Apogee Sound AE-5 Datasheet
Driver Complement:
Low Frequency: One Apogee 12"(305mm) neodymium magnet
cone-type driver is treated with a waterproofing compound,
providing resistance to moisture, and enabling long-term stability of
cone resonance and cone mass parameters
High Frequency
: One Apogee 1"(25mm) throat composite
diaphragm compression driver is treated with Ferrofluid
®

The AE-5 two-way, bi-amped system
is the flagship of the Apogee line.
This fully arrayable system functions
brilliantly when used alone or as a
building block for a large
sophisticated system, thus making it
one of the most versatile
loudspeakers ever developed.

Processor Notes:
The DLC24 Digital Loudspeaker Controller is a digital engine with an analog
surface. It combines the most advanced technology available with intuitive
interfaces to provide the key elements that ensure optimal loudspeaker
system performance and management in a variety of live sound and fixed
installation applications.
The controller provides factory-set equalization curves to smooth the
response, protective limiting, and active crossovers (for bi-amplified models
and subwoofers).
