Printed in USA
A 2-way mid/high system in a trapezoidal enclosure. Includes
a horn-loaded 10-in MF cone with Radial Phase Plug™ and a
1.4-in exit/2.5-in voice coil HF neodymium compression driv-
er on a 90° x 45° constant directivity horn. Powering mode is
selectable: bi-amplified or passive MF/HF crossover.
The AS490e is engineered for use in permanent installations.
It provides the mid/high performance capabilities of the
90°(h) ASe Series systems in a separate mid/high module. It
can be used as a stand-alone system for speech-only applica-
tions or, together with an AS415e, AS422e or AS625e LF mod-
ule, provide full range performance in a flexible, modular,
multi-enclosure format. Includes comprehensive 3/8"-16
