Design
The Quint Audio L16 is a 2x8“ND/4”ND/2,5“ND coaxial 3-way actively/
passively filtered scalable top speaker system.
The 8-inch neodymium woofers of the L16 are high efficiency
transducers with extended mid frequency response and high power
handling capability. The speaker uses a specially designed lightweight
paper cone material and a Nomex spider which ensures a controlled
output even under severe mechanic stress.
The state of art 4“/2,5” ND coaxial driver with a patent pending
midrange integrator allows both diaphragms to work in parallel over a
wide bandwidth. This translates in greater combined output. The over
all throat exit is 1.4”. The driver is mounted on a specially designed
wave guide, followed by a constant directivity horn with a precise
opening angle of 110 degrees horizontally.
The L16 is built of birch plywood and equipped with a wear-, tear- and
impact-resistant hybrid coating. Various internal bracings and metal
supports are applied in order to increase the rigidity of the design. The
front is finished by a coated steel grille with an acoustically transparent
layer.
The L16 features an array-able rigging system and several external
rigging accessories are available. The L16 system needs to be
powered by dedicated Quint Audio processing and amplification.

Application
The Quint Audio L16 is a high SPL loudspeaker designed for scalable
vertical array setups in small and mid field PA applications. It is
specially designed to work in cooperation with flown or stacked
subwoofers as an ultra compact high performance package.
The L16 module is built symmetrically and has a number of special
features. Characteristic to the L16 is the powerful large format coax
driver mounted on a horn/waveguide combination that guarantees a
constant directivity of 110 degrees linear in a frequency range that
runs from 500Hz to over 16000Hz. The mid-low end is provided by two
powerful 8" woofers.
The crossover of the L16 is set in a way that in the frequencies in the
midrange, the waveguide and the woofers work together in perfect
coherence over a large bandwidth, so that in this area a huge surplus in
dynamic headroom and directivity is realized which strongly supports
the vocals in live setups.
By its ultra compact and smart design, the L16 is user friendly in
handling and rigging and very forgiving in setting up.
The system can easily be adapted to a desired coverage and to a
desired SPL-demand. L16 cabinets can be flown in vertical columns up
to 24 cabinets (depending on the shape of the column, please use
EASE Focus software to determine the size and form of the array and
the Speaker Cluster Calculator to determine whether the workload is
safe).
The L16 provides a 110° constant directivity dispersion pattern in the
horizontal plane. The cylindrical wave segments of each cabinet
couple without gaps and sum very coherently. Splay angles between
adjacent cabinets can be set in the range from 0° to 12° in 1°
increments.
