DISCLAIMERS
INTENDED USE
The MULTI12 is a multipurpose 12“ two-way self-powered speaker with built-in DSP. The cabinet is made of robust
engineering Polymers which results in a lower weight, and a high power. The MULTI12 has an improved sound quality
due to its high quality European branded speaker components. You can use the MULTI12 as live PA speaker, for DJ
sets, with or without sub, but also as a wedge monitor, DJ monitor and for sound reinforcement in pub’s, clubs, small
theaters, churches and many more. This highly versatile product can be used in many ways.
With a 12” low-frequency woofer and a 1” high-frequency compression driver with a titanium diaphragm, the MUL-
TI12 is a 2-way full-range active speaker that can be deployed in multiple applications. Its characteristics include big
dynamic, high sensitivity, clear MF and HF with a powerful LF.
The MULTI12 design takes care of combining the horn with the cabinet. Due to its rigging points and mounting holes,
the rigging possibilities are endless. Pair your Bluetooth device by only pressing a button and play your favourite
music in an instant. Connect your instrument or microphone by using a jack or XLR input on the back panel of the
speaker. The 2-way XLR/TRS input mode ensures ease of use.
With the all-weather tote that also can used as rain cover, no weather condition is too rough to fulfil the job that has
