The Tecnare LA208 array is an extremely compact high oputput, lightweight enclosure housing two 8 inches speakers, and one 1.4 inches compression driver attached to a waveguide device. The system can be supplied in active Pcc version or passive one. The active PCC version has an output connector to power one passive LA208 box. The LA208 Array delivers extended bass response and well balanced clean mids and highs. High frequency is handled by one 3 inches coil, 1.4 inches exit compression driver attached to a 85ºx10º wave guide. The system’s shape is trapezoidal, so we can better angle and focus it’s elements. This feature could partially solve front fill applications, if the front fill focused elements could be managed independently a part from the other elements of the array. This can be done with the active LA208 Array versions, as each loudspeaker, or group of 2 speakers, are individually DSP controlled by it’s own digital processor. This performance give us the possibility to program air absortion correction, modified eq’s and gain for front fill situations, directivity control... and all the parameters we need to optimize the overall performance. The LA208 Array has built in proprietary hardware for simple, fast and safe rigging. The enclosure has been made with the latest techniques assuring a perfect and rigid construction. Weatherized finish is provided, as the cabinet is covered with rugged Durawound texture finish and protected with epoxy powder coating grills. The system can be supplied in active Pcc version or passive one. LA208 PCC is self-powered with two way amplification and controlled with a DSP built inside, (PCC Original or PCC Advanced Series), with ten fully parametric eqs, delay, crossover points, compressors, gain controls, 30 band eq, phase response alignment circuitry, etc. With the mouse of a small laptop, the sound engineer can vary in real time, any of the parameters on each of the speakers. After starting TECNARE software, the system will identify the speakers connected to the net, showing them in the network window of the program. You only have to choose the speaker to be managed, and six different windows will be available for the sound engineer to control everything. The program allows the storage of as much presets as desired, which can be loaded any time, four of them without using the software, but only clicking on the rear panel. With this way of operation, sound systems become far more flexible. A lot of patching can be avoided, reducing rack controls drastically. At the same time, equalization, crossovering, limiting, delay of each box no longer have to be the same, without the hieroglyphic without the hieroglyphic needed to do that in a conventional way for a complex installation. The system incorporates as standard a very powerful audio analyzer. The sound engineer can check the system’s response, on spectrum or transfer mode, while modifying any of the various audio controls available on the system. It also incorporates a set-up screen, with an audio generator, markers for a delay measurement, and vu-meters. Impulse response, phase response and polar plot analysis are also available.
