DDeessccrriippttiioonn
The Quadra 12P is a powered, biamplified, two-way speaker system
engineered to provide the highest
levels of performance available in a
compact, powered loudspeaker.
Capable of over 130 dB peak SPLs, this
system can pump out a huge amount
of sound. The enclosure utilizes highimpact polypropylene in an injectionmolded plastic trapezoidal form with a
coated, perforated metal grille for a
cosmetically elegant yet durable
powered speaker system.
This two-way powered system is
comprised of an 800 Watt dynamic
peak power amplifier driving a 12"
BWX Black Widow woofer (1208-4)
with a Kevlar
™
impregnated cone, with
surround and dust cap specially
treated for excellent environmental
stability. A 200 Watt peak dynamic
power amplifier drives the RX22
compression driver and features a 2"
titanium diaphragm with Radialinear
Planar Phase Correction in the phase
plug (US Patent #6064745). A
Quadratic Throat Geometry constant
directivity horn (US Patent #6059069)
with a coverage pattern of 90˚ by 45˚
is molded integrally into the
enclosure.
The Quadra 12P houses one combo
female XLR, a 1/4" RTS phone jack
and one male XLR in its preamp, all
connected in parallel. A separate,
switchable female XLR microphone
input is also provided. The power
amplifiers are low distortion units
providing 400 W RMS into the nominal
4 Ohm load of the woofer and 100 W
RMS into the nominal 6 Ohm load of
the tweeter, both selected for their
reliability and superb musical
performance capability. Both
amplifiers feature our patented SPS
compression, which virtually
eliminates audible power amplifier
clipping.
