INTRODUCTION
The AX16CL Line Array is a passive system equipped with sixteen 2.5” neodymium transducers with waterproof cones, designed
for portable and permanently installed applications where high power and clarity are needed. The aluminum frame box structure
ensures lightweight and strength, while the shape features a back-loaded transmission line design with clean mid-bass reproduction
and natural cardioid behaviour. The wide horizontal dispersion make the system flexible and adaptable to many different
applications.
The AX16CL line array module has been designed to be combined with the SW212A, a compact and lightweight double 12” Bass-
Reflex subwoofer, equipped with a 2800W Class D amplifier with Power Factor Correction and PROEL’s proprietary 40bit floating
point CORE2 DSP. Up to four AX16CL modules can be driven by one amplifier channel of the SW212A subwoofer. The built-in CORE2
DSP, which can be also remotely controlled using PRONET AX software, provides 4 presets for different combinations: 2, 4 or 1
columns plus 1 user preset.
The standard system, composed of four AX16CL line array modules and two SW212A subwoofers, features 5600W of total power
and a line-array dispersion pattern, making it the perfect solution for high-performance portable sound reinforcement applications.
Thanks to the elegant mechanical design the AX16CL can be easily transported, while the integrated suspension system makes its
deployment very fast and simple. Each unit comes with two aluminum brackets and four pins that allows multiple array elements
to be easily combined either together or with the matching SW212A subwoofer, or also in combination with the complete range of
mounting hardware available, including flybar and several brackets and stands.
The AX8CL is a column half-size of the AX16CL, so the two models can be combined together to form a more flexible column array
that can be pointed more precisely to the audience.
