INTRODUCTION
The AX2065P Ver cal Line Array element is designed for a wide range of sound reinforcement applica ons where a
fl
exible and easy to use ver cal
array systems is needed. The AX2065P has been designed both for rental live sound applica ons and for
fi
xed installa ons and has been engineered
for the simplest use possible but without sacri
fi
cing anything in sound quality and performance.
The high frequency range is reproduced by a low-distor on compression driver, equipped with very light-weight
Titanium diaphragms and a special new suspension design for very natural sound. A transmission line wave-
forming waveguide has been used to load the HF driver, in order to provide a detailed and natural sound and
to achieve a long-distance HF projec ng capacity.
The two 6.5” woofers employed in the reproduc on of the mid-bass range are equipped with very light-
weight cones and rubber suspension to extend the low frequency
response. The lightness of the diaphragm is furthermore improved
by the use of aluminium voice coil instead of conven onal copper.
This ensure a fast reproduc on of the mid range and of mid-bass
musical passages, improving also the thermal capacity of the voice coil and, consequently, controlling
the overall power compression. The two 6.5” woofers are back loaded by a short hybrid transmission
line that minimizes the e
ff
ect of the box resonances and eliminates the “boxy” mid-bass sound
commonly obtained from regular bassre
fl
ex enclosures. The crossover
fi
lter approach is based on a
“Constant Power” technique. Thanks to a par cular phase combina on between the two ways around
the crossover frequency, this approach is able to provide a very stable horizontal coverage and a very
stable o
ff
-axys sound image, also minimizing unwanted e
ff
ects around the crossover frequency. The
further applica on of phase lineariza on techniques, combined to constant power crossover, yield a
linear phase response and a coherent me response. This allows for a natural percep on of acous c
instruments and voices and for an improved depth of the sound image.
