Rigging and suspension
WARNING: DO NOT SUSPEND LAs218.
Despite being a Line-array enclosure, it
was not designed having suspended use in mind. For such situation, please check on
www.next-proaudo.com for an appropriate model, or contact NEXT-PROAUDIO for possible
solutions. “Flying” boxes have specific construction methods applied that make such use
possible and safe.
UNPACKING
Each NEXT
LAs218 dual subwoofer is built in Europe (Portugal) by NEXT-PROAUDIO,
to the highest standard and thoroughly inspected before it leaves the factory. When
unpacking the NEXT LAs218, examine it carefully for any signs of possible transit damage
and inform your dealer immediately if any such damage is found.
It is suggested that you retain the original packaging so that the system can be
repacked in the future if necessary. Please note that NEXT-PROAUDIO and its authorized
distributors cannot accept any responsibility for damage to any returned product through the
use of non-approved packaging.
LAs218 OVERVIEW
The NEXT LAs218 is a front-loaded, bass-reflex dual subwoofer designed to be used
with any of the NEXT-PROAUDIO’s various Line-Array elements. Housing two long excursion,
very high power 18” drivers, delivers magnificent precision and “punch” in the very low
frequency band at incredible pressure levels.
The enclosure is constructed from high quality 18mm Baltic birch plywood and is
rigidly braced. The speakers are protected by a rigid metal grille and an acoustically invisible
foam so LAs218 can be the “ground-shaker” it’s supposed to be even longer. Four rear
mounted 100mm wheels make this heavy-weight easier to carry and the connections are
handled by two Neutrik® Speakon® NL8 connectors.
