L-Acoustics has launched the KS28 reference subwoofer, adding 3dB of SPL (over the SB28) and exclusively driven by its new LA12X amplified controller.
Intended for use in applications ranging from classical or contemporary music through to EDM or green field music festivals, the KS28 offers LF performance down to 25Hz, weighs 79kg (174lb) and is rapid and cost-effective to deploy, with all rigging integrated into the loudspeaker enclosure.
The LA12X is a new, future-ready amplified controller with 12kW of power, thanks to its smart DSP-controlled Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) with Power Factor Correction. Boasting up to 3.3kW/channel with record hold times, the LA12X is capable of operating off 100V to 240V supplies, while offering the highest tolerance to unstable mains. Universal SMPS ensures the LA12X can be taken around the globe while boosted DSP resources with AVB means the amp is future-ready. The most powerful amplified controller to date, the four in by four out architecture off the LA12X will make it a strong and economical choice for both rental and install projects.
The LA12X launch is accompanied by that of the LA-RAK II, an updated touring rack, offering worldwide compatibility in one model.
‘The duo of KS28 and LA12X will set a new benchmark. Offering more power and better low end resolution than any similar sized solution out there,’ says Florent Bernard, Director of Applications, Touring at L-Acoustics. ‘We’ve tested the products over the last three months in Europe, the Americas and Asia. The feedback from this pilot program is universally positive, with sound engineers telling us they’ve heard details in their mix that they’d never heard before. We are confident that the KS28 and LA12X will offer amazing new possibilities to rental providers and integrators.’
The new products are available for order immediately and will begin shipping in May 2016.
