Bag End POPAL2-I 2-Way Self-Powered Speaker, Black

Bag End's POPAL2-I is a full range, long throw, Minima One™ self-powered loudspeaker system offering high fidelity, high efficiency and high power handling capacity. It is designed for applications where high sound pressure and highly directive long throw capability are required - such as sound reinforcement (arenas, stadiums, theatrical); nightclub installations; house of worship. The POPAL2-I includes permanent rigging attachment points and three forged steel eye bolts. Constructed from durable 15mm birch plywood with a black textured finish, the enclosure is durable and attractive. The internal Minima One™ amplifier incorporates a high efficiency, low power consumption green design with advanced digital switching to automatically accept any line voltage from 88 to 270 volts. Low voltage contacts are provided for installations to remotely turn the amplifier on and off.

Time-Align® Technology

Time-Align® assures that the fundamental and overtones of a complex, transient, acoustical signal are presented to the listener in the same relationship as the electrical signal at the input terminals of the loudspeaker. The conventional loudspeaker spreads out the sound in time. When a rapid series of transients occur the results are blurring and lost detail. With Time-Align®, a transient is presented as a tight package of energy, with the same time relationships as the natural sound. This means that a rapid series of transients will be heard clearly.

True Time-Alignment™ requires much more than just physically lining up the loudspeaker components. It requires consideration of the driver placement, driver delay and adjustment of the crossover delay parameters. This achieves the precise simultaneous acoustical arrival time of each driver throughout the crossover region. The proprietary Time-Align® generator is still in use today to verify the time domain performance of our loudspeaker systems. When comparing a Time-Aligned™ loudspeaker system to any other, the dramatic clarity, realism, and overall pleasant sound of the Time-Aligned™ systems is easy to hear and appreciate.
