Apogee Sound ALA-1DF Downfill Speaker Module

The Apogee Sound ALA-1 Series is designed to provide extremely high fidelity, controlled pattern, and uniform coverage in small-and medium-sized venues such as houses of worship, auditoriums, and screening rooms. This easy to use system takes the difficulty out of designing and installing with line arrays.

The main array (ALA-1) incorporates four metal-alloy woofer cone drivers featuring the pioneering voice-coil guidance system by NEAR, utilizing a unique Ferrofluid in the magnet gap. Listeners will experience realism and musical detail unlike any other compact line-array loudspeaker they've ever heard. The Long-Throw module (ALA-1LT) increases the array length by 50%, focusing this extra energy to augment and extend the performance of the ALA-1 for longer distances.

Both models (ALA-1 & ALA-1LT) also use horn-loaded high frequency metal dome drivers for added clarity and detail in the upper ranges, without the harshness of traditional high-frequency units. Like the woofers, each high frequency unit incorporates Ferrofluid for increased thermal capacity, better damping, and longer life in harsh environments.

The Down-Fill module (ALA-1DF) increases vertical coverage below the main array greatly improving articulation in front row nearfield listening areas often eliminating the need for stage-based front fill speakers.

When the application requires high-output low-frequency energy, the ALA-1S is a perfect partner to the rest of the ALA system. Its unique mounting bracket allows the full ALA-1 Line Array to be suspended and tilted. A neodymium driven 12-inch woofer provides high output and extended bass for music and video productions. Combined with the other ALA modules, the full system represents the most cost-effective way to achieve a true professional-quality system with unmatched realism.
