INTRODUCTION

  • AX1012P is a versatile constant curvature full-range element that can be used to create both vertical and horizontal line source arrays and also as a high-directivity point-source loudspeaker.
  • The 1.4” high-frequency compression driver is coupled to STW – Seamless Transition Waveguide, which ensures precise control of mid-high frequencies both on the horizontal and vertical axis, for a perfect acoustic coupling between the enclosures that form the array.
  • The unique waveguide design produces vertical line source directivity with a horizontal pattern that is maintained down to approximately 950Hz. This allows to projecting of clean music and vocals evenly around the audience without hot spots and dead spots.
  • The sharp SPL off-axis rejection is used to avoid reflecting surfaces in the enclosure coupling plane and perfectly adjusts the acoustic coverage to the audience geometry.
  • The AX1012P tour-grade 15mm phenolic birch plywood cabinet is fitted with four integrated steel rails, to be used for coupling the cabinets with the KPTAX1012 aluminium coupling bars. A comprehensive set of accessories is available for creating horizontal or vertical arrays and for ground-stacking the systems.
  • AX1012P is recommended for use as indoor FOH (Left – Centre – -Right systems) or outdoor FOH in small to medium-sized events, as per its predisposition as a passive system it is ideal for permanent fixed installations from small to large venues such as convention centres, sports halls, stadiums and so on.
  • It can be used also as a complement to large systems such as Out-fill, In-fill or distributed fill applications in a wide range of venues, providing clear sound to areas not fully reached by the main system, while minimizing unwanted interactions and room reflections.

PREDICTION: EASE Focus 3

  • To aim correctly a complete system we suggest to use always the Aiming Software – EASE Focus 3:
  • The EASE Focus 3 Aiming Software is a 3D Acoustic Modelling Software that serves for the configuration and modelling of Line
  • Arrays and conventional speakers are close to reality. It only considers the direct field, created by the complex addition of the sound contributions of the individual loudspeakers or array components.
  • The design of EASE Focus is targeted at the end user. It allows the easy and quick prediction of the array performance in a given venue.
  • The scientific base of EASE Focus stems from EASE, the professional electro- and room acoustic simulation software developed by AFMG Technologies GmbH.
  • It is based on the EASE GLL loudspeaker data file required for its use, please note that the are multiple GLL files for the AX1012P systems.
  • Each GLL file contains the data that defines the Line Array about its possible configurations as well as its geometrical and acoustical properties that are different from vertical or horizontal applications.
  • Download the EASE Focus 3 app from the AXIOM website at http://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on the downloads section of the product.
  • Use the menu option Edit / Import System Definition File to import the GLL files about AX1012P configurations from the installation Data folder, the detailed instructions to use the program are located in the menu option Help / User’s Guide.

RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS

  • AX1012P arrays deliver seamless coverage only to desired areas minimizing unwanted reflections of walls and surfaces or avoiding interactions with other sound systems, with the stage or with other areas. Multiple units in horizontal or vertical arrays allow to shape of the radiation pattern in slices of 20°, providing exceptional flexibility in the construction of the desired coverage angle.
  • The AX1012P cabinet is provided with four integrated steel rails, to be used for coupling the cabinets with the KPTAX1012 aluminium coupling bars.
  • A comprehensive set of accessories is available for rigging horizontal or vertical arrays, for ground-stacking the systems and also for pole mounting one or two units.
  • The rigging system does not require additional adjustments, since the aiming angle of the array is determined only by using the proper hole in the flying bars with the use of the predicting software.
  • The following instructions show how to proceed to assemble the speakers to form various types of arrays, starting from a simple 2-unit horizontal array to more complex ones: please read all of them carefully.

WARNING! CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USE:

  • This loudspeaker is designed exclusively for Professional audio applications. The product must be installed by qualified personnel only.
  • Proel strongly recommends that this loudspeaker cabinet be suspended taking into consideration all current National, Federal, State and Local regulations. Please contact the manufacturer for further information.
  • Proel do not accept any liability for damage caused to third parties due to improper installation, lack of maintenance, tampering or improper use of this product, including disregard of acceptable and applicable safety standards.
  • During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing. Wear suitable protective clothing. Observe all instructions given on the rigging components and the loudspeaker cabinets. When chain hoists are in operation ensure that there is nobody directly underneath or in the vicinity of the load. Do not under any circumstances climb on the array.

WIND LOADS

  • When planning an open-air event it is essential to obtain current weather and wind information. When loudspeaker arrays are flown in an open-air environment, possible wind effects must be taken into account. Wind load produces additional dynamic forces acting on the rigging components and the suspension, which may lead to a dangerous situation. If according to the forecast wind forces higher than 5 ft (29-38 Km/h) are possible, the following actions have to be taken:
  • The actual on-site wind speed has to be monitored permanently. Be aware that wind speed typically increases with height above ground.
  • Suspension and securing points of the array should be designed to support double the static load to withstand any additional dynamic forces.

WARNING!

  • Flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces higher than 6 ft (39-49 Km/h) is not recommended. If the wind force exceeds 7 ft (50-61 Km/h) there is a risk of mechanical damage to the components which may lead to a dangerous situation for persons in the vicinity of the flown array.
  • Stop the event and make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the array.
  • Lower and secure the array.

2-UNIT HORIZONTAL ARRAY
Follow the sequence below to couple two AX1012P units in a horizontal array: you can use the same procedure for assembling all horizontal arrays. Each AX1012P has several bumpers on each side of the box that fit in the slots of the adjacent box: this allows to arrangement of the boxes perfectly aligned for inserting easily the coupling and flying bars.

  1. Place the box on the floor exactly under the lifting point.
  2. Remove the locking plate at the end of the flying bar.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (9)
  3. Insert the bar in the rails from the front of the speakers.
  4. Put back in place the locking plate and lock it with the pin.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (10)
  5. Place the cam into the hole chosen for lifting: always be sure that all pins are firmly inserted in their position.
  6. Connect the lifting system using the supplied shackle.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (11)
  7. Lift the system to a height that allows to insert the coupling bar into the cabinet’s bottom.
  8. Remove the locking plate at the end of the coupling bar.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (12)
  9. Insert the coupling bar in the rails from the front of the speakers.
  10. Put back in place the locking plate and lock it with the pin.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (13)

HORIZONTAL ARRAY EXAMPLES

For more complex horizontal arrays made of from 3 to 6 units, you can proceed similarly, assembling the whole system to the ground and raising it all together. The following figures show how to arrange 2 to 6 units of horizontal arrays.
NOTE: remember that one PLG714 shackle is supplied with each KPTAX1012H horizontal flying bar and three PLG714 shackles are supplied with each KPTAX1012T suspension bar.

For horizontal arrays made of more than 6 loudspeakers, as a rule of thumb, one KPTAX1012H flying bar should be used at most every two or three boxes, as in the following examples. When flying arrays with more than 6 units, it is advisable to use multiple lifting points connected directly to the KPTAX1012H flying bars, without using the KPTAX1012T suspension bars.

2-UNIT VERTICAL ARRAY

  • Follow the sequence below to assemble up to four AX1012P units into a vertical array. Each AX1012P has several bumpers at each side of the box that fit in the slots of the adjacent box: this allows to arrangement of the boxes perfectly aligned for inserting easily the coupling bars.
  • The first step before lifting the system is to assemble the fly bar to the first box. Be careful to insert properly all the bars and their locking pins, with the shackle in the right hole as specified by the aiming software. When lifting and releasing the system, always proceed slowly and gradually step by step, being careful to correctly assemble all the rigging hardware and to avoid endangering yourself and your hands from being crushed.

NOTE: remember that one PLG714 shackle is supplied with the KPTAX1012V vertical flying bar.

  1. Remove the pins at the end of the flying bar, and insert the flying bar into the rails of the first box.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (20)
  2. Put back in place the pins in their hole, making sure that they are inserted correctly. Fix the shackle in the chosen hole and link the lifting system.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (21)
  3. Lift the first box, and place the second box on the floor just underneath the first one. Let down slowly the first box over the second one, aligning the bumpers and the slots of the two loudspeakers.
    • Note: a proper wedge placed between the cabinet to be linked and the floor can be useful.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (22)
  4. Link the first box to the second box using two coupling bars: remove the pins and the locking plates and insert the bars into the cabinet rails from the front.AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (23)
  5. Put back in place the locking plates and fix them reinserting the pins in their hole.
  6. Be sure that all hardware is firmly fixed before lifting the system and proceeding to link the third and fourth boxes (if required).AXIOM-AX1012P-Passive-Constant-Curvature-Array-Element-FIG-1 (24)

Note: in a vertical array, since the first unit can be connected to the flybar indifferently from either side of the box, the HF horn can result either to the left or to the right side of the array. In a small venue, could be a good choice to place the HF horns of each left and right array symmetrically to the external, to obtain a more coherent stereo image in the centre of the venue. In medium or large venues the symmetrical HF horn placement is less important due to the bigger distance between the left and right arrays.

VERTICAL ARRAY EXAMPLES

The following figures are examples of vertical arrays made of from 2 to 4 units.
NOTE: 4 is the maximum number of units in a vertical array.

DOWN-FIRING ARRAY EXAMPLE
One additional use of AX1012P in vertical array configuration is as a down-firing system, with a maximum of 4 units. In this case, two KPTAX1012V flying bars are used, one at each side of the array, so the array can be suspended from two points and aimed to be completely on the vertical axis, as in the figure below:
