Description

From corporate events to festivals, every aspect of Redline has been targeted at making life easier for the live sound professional. From transducers and electronics to enclosure design and tments, Redline is built to live in the working world of demanding clients, tight schedules and even tighter budgets.

The RL15 includes a complete on-board 1,250-watt bi-amplied electronics package mated to highly-customized precision transducers engineered to meet the specic demands of the Redline family. Redline features renowned EAW Focusing™ processing to deliver a pristine impulse response, while DynO™ algorithms optimize the power transfer from ampliers to transducers to audience to optimize headroom and integrity of sound at maximum output.

The RL15 oers perfectly consistent directivity via a Beamwidth-Matched Crossover on 90x60° user-rotatable horn and painstakingly-engineered ports that provide huge bass support with no turbulence. Three simple pre-dened voicings help the user to set up in minutes, and a rear-panel LED mute keeps Redline invisible in aesthetically-sensitive situations.

The RL15 enclosure incorporates symmetrical monitor angles to form leftright wedge pairs, integral road glove-ready wood handles and sleek but strong sculpted grilles on RoadCoat™ enclosures.

Six year warranty on enclosure. Two year warranty on electronics.

Notes

TABULAR DATA

1. Measurement/Data Processing Systems: Primary – FChart: proprietary EAW software; Secondary – Brüel & Kjær 2012.

2. Microphone Systems: Earthworks M30; Brüel & Kjær 4133

3. Measurements: Dual channel FFT; length: 32 768 samples; sample rate: 48 kHz; logarithmic sine wave sweep.

4. Measurement System Qualication (includes all uncertainties): SPL: accuracy +/-0.2 dB @ 1 kHz, precision +/-0.5 dB 20 Hz to 20 kHz, resolution 0.05 dB; Frequency: accuracy +/-1 %, precision +/-0.1 Hz, resolution the larger of 1.5 Hz or 1/48 octave; Time: accuracy +/-10.4 μs, precision +/-0.5 μs, resolution 10.4 μs; Angular: accuracy +/-1°, precision +/-0.5°, resolution 0.5°.

5. Environment: Measurements time-windowed and processed to eliminate room eects, approximating an anechoic environment. Data processed as anechoic or fractional space, as noted.

6. Measurement Distance: 7.46 m. Acoustic responses represent complex summation of the subsystems at 20 m. SPL is referenced to other distances using the Inverse Square Law.

7. Enclosure Orientation: For beamwidth and polar specications, as shown in Mechanical Specication drawing.

8. Volts: Measured rms value of the test signal.

9. Watts: Per audio industry practice, “loudspeaker watts” are calculated as voltage squared divided by rated nominal impedance. Thus, these are not True Watt units of energy as dened by International Standard.

10. SPL: (Sound Pressure Level) Equivalent to the average level of a signal referenced to 0 dB SPL = 20 microPascals.

11. Subsystem: This lists the transducer(s) and their acoustic loading for each passband. Sub = Subwoofer, LF = Low Frequency, MF = Mid Frequency, HF = High Frequency.

12. Operating Mode: User selectable congurations. Between system elements, a comma (,) = separate amplier channels; a slash (/) = single amplier channel. DSP = Digital Signal Processor. IMPORTANT: To achieve the specied performance, the listed external signal processing must be used with EAW-provided settings.

13. Operating Range: Range where the processed Frequency Response stays within -10 dB SPL of the power averaged SPL within this range; measured on the geometric axis. Narrow band dips are excepted.

14. Nominal Beamwidth: Design angle for the -6 dB SPL points, referenced to 0 dB SPL as the highest level.

15. Axial Sensitivity: Power averaged SPL over the Operating Range with an input voltage that would produce 1 W at the nominal impedance; measured with no external processing on the geometric axis, referenced to 1 m.

16. Nominal Impedance: Selected 4, 8, or 16 ohm resistance such that the minimum impedance point is no more than 20% below this resistance over the Operating Range.

17. Accelerated Life Test: Maximum test input voltage applied with an EIA-426B dened spectrum; measured with recommended signal processing and Recommended Protection Filter.

18. Calculated Axial Output Limit: Highest average and peak SPLs possible during the Accelerated Life Test. The Peak SPL represents the 2:1 (6 dB) crest factor of the Life Test signal.

19. High Pass Filter: This helps protect the loudspeaker from excessive input signal levels at frequencies below the Operating Range.

GRAPHIC DATA

1. Resolution: To remove insignicant ne details, 1/12 octave cepstral smoothing was applied to acoustic frequency responses and 1/3 octave cepstral smoothing was applied to the beamwidth and impedance data. Other graphs are plotted using raw data.

2. Frequency Responses: Variation in acoustic output level with frequency for a constant input signal. Processed: normalized to 0 dB SPL. Unprocessed inputs: 2 V (4 ohm nominal impedance), 2.83 V (8 ohm nominal impedance), or 4 V (16 ohm nominal impedance) referenced to a distance of 1 m.

3. Processor Response: The variation in output level with frequency for a constant input signal of 0.775 V = 0 dB reference.

4. Beamwidth: Average angle for each 1/3 octave frequency band where, starting from the rear of the loudspeaker, the output rst reaches -6 dB SPL referenced to 0 dB SPL as the highest level. This method means the output may drop below -6 dB SPL within the beamwidth angle.

5. Impedance: Variation in impedance magnitude, in ohms, with frequency without regard to voltage/current phase. This means the impedance values may not be used to calculate True Watts (see 9 above).

6. Polar Data: Horizontal and vertical polar responses for each 1/3 octave frequency band 100 Hz to 16 kHz or Operating Range.
