F12

The demands on modern high-performance systems re­garding their long-throw capability, low distortion, and
intelligible sound are constantly growing. The introduction
of DYNACORD’s patented Planar Waveguide technology
marks a quantum leap in the field of high-efficiency, direct
radiating subwoofer systems.

Typical long-throw systems offer extreme throw on the
cost of a comparably small directivity angle, so that several
cabinets need to be employed to provide coverage of the
entire audience area.

The Conical Waveguide horn F 12 CWH is a very compact
Mid/Hi-component offering an immense SPL and a com­parably wide radiation pattern. The speaker components
are coaxially mounted, which provides a smooth extended
frequency response within the entire radiation range.

In the Mid-Bass range works an ELECTRO-VOICE DL12 ST
high-performance transducer mounted on a Conical Wave
guide horn. The high-frequency range above 800 Hz is
reproduced by an ELECTRO-VOICE DH6-8 driver, firing
into a coaxially mounted 80°x55° wide coverage horn.

This coaxial design ensures extreme linear transmission,
without the occurrence of Dead-Spots as they are usually
found with conventional systems.

The sound of the F 12 CWH provides is marked through
its noticeably high dynamic range with comparably low
distortion. The linear frequency response between 100 Hz
– 19 kHz (-10 dB) is as excellent as its SPL of 106 dB
1W/1m and the cabinet’s off-axis sound is still impressively
neutral and uncoloured.

Because of its exceptional level of efficiency and
outstanding power handling capacity of 350 W (EIA RS­426A), Even when employed as stand-alone cabinet, the

F 12 CWH offers excellent long-throw coverage, stable
intelligible sound and superb performance.

The F 12 CWH represents a truly economic solution for a
wide range of applications in festival tents, halls and at
medium-size open-air events when compared to conven­tional long-throw systems (e.g. 35° x 35°) and because of
its wide radiation angle of 80° x 55° and its superior
medium and long-throw capability. Despite its wide
coverage, the Conical Waveguide design awards the F 12
CWH with an on-axis sound pressure level that is identical
to that of a typical long-throw component.

Integrated in the cabinet is a passive horn-EQ, which
allows using the F 12 CWH for vocal reproduction when
directly connecting it to any common linear power ampli­fier. Only employing a 160 Hz Lo-Cut filter is recommen­ded to protect the 12” horn system against low-frequency
overload.

Multi-stage protection circuitry guards the F12CWH driver
systems from being damaged by thermal overload.

The F9CWH is an extremely powerful and yet compact Mid/Hi­cabinet that has been designed for medium and long-throw
applications. The Constant Directivity horn HT94 is coaxially aligned
in a conical mid-frequency horn and offers a nominal radiation angle
of 90° x 40°, which provides extremely smooth transmission without
distressing interference in the x-over frequency range between the
mid and high-frequency horns.
The mid-frequency range is reproduced by an Electro-Voice DL 12ST
speaker system, while high frequency reproduction is taken care of
by an Electro-Voice DH2T driver with titanium diaphragm, which is
renowned for his excellent vocal definition and crystal-clear treble
sound. The SPL of 105dB/1W/1m allows almost doubling the
throw-capability of conventional direct-radiating loudspeaker cabi­nets.
Employing at least two Lo-cabinets per side – e.g. two F5 or two
F118 – for bass sound reproduction is recommended to match bass­SPL to the exceptionally high efficiency of the F9CWH.
(also refer to “Xa5-System” in the Application Guide on page 54).

F120

By designing its 2-way speaker system F120, DYNACORD set a new
standard for professional 12" 2-way cabinets. A sound pressure level
of 100 dB, wide coverage and its excellent sound quality make the
F120 equally suitable to be used as full-range cabinet or as Mid-Hi
component in active 2-way applications. When comparing the F120
to conventional 12" 2-way speaker systems, it provides nearly
double the throw and power as well as a convincingly natural
reproduction of vocals. An Electro-Voice DL12 ST 12" speaker serves
a s woofer system while an Electro-Voice DH2T driver with titanium
diaphragm and HT94 Constant Directivity horn provides
exceptionally powerful mid-range sound and crystal-clear trebles.
The newly designed frequency x-over is furnished with halogen
lamps and thermal-breakers, which provide reliable protection
against overload. The system-switch on the connection board allows
easily configuring the F120 for full-range operation or connection to
DYNACORD system power amps like the PM 2600 or Xa2600. The
carrying handles are prepared for retrofitting a TÜV-approved
rigging-kit to allow trouble-free “flying” applications.

F5

The F5 is a compact, but yet high-efficiency subwoofer system. An EV
DL15Y woofer works in the optimally vented cabinet, ensuring highest
power handling, efficiency and low distortion. The integrated passive
PowerMax x-over (x-over frequency 160Hz) features a parallel output and
an additional crossover output offering trouble-free parallel or x-over
operation when combined with professional full-range or Mid-Hi cabinets.
Reliably protecting the woofer against critical peak levels and thermal
overload are a thermal breaker and professional halogen lamps. The 4-pole
SPEAKON-type connectors wired-through, allowing active system installa­tions that employ DYNACORD system power amps PM2600 or Xa2600 for
instance can be set up using 4-pole SPEAKON-type cables, without the risk
of inadvertent mismatching. Four extremely robust castors are located on
the cabinet’s rear and four ergonomically optimised recessed handles facili­tate handling and transportation. Frontal protection is provided through a
robust steel grille that is covered with acoustic foam.

F150

A professional 15" 2-way cabinet offering optimal sound, low weight and
an outstanding price-performance ratio – that was the challenge for our
engeneering. A sound pressure level of 102 dB, wide coverage and its
excellent sound quality make the F150 equally suitable to be employed as
full-range cabinet or as Mid-Hi component in active 2-way applications
offering an convincingly natural reproduction of vocals. An Electro-Voice
DL15Y 15" speaker serves a s woofer system.
An Electro-Voice DL12 ST 12" speaker serves as woofer system while an
Electro-Voice DH2T driver with titanium diaphragm and HT94 Constant
Directivity horn provides exceptionally powerful mid-range sound and
crystal-clear trebles. The newly designed frequency x-over is equipped with
halogen lamps and thermal-breakers, which provide reliable protection
against overload. The system-switch on the connection board allows easily
configuring the F150 for full-range operation or connection to DYNACORD
system power amps like the PM 2600 or Xa2600. Frontal protection is
