The KLA12 12″ 2-Way Line Array Loudspeaker (Black) is a compact speaker designed to be used as part of a speaker array system. The speaker features a rugged ABS plastic enclosure that provides lasting durability in a lightweight package. The speaker has a 12″ woofer and a 1.75″ compression tweeter to provide crisp, detailed sound reproduction with a wide frequency response. An efficient 500W x 500W power amp module provides clear, strong audio. The efficient design allows up to 5 KLA models to be driven from a single 120VAC 15 amp electrical circuit.

The speaker has QSC’s DEEP DSP algorithm, which provides extended bass by actively managing low-frequency transients. GuardRail protection circuitry prevents the amplifier module from unnatural and destructive clipping. An auto-standby mode will auto-engage after 5 minutes of inactivity to save energy. XLR and PowerCon input and thru connectors provide connection versatility, while a Phoenix connector allows daisy-chaining.

The speaker is expressly designed for use in fixed arcuate line arrays, and has a 12:1 design factor with a 90 x 18? coverage pattern, allowing up to 5 units to be configured for 90 x 90 coverage. Most other systems require 6 units for the same coverage pattern. The KLA12’s SOLO (Single-Operator Logistics) Rigging System allows you to easily assemble and disassemble the line array in a short amount of time without special tools or external hardware.

Ar-Q (Arcuate Equalization) processing enables you to quickly tune the array, making appropriate adjustments based on the number of boxes in your array. By simply using a dial, you can choose the total number of boxes for a balanced and accurate tonal curve. Proprietary Intrinsic Correction technology adjusts the time, frequency, and amplitude response for a flat bandpass target.

Up to 2 loudspeakers can be mounted on a stand or over a sub for a ground stack, thanks to a threaded Tilt-Direct 35mm pole socket. The socket also allows you to aim the speaker 9? downward for the best audience coverage. M10 fittings in the top of the enclosure allow up to 5 units to be flown in a suspended rig. An optional array frame is also available separately for additional mounting options.
