2.1. Product description
The 12S and 12S-D are high performance 2-way loudspeakers

employing a single 12” neodymium driver in a bass-reflex

enclosure and different HF sections for a wide range of installed

sound applications. Both models are lightweight passive designs

using a 1.4” exit neodymium driver and large horns for accurate

pattern control. They provide rotatable dispersion characteristics of

75° x 50° (12S) or 110° x 55° (12S-D).

With a frequency response extending from 48 Hz to 18 kHz, the

cabinets can be used as full range systems or supplemented by

different subwoofers of the xS- or xA-Series.
The enclosures are constructed from marine plywood with an

impact resistant black paint finish. The fronts of the cabinets are

protected by a rigid metal grill backed by an acoustically

transparent foam.

The cabinets are Ball Impact Resistant according to DIN 18032-3.

Rigging components
The 12S rear panels incorporate two M8 threaded inserts to

accept the Z5406 12S Flying bracket or the Z5402 Wall mount

M or Z5403 Wall mount L.

Top and bottom panels of the cabinets are each equipped with a

pair of M10 threads to connect to different rigging accessories

such as Z5411 Horizontal bracket 12S, Z5354 E8/E12 Flying

adapter or Z5020/25 Flying adapter 02/03. The M10 threads

are covered by dummy caps in cabinet color. The caps must be

removed before mounting any accessories.

Cabinet options
The weather resistant version (WR) is suitable for outdoor use

(IP34, vertical aiming up to +15°). The cabinets have an impact

and weather protected black PCP (Polyurea Cabinet Protection)

finish.

2.2. Connections
The cabinets are fitted with a pair of NL4 connectors and a two

pole screw terminal block (ST). All four pins of both NL4

connectors are wired in parallel. The cabinets use the pin

assignments 1+/1–. Pins 2+/2– are designated to active

subwoofers.

Cabinets with the weather resistant option (WR) are equipped with
a fixed input cable (PG type, H07-RN-F, 2 x 2.5 mm
