New Neos AXS Enclosures and PC Processors to Premiere in Frankfurt

At Prolight + Sound Frankfurt, Proel Sound Systems will debut a new series of high-end speaker enclosures and high-performance digital processors.

With the Neos AXS enclosures represent Proel's R&D department took full advantage of the support of Turbosound's acoustic engineers to optimize the performance of each mode, the company says.

The evolution of the original Neos Series has been further enhanced with the addition of new remote access and control functions, hence the new name "AXS."

Designed for a user base that ranges from demanding musicians to rental companies, the products are also suitable for permanent installations requiring high quality and remotely controlled functions, the company says.

The series includes five full-range and three subwoofer enclosures. Each model features a DA C-Audio power module, a new generation of Class D amplifier with switching power supply, capable of delivering outstanding definition and wide dynamic range with low distortion in a compact package, the company says.

The on-board electronics are based on the C-Audio Core DSP platform operating at 96kHz sampling rate and 40-bit floating point bit depth. This processor further optimizes the performance of the system though the use of sophisticated EQ, dynamic, and crossover algorithms, while providing network control via the Pronet control software.

Premium transducers with neodymium magnets, sturdy plywood cabinets with die-cast aluminum handles, dual-angle pole mount flanges, and multiple flying points round out the features of the series. Proel's new PC240 and PC260 processors, also based on the C-Audio Core DSP platform, allow audio signal processing capable of optimizing system performance using advanced functions and an intuitive user interface with direct access to all editing functions and remote control, the company says The incorporated technology exhibits some interesting features, like programmable sound pressure level management (SPLM), thanks to the use of an internal clock, and full remote control of all functions from a connected PC.

The PC240 and PC260, both with a full range of functions, each has two inputs -- with AES digital inputs in the case of the PC260 -- and four or six outputs, respectively. Each input offers a five-band, fully parametric EQ, 28 bands of graphic EQ, and three bands of powerful and versatile dynamic equalization. Each includes a fully programmable compressor/limiter and up to 600 ms of delay, as well.

The outputs offer any type of crossover filter up to 48 dB/8va and a five-band parametric EQ.
