PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The IS twelve three (123) series of loudspeakers are specifically designed for providing reinforcement in fixed installations
where high sonic performance and flexibility in precise pattern control are critical. Precision designed with Mathematically
Modeled Dispersion™ the twelve three series provide exceptionally linear pattern control through crossover making the
series perfect for critical applications. Self powered versions used in conjunction with Klein+Hummel K8 products provide
a factory tuned and easily-managed reinforcement system for night clubs, auditoriums, houses of worship, performance
halls, arenas and stadiums.

ARCHITECT & ENGINEERING SPECS
The sound reinforcement loudspeaker system shall utilize a 12” low frequency driver with 4” voice coil and a coaxial 2”/1”
mid/high frequency driver. The loudspeaker shall provide at least 97 dB sound pressure level at a distance of 1 meter
when driven with 1 Watt. The maximum peak sound pressure level shall be at least 132 dB. The coverage angle of the
high and mid frequency horn shall be 80 degrees horizontal x 50 degrees vertical, field rotatable or 50 degrees horizontal
x 40 degrees vertical, field rotatable and shall be desingned using Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ technology. The
backplate shall be modular and externally removable with options for direct drive through Neutrik NL4 connectors, passive
crossover electronics with Neutrik NL4 connectors or an active amplified backplate, all field installable. The frequency
response shall be usable in an equalized system between 58 Hz and 22 kHz, +/- 3dB.
