The AFI-3 offers exceptional output power with excellent high frequency pattern control. With the addition of a subwoofer, the AFI-3 can handle high-level music in clubs and discos. The AFI-3 high frequency horn is available in a 60° x 45° or 90° x 45° pattern. These horns and the logo plate are rotatable to allow alternative hanging positions.

Processor Notes:

The AFI Controller consists of an analog Main Frame which accepts four voicing modules. Modules are available for each of the different AFI loudspeaker types, with two module bays required for bi-amplified speakers. 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 controllers provide factory-set equalization curves to smooth the response, protective limiting, and active crossovers (for bi-amplified models and subwoofers). Barrier strip inputs and outputs are standard on the AFI Controller. XLR inputs and outputs are standard on the DLC24.
