POWERV12-BLACK

The compact POWERV12 combines Tannoy’s Dual Concentric™, point source, constant directivity drive unit with a sophisticated amplifier package integrated within the speaker cabinet. By eliminating speaker cables and tailoring the signal processing and amplifiers to the combined driver/enclosure system response, the POWERV12 offers increased output and reduced distortion for each watt expended. The actual installation process is simplified, as there is no need for heavy external amplifier racks, and setup is faster because fewer components need to be connected and commissioned.

The POWERV12 is equipped with a highly efficient, flexible and reliable Class D power amplifier incorporating a switching power supply. The amplifier section and power supply were developed simultaneously and therefore optimally matched to minimise noise and enhance stability. The power module combines light, efficient and cool-running amplification, comprehensive driver protection and equalisation into a single compact unit. Clean, undistorted sound is delivered, even when driven at very high power levels. No cooling fans are required so the system runs quietly and is not prone to internal dust contamination.

The POWERV12 capitalises on the integrated design concept as every component part and their interaction is fully optimised. All signal processing functions have been precisely tailored; crossover frequencies and slopes, EQ, phase corrections and limiting. LED’s on the rear panel indicate signal presence, signal activity, and power. Signal input and audio link are via XLR, while the mains connector is a Neutrik locking Powercon type.

A switch on the rear panel of the full range model allows selection between Full Range or High Pass modes, with High Pass allowing a speaker to be mounted in close proximity to a boundary or simply to increase headroom. High pass mode also enables a simple top box and subwoofer combination to be created without the need for an external crossover. Two low pass setting options on the subwoofer amplifiers fully optimise integration with the full range units.

The POWERV12 is premium quality installation cabinet based around a high power 300mm (12.00") point source, constant directivity Dual Concentric™ drive unit. A drive unit which features a reinforced paper mid bass cone and double rolled cambric surround for high sensitivity, as well as a dual magnet assembly and a Tulip WaveGuide™ for the high frequency unit.

These two drivers are properly merged into one with the high frequency mounted in the throat of the mid bass; therefore coincidentally aligning both transducers to a point source. The result is a smooth, uniform frequency response over a wide coverage area, unachievable with discrete, two-way designs in the vertical plane where massive cancellations appear off axis at the crossover frequency. The 90° controlled conical dispersion of the Dual ensures optimal coverage and forward gain, enabling either vertical or horizontal mounting without compromising sound quality.

A higher power output solution for high quality music and speech reproduction, this versatile loudspeaker also has, due to effective acoustic matching to the other POWERV Series models, a wide range of applications in more space-restricted areas within larger installations, including nightclub infill, theme bars, performing arts centres, high quality public address, theme parks, leisure venues, audio visual, houses of worship and more. The asymmetric cabinet profile is flexible and discreet in either fixed installations or on the road. Used as a low profile stage monitor, the conical coverage pattern gives the performer greater freedom of movement off axis than allowed by conventional horn loaded designs.
