Bogen AFI-9 Specsheet

Driver Complement:

Low Frequency: Two Apogee 12" (305mm) neodymium magnet cone- type drivers are constructed of inherently waterproof compounds, providing very high resistance to moisture, enabling long-term stability of cone resonance and cone mass parameters. Magnet structure is encased in an integral heat-sink for long-term high-power applications, lowered distortion, and superb control of short-term impedance rise.

Mid Frequency

: Two Apogee 6-1/2" (165mm) permanent magnet cone-

type drivers are treated with waterproofing compound. In addition, a unique baffle mounting arrangement protects the driver cones from direct ingress of water or foreign elements. A totally enclosed frame design isolates the back wave output from interference with the low frequency chamber and protects the cone from any ingress of particles or moisture.

High Frequency

: One Apogee 4" (100mm) voice coil, 2" (51mm) exit horn-

loaded compression driver, driven by a powerful neodymium magnet structure; diaphragm is constructed of ceramic-coated metal alloy. The use of the most up-to-date Ferrotec Ferrofluid® developed for compression drivers assures greater power handling capability and lower distortion, and ensures that the short- and long-term impedance rises are minimal.

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 and add protective limiting, as well as active crossovers (for bi-amplified models and subwoofers). XLR inputs and outputs are standard on the DLC-24.
