TXP
Tractrix Pattern
The tractrix curve is a pattern specially designed to optimize the high range acoustic output, minimizing the effect given by the typical astigmatism of the costant directivity profile: in this way the sound performance is pleasent and natural.
The tractrix pattern allows for a dimensional reduction of the entire horn ensuring an easy placement in small size cabinets.
ADP
Asymmetrical Dispersion Pattern
The asymmetrical differential dispersion horn has a variable dispersion on the horizontal plane: it is narrow at the top (50°) and it progressively widens downwards (until 100°)
This asymmetrical pattern allows to “project” the sound in a wider area in the near field and a narrower area in the far field: the sonorized area assumes a rectangular shape.
The listening is homogenous in wider areas while in enclosed spaces, tipically with a rectangular shape, it is minimized by the sound emission towards the walls.
CCP
Costant Coverage Pattern
Constant coverage horns have an high directivity factor.
This feature allows the coupling of more speakers to increase the sound coverage capacity minimising the destructive interferences and the comb responses.
CXD
Coaxial Driver
Coaxial speakers have a driver installed right in the centre of the loudspeaker.
This allows for a incomparable phase linearity because in any hearing position the two tranductors lie on the same axis.
Besides with it being a unique element, it can be created an even more compact speaker.
NRF
Non Resonant Filter
A passive filter is by nature a resonant element: we use a circling critical damping that minimizes the typical harmful effects of the traditional filters.
This solution gives to the system a correct impulse response, an high feedback rejection, a better acoustic performance and a consequent reduction in energy and heating of the transducers’ windings/coils.
Everything ensures a higher reliability and system duration.
QBS
Quick Bracket System
A fastening system for brackets and other accessories using quick coupling plates with quarter turn butterfly clasps.
It is a commonly used system for moving head lights brackets.
PUF
Polyurea Finish
Polyurea is a type of elastomer created in the USA in the 1960s and used today for the most diverse applications: air force space, shipyards, protection for pipes in the petrochemical industry, anti-salt treatment in large metal contructions like bridges, oil platforms and aircraft carriers’ landing ramps.
When applied at a liquid state, it creats within seconds a monolitich film that perfectly covers the support, by following and water-proofing any shape or detail.
It is a tough material, resistant to water, erosion and aging that maintains over time its original elasticity.
WXF
Wax Finish
“Wax” finish is a technique that, by using natural products, allows to protect the wood surface leaving the wood grain visible.
Before the application it is possible to dye the cabinet in order to give the wood a particular colouring.
WBF
Water Based Finish
Water based finish (WBF) is a textured paint with a water base.
It is an ultra high coverage paint, very resistant to scratches and humidity.
The speakers that have a water based finish can be easily repainted with a water-based color.
LES
Long Excursion Speaker
Long excursion speakers allow to reach high acoustic powers and to contain power compression, minimizing the danger of mechanical damage of the elements.
LNP
Low Noise Port
The LNP bass-reflex port has an exponential type of conformation and a very wide mouth surface.
This reduces the turbolences introduced with the air passage, minimizing the noise made by the flow and its consequential distortion.
CCO
Cardioid Configuration Option
The speaker presents the possibility of using two (or more) elements in a cardioid pattern.
One subwoofer is rotated backwards from the other; by selecting the dedicated preset there will be an emission attenuation towards the back side of the system.
SPS
Self Powered Speaker
An acoustic speaker commonly referred as “active“.
It is an integrated system: the cabinet contains, besides the loudspeakers, a class-D amplifier and a DSP processor. Those last two are carefully calibrated to achieve the best performances, ensuring reliability, flexibility and ease of use without any compromises.
IDP
Integrated Digital Processing
An integrated DSP (Digital Speaker Processor).
The input signal is appropriately processed through filters, phase delay and a RMS+Peak limiter to optimise the system performance, maximising the services but protecting the speaker’s components.
4SP
4 System Preset
A system equipped with 4 “programs” preset in the factory.
With a simple button you can select the desired preset and the DSP modifies some of the parameters to adapt the acoustic response to different use conditions.
HTE
High Thermal Efficency
The electronic components “suffer” from high temperatures! In particular, the active elements in power units: if they won’t properly dissipate the heat, they can worsen the performances increasing the chance of breakage.
The high efficiency is determined by the choice of class-D amplifiers and by the mechanical superior design: the use of sinks and forced ventilation allows to always keep under control the components’ temperature without ever reaching dangerous conditions.
Even in extremely challenging situations the systems are stable and the performances are top-level!
MSO
Master/Slave option
The Master/Slave pattern is an option that allows to include to the active Master speaker a passive Slave speaker.
With this option it is possible to share the electronics (DSP and amplifier) of the first speaker in order to double SPL and coverage without doubling the costs.
PFC
Power Factor Correction
Power Factor Correction is an active electronic circuit that allows to reduce the power factor and, thus, to maximise the available active power.
In this way we obtain a high power performance in order to contain the sizing of electrical power cables in accordance and the most up-to-date regulations conformity.
SRM
Smart Rails Management
Smart Rails Management (SRM) technology implements the real time voltage detection in the power supply which reduces to the minimum the difference between the output rail’s voltages in order to improve the overall efficiency. The SRM system brings the output signal back to the power supply and modulates the voltage to reduce the heat dissipation and improve the performance.
