Axiom Pro Audio Launches the AX1012 -- A Single-System Solution for a Multitude of Applications Axiom Pro Audio recently presented its first constant curvature array system, based on the full-range AX1012 enclosure. Capable of deployment as individual, point-source systems or in horizontal or vertical array configurations, AX1012 represents a versatile solution that can meet the needs of a wide variety of applications, from small, mobile main front-of-house systems, to fills of all types, to permanent resident systems for in-the-round venues like sports arenas. The multi-purpose design philosophy of this enclosure, and its entire related system of hardware and accessories, makes it ideal for providing maximum return on investment for rental companies. The array element is available in the AX1012A version with 900W + 300W class D bi-amplification on board, or the passive AX1012P version, each capable of developing up to 134dB SPL (@ 1m). The enclosure is equipped with a single 12" woofer with a 3" voice coil for the low end of the frequency spectrum, while a 1.4" compression driver with a 2.4" voice coil handles the high end. The driver is coupled with a proprietary seamless transition waveguide (STW) with a nominal dispersion of 20° along the short axis of the enclosure and of 100° on its long axis. The on-board amplification of AX1012A incorporates a CORE module based on a SHARC DSP. With internal 40bit/96kHz processing and high quality 24bit AD/DA converters, it offers a dynamic range greater than 110dB. It is network-controlled via the PRONET ax loudspeaker control software, which offers an intuitive user interface for system configuration, tuning, and live monitoring and control. The hardware system for the AX1012 is designed to maximize the flexibility of the system for the rental company while minimizing inventory complications. Just a few types of hardware allow for any type of flown, stacked or pole-mounted deployment. Built to the same high, road-ready standards of the Axiom range -- 15mm reinforced phenolic birch cabinets with highly durable finish, grill and hardware -- the entire AX1012 system is designed to be a go-to sound reinforcement solution for rental companies that require high quality and maximum application flexibility. For the specific needs of permanent installations, instead, the enclosure can be factory customized not only in terms of aesthetics -- with personalized colors according to specific RAL codes -- but also to meet electro-mechanical or weather-resistance specifications through the use of alternative connectors, types of finish, silicon treatments, rust-resistant metal parts, and other options.
