12" 2-WAY 2400 WATT LOUDSPEAKER WITH WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
Designed and tuned in the USA, Black Series 2-way active loudspeakers offer more power, more agility, and more intelligence than any other speaker in their class. Power for the Black 12 comes from an efficient Class D amplifier capable of producing 1200 Watts of continuous, with peak power rating of 2400 Watts. The optimized HF waveguide provides an effective 90° x 60° coverage field. The cabinet features sturdy plywood construction with an anti-scuff coating. The steel grille is finished in a professional-grade powder coating. Custom-molded handles allow easy transport. Steel-reinforced rubber feet provide excellent stability. The Black 12 offers feet on two sides, for vertical or horizontal use. A pole-mount socket (35mm) is fitted into every model. Standard M10 rigging points allow the Black 12 to be flown. The illuminated logo nameplate can be switched off for more discreet installations. The Black 12 features two XLR+1/4" combo inputs offering individual level controls, and Input 1 is equipped with a Mic/Line switch. The single XLR Mix Output can be set for Pre or Post level controls. The internal DSP EQ can be accessed directly from the rear panel or Live Drive app. All models include a ground lift switch to minimize any unexpected ground loop hum at the venue.
