After years of design and research we are proud to introduce the Core

Loudspeakers play an important role in sound distribution.
Having versatility and durability play an important role in how well a cabinet
can be utilized. The option of having both in one cabinet design makes the
Core and Line Array speakers useful tools in the sound reinforcement

CORE 12 & CORE 15

CORE 12 & CORE 15

The Core 12 and Core 15 are unpowered 8 ohm 2-way speakers available in
white or black textured wood paintable cabinets with integral handle. The
trapezoidal design and removable rubber feet allow the cabinets to be
configured to lay on any side for optimal listening angle. The back panel
features two twist-lock plugs and a two terminal barrier strip. The two input
jacks are wired in parallel to provide a convenient way to daisy chain multiple
speakers to a single amplifier channel.

The Core 12 and Core 15 features a pole mount socket on the bottom of the
cabinet that fits a standard 1-3/8" speaker stand as well as (20) M8 Thread
Suspension points for hanging or “flying” the speakers at any angle or
position from a wall or ceiling.*

*When mounting speakers to a wall or ceiling use only the appropriate
hanging hardware (5:1 strength or higher) and follow all safety precautions
when installing.

The Core 12's two-way system is comprised of a 12" woofer and 1" high
frequency compression driver. The Core 15 features a 15" woofer and 1" high
frequency compression driver. The Core 12 and 15 have a unique constant
directivity asymmetrical horn which helps to provide more even coverage in
areas that need wider coverage close, and narrow coverage farther away.
The high frequency dispersion is 50° horizontal at +25° vertical above axis,
100° horizontal at -30° vertical below axis, and 75° horizontal on axis
The horn is rotatable so the box can be rotated for different uses and
mounting configurations.

Typically if flown or pole mounted the narrow pattern is desired for the long
throw and the wide pattern for the near throw, so the narrow pattern would be
at the top.

In a floor monitor configuration the wide pattern is typically at the top so a
performer standing close has room to move side to side and stay in the
pattern.
