compact, multipurpose format.
EXO
12-A HF assembly couples a 3˝compression driver into common
EXO
Series birch plywood
axisymmetric horn with IDEA’s proprietary design and a premium European, dedicated-design
passive crossover filter provides a smooth, natural transition intro the MLF 12˝ woofer and
summing up into a full-range superior audio playback along the whole usable frequency
range from 20 kHz down to 55 Hz.
Like all IDEA models,
EXO
12-A is built with 15 and 18 mm birch plywood, IDEA’s Aquaforce
waterproof paint coating and a high-quality steel grille, creating a rugged, durable and stylish
loudspeaker. The 60° wedged cabinet allows not only to be used as FOH main system in small
venues, bars and AV applications and as a stage monitor but to seamlessly fit into any wall mount fixed installation.
EXO
12-A
integrates a bottom Pole Mount 35 mm socket to be configured on
BASSO
Series subwoofers for portable sound reinforcement
and medium performance venues and clubs. The dedicated U-bracket and ten threaded M8 inserts allow for all vertical and
horizontal U-bracket positions both for wall and ceiling fixed installations as well as to be precisely oriented in pole mounted
configurations.
