The A15 Focus and Wide enclosures are made of high-quality Baltic birch plywood and birch plywood to ensure maximum acoustic and mechanical integrity. The use of curved wood technology combined with thickness optimization greatly reduces weight and ensures that the cabinets are sturdy and acoustically optimized. Each enclosure features ergonomic handles, bottom ground rails, matching top tracks, and corner protectors to protect the side panels during transportation. The A15 products can be combined for hanging or stacking to form vertical or horizontal line sources, or used individually as configurable directional point sources. The highly versatile series includes the A15 Focus and A15 Wide passive 15-inch systems with unique coverage patterns. The combination of A15 Focus and A15 Wide can be flown or stacked to form a vertical line source. The A15 Focus can also be used individually as a configurable direct point source for front fill or delay applications that require narrow coverage.
The A15 can accommodate almost any audience geometry and offers two options for shell coverage (10° or 30°). Panflex allows users to configure the waveguide directivity (70°, 110°, or 90° asymmetrical) and a range of vertical or horizontal deployment accessories. The main difference between A15 focus and A15 wide is the vertical coverage angle.
10° Vertical Coverage Angle:
Narrow coverage range: A 10° vertical coverage angle means that the sound from the speaker will be highly concentrated in the vertical direction, covering only a very narrow area.
Suitable for long-distance projection: A 10° angle is suitable for situations where the sound needs to be accurately projected to a distant target, such as outdoor concerts or stadiums.
30° Vertical Coverage Angle:
Wider coverage range: A 30° vertical coverage angle means that the sound from the speaker will have a wider dispersion in the vertical direction, covering a broader area.
Suitable for close-range use: A 30° angle is suitable for occasions where a wider area needs to be covered, such as small concerts, conference rooms, or indoor events.
The appropriate vertical coverage angle depends on the specific needs of the venue. A narrower angle is suitable for situations that require long-distance projection and precise sound positioning, while a wider angle is suitable for situations that require coverage of a broader area. The selection of the appropriate line array speaker is typically based on the characteristics of the venue and the requirements of the event, in order to ensure that the audience receives the best sound quality and coverage range.
