Powered, bi-amplified ultra compact line array module
8A » Bi-amplified 2-way system » 250 W low frequency 3rd Generation Class D power amplifier » 100 W high frequency 3rd Generation Class D power amplifier » 8" neodymium speaker » 2" diaphragm neodymium compression driver
The Aero 8A is designed for use as a multi-box array in small-sized live events where rapid deployment, precise coverage and high power are required.
compression driver with 2" titanium diaphragm. The driver is attached to a BPS-191 aluminium waveguidehorn assembly.
The easily portable and rugged enclosure is manufactured using Birch plywood and finished with a durable black paint. The Aero 8A's trapezoidal shape and rear located splay angle adjusters keep the front spacing between adjacemet elements the same, providing the array with a "seamless" front baffle, for improved array performance. The captive rigging system splay angles range from 0º to 10º in increments of 1º allowing a wide range of column curvatures to be accomplished. The loudspeaker components of the Aero 8A include a 8MN, 8" cone transducer and one M-60N neodymium
The two-way 3rd Generation Class D amplifier offers 250 W for the low frequency transducer and 100 W for the high frequency section. The amplifier provides extended bandwidth, improved dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion. Signal processing is accomplished by way of a powerful 24 bit DSP providing unparalleled control over critical signal parameters.

NOTES. 1.Frequency response: referred to 1 m; low end obtained through the use of near field techniques; one-third octave smoothed for correlation with human hearing. 5.Polars were acquired by placing the unit on a computer controlled turntable inside our anechoic chamber. Measurement distance was 4 m.
