Axiom AX800A
Axiom AX800A
The AX800A is a compact lightweight powered line array element that combines superior sound quality with flexibility and ease of use in an organically styled moulded enclosure. It is designed for a wide range of general purpose indoor and outdoor live sound applications and many types of fixed installations. To fully extend low frequency response the AX800A is designed to be used with the complementary SW1800A subwoofer, a compact dual 18” hybrid manifolded bandpass design, in a recommended 4:1 ratio.
The high frequency range of the AX800A is reproduced by a low distortion titanium diaphragm compression driver with edgewound voice coil, loaded by an acoustic transmission line waveguide providing detailed and natural sounding high frequencies. The exceptionally lightweight high frequency diaphragm benefits from a very low mechanical resonance that is outside of the pass band, and therefore permits the implementation of a relatively low crossover point of 900Hz.
The two 8” woofers employed in the reproduction of the mid-bass range are equipped with very lightweight cones to ensure fast response at bass and mid-bass frequencies. They are loaded by a new aerodynamic transmission line design that results in clean mid-bass reproduction, natural cardioid behavior, and contributes towards vented cooling of the amplifier stage. The transmission line loading minimizes enclosure resonances and eliminates the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly obtained from regular bass-reflex enclosures.
