INTRODUCTION
The AX2010A Vercal Line Array element is designed for a wide range of sound reinforcement applicaons where a flexible and easy to use vercal
array systems is needed. The AX2010A has been designed both for rental live sound applicaons and for fixed installaons and has been engineered
for the simplest use possible but without sacrificing anything in sound
quality and performance.
The high frequency range is reproduced by two low-distortion
compression drivers, equipped with very light-weight diaphragms. Two
transmission line waveforming waveguides have been used to load
the HF drivers, in order to provide a detailed and natural sound and to
achieve a long-distance HF projecng capacity.
The two 10” woofers employed in the reproducon of the mid-bass
range are equipped with very light-weight cones. The lightness of the
diaphragm is furthermore improved by the use of aluminium voice
coil instead of convenonal copper. This ensure a fast reproducon of
the mid range and of mid-bass musical passages, improving also the thermal capacity of the voice
coil and, consequently, controlling the overall power compression. The two 10” woofers are back
loaded by a short hybrid transmission line that minimizes the effect of the box resonances and eliminates the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly
obtained from regular bassreflex enclosures. The crossover filter approach is based on a “Constant Power” technique. Thanks to a parcular phase
combinaon between the two ways around the crossover frequency, this approach is able to provide a very stable horizontal coverage and a very
stable off-axys sound image, also minimizing unwanted effects around the crossover frequency. The further applicaon of phase linearizaon
techniques, combined to constant power crossover, yield a linear phase response and a coherent me response. This allows for a natural percepon
of acousc instruments and voices and for an improved depth of the sound image.

POWER PANEL
MAINS IN - Powercon® NAC3FCA power input connector (blue). To switch the
amplifier on, insert the Powercon® connector and turn it clockwise into the ON
posion. To switch the amplifier off, pull back the switch on the connector and
turn it counter-clockwise into the POWER OFF posion.
WARNING! In the case of product failure or fuse replacement, disconnect
the unit completely from the mains power. The power cable must only be
connected to a socket corresponding to the specificaƟons indicated on the
amplifier unit. The power supply must be protected by a suitably rated
thermo-magneƟc breaker. Preferably use a suitable switch to power on
the whole audio system leaving the Powercon® always connected to each
speaker, this simple trick extend the life of the Powercon® connectors.
POWER OUT - Powercon® NAC3FCB power output connector (grey). This is connected in parallel with the MAINS ~ / IN. The maximum load
applicable depends on the mains voltage. With 230V~ we suggest to link a maximum of 4 AX2010A loudspeakers, with 120V~ we suggest to link
a maximum of 2 AX2010A loudspeaker.
CONTROL PANEL
ON - This LED indicates power on
status.
PROT - This red LED lights when
the amplifier module is in protect
mode for an internal fault and,
consequently, the amplifier is
muted.
SIGN LIMIT - This LED lights in
green to indicate the presence of
the signal and lights in red when
an internal limiter reduces the
input level.
INPUT - Audio signal input with
locking XLR connector. It has a
fully electronically balanced
circuitry including AD conversion
for the best S/N rao and input
headroom.
LINK - A direct connection from
the input connector to link other
speakers with same audio signal.
GND LIFT - This switch lift the
ground of the balanced audio
inputs from the earth-ground of
the amplifier module.
PRESET BUTTON - This buon has two funcon:
1) Pressing it while powering on the unit:
ID ASSIGN the internal DSP assigns a new ID to the unit for the PRONET remote control operaon. Each loudspeaker must have a unique
ID to be visible in the PRONET network. When you assign a new ID, all the other loudspeakers with the ID already assigned
must be ON and connected to the network.
2) Pressing it with the unit ON you can select the DSP PRESET. The selected PRESET is indicated by the corresponding LED:
STANDARD This PRESET is suitable for vercal flown arrays that may range from 4 to 8 boxes or for the centre region of a bigger flown array.
It can be used also for stacked arrays.
LONG THROW This PRESET can be used in arrays bigger than 6 or 8 boxes and loaded in the top 1 or 2 boxes in order to obtain a more even
distribuon of the sound pressure, especially if they point very far away or to the upper deck of a large theatre.
DOWN FILL / This PRESET, which features a much smoother high frequency response, can be loaded in the boom boxes (usually 1 or 2
SINGLE BOX boxes) of a large flown array, in order to reach conveniently the audience close to the stage. This preset could be very useful
also when the box is used just on its own as a Front Fill element in the front of very large stages.
USER This LED lights when the USER PRESET is loaded. This preset corresponds to USER MEMORY no. 1 of the DSP and, as a factory
seng, it’s the same to STANDARD. If you want to modify it, you have to connect the unit to a PC, edit the parameters with
PRONET soware and save the PRESET into USER MEMORY no. 1.
Note: see also the example further on this manual.
NETWORK IN/OUT - These are a standard RJ45 CAT5 connectors (with oponal NEUTRIK NE8MC RJ45 cable connector carrier), used for PRONET
network transmission of remote control data over long distance or mulple unit applicaons.
TERMINATE - In a PRONET network the last loudspeaker device must be terminated (with an inner load resistance) especially in a long run cabling:
press this switch if you want to terminate the unit.

AIMING and SUSPENDING INSTRUCTIONS
PREDICTION: EASE Focus 1
To aim correctly a complete system PROEL suggests to use always the Aiming
Soware - EASE Focus 1:
The EASE Focus 1 Aiming SoŌware is a two-dimensional, acousc simulaon
soware that serves for the configuraon and modelling of Line Arrays close to
reality. It only considers the direct field, created by the complex addion of the sound contribuons of the individual loudspeakers or array
components.
The design of EASE Focus is targeted at the end user. It allows the easy and quick predicon of the array performance in a given venue. The scienfic
base of EASE Focus stems from EASE, the professional electro- and room acousc simulaon soware developed by AFMG Technologies GmbH. It
is based on the EASE Focus 1 system definion files (Proel_AXIOM_AX2010P.EFO) required for its use. The EFO file contains the data that defines
the Line Array with regard to its possible configuraons as well as to its geometrical and acouscal properes. For detailed explanaon of how to
use the soware and how to obtain a correct aiming refer to EASE Focus documentaon and other on-line manuals (hp://focus.afmg.eu/index.
php/Focus_1.html).
WARNING! CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONDITION OF USE:
• This loudspeaker is designed exclusively for Professional audio applicaons. The product must be installed by qualified personal only.
• Proel strongly recommends that this loudspeaker cabinet be suspended taking into consideraon all current Naonal, Federal, State and
Local regulaons. Please contact the manufacturer for further informaon.
• Proel do not accept any liability for damage caused to third pares due to improper installaon, lack of maintenance, tampering or
improper use of this product, including disregard of acceptable and applicable safety standards.
• During assembly pay aenon to the possible risk of crushing. Wear suitable protecve clothing. Observe all instrucons given on the
rigging components and the loudspeaker cabinets. When chain hoists are in operaon ensure that there is nobody directly underneath or
in the vicinity of the load. Do not under any circumstances climb on the array.
KPTAX2012P Fly Bar and accessories
The AX2010 Systems are built to allow the suspension of array with variable shape and dimensions. Thanks to a suspension mechanism designed
to be funconal, flexible and safe, each system must be suspended or stacked using the KPTAX2012P fly bar. The loudspeakers are linked together
in a column using a series of couplers integrated in the frame of each enclosure. Each system is set up properly both acouscally and mechanically
only using the aiming soware.
Coupling system in the front does not require any adjustment: using two locking pins, each loudspeaker box is fixed to the previous. The sloed
bar in the back is inserted in a U-shaped frame which features a series of numbered holes. Sliding the sloed bar in the U-shaped frame of the
next loudspeaker and inserng a locking pin in one of the numbered holes, it is possible to adjust the relave splay angle between two adjacent
loudspeakers in the array column.
KPTAX2012P fly bar maximum capacity is 700 Kg (1540 lbs) with the 0° angle. It can support up to 12 AX2010 loudspeakers with a safety factor
of 7:1.
Follow the sequence in the figure for fixing the fly bar at the first box. Usually
this is the first step before liing up the system. Be careful to insert properly
all the locking pins (2)(3) and the shackle (5) in the right holes as specified by
the aiming soware.
When lifting the system always proceed gradually step by step, paying
aenon to secure the fly bar to the box (and the box to the other boxes)
before pulling up the system: this makes easier to insert properly the locking pins. Also when the system is released down, unlock gradually the
pins.
During the liing be very careful to not let the cables enter the space between one enclosure and the other, as their compression could cut
them.

KPTAX2012P FLY BAR AND ACCESSORIES

Fly bar suspension and angle setup (centre of gravity)
The first figure shows where the normal centre of gravity is with one box or several boxes arranged in a line. Usually the boxes are arranged to
make an arc for the best coverage of the audience, so the center of gravity moves backward. The aiming soware suggests the ideal suspension
pinpoint taking into account this behaviour: fix the straight shackle in this posion.
Note that the ideal aiming angle oen doesn’t correspond to the pinpoint: there
is oen a lile difference between ideal aiming and real aiming and its value is
the remaining angle: posive remaining angle can be adjusted a lile using two
ropes, negave remaining angle are self adjusted a lile because the cables
weighs on the back of the array. With some experience it’s possible to consider
prevenvely these required lile adjustments.
During the flown set up you can connect the elements of the array to their cables.
We suggest to discharge the weight of the cables from the flying pinpoint by tying them with a texle fibre rope, instead of leng them hang
freely: in this way the posion of the array will be much more similar to the simulaon produced by the soware.
Pin locking and splay angles set up
The figure below shows how to insert correctly the locking pin and how to set up the splay angle between loudspeakers.
Wind loads
When planning an open-air event it is essenal to obtain current weather and wind informaon. When loudspeaker arrays are flown in an open-air
environment, possible wind effects must be taken into account. Wind load produces addional dynamic forces acng on the rigging components
and the suspension, which may lead to a dangerous situaon. If according to the forecast wind forces higher than 5 b(29-38 Km/h) are possible,
the following acons have to be taken:
- The actual on-site wind speed has to be monitored permanently. Be aware that wind speed typically increases with height above ground.
- Suspension and securing points of the array should be designed to support double the stac load in order to withstand any addional dynamic
forces.
WARNING!
Flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces higher than 6 b(39-49 Km/h) is not recommended. If the wind force exceeds 7 b(50-61
Km/h) there is a risk of mechanical damage to the components which may lead to a dangerous situaon for persons in the vicinity of the
flown array.
- Stop the event and make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the array.
- Lower and secure the array.

WARNING!
• The ground where the KPTAX2012P Fly bar serving as ground support is
placed needs to be absolutely stable and compact.
• Adjust the feet so to lie the bar perfectly horizontal.
• Always secure ground stacked setups against movement and possible
pping over.
• A maximum of 4 x AX2010 cabinets with the KPTAX2012P Fly bar serving
as ground support are allowed to be set up as ground stack.
In the stack configuraon you have to use the three oponal BOARDAC2P feet and
the fly bar must be mounted upside down on the ground.
Coupling system in the front do not require any adjustment: using two locking pins
each loudspeaker box is fixed to the previous. The sloed bar in the back is inserted
in a U-shaped frame which features a series of numbered holes. Sliding the sloed
bar in the U-shaped frame of the next loudspeaker and inserng a locking pin in
one of the numbered holes, it is possible to adjust the relave splay angle between
two adjacent loudspeakers in the array column.
The opmal splay angles can be simulated using the EASE Focus 1 soware.
POWER AMPLIFIERS
The AX2010A is powered by DA SERIES digital power modules, a new generaon of CLASS D power amplifier with digitally-controlled SMPS.
The innovave technology used for these amplifiers (including also the use of a variable switching frequency) offers performances at the top of
the range, such as a superior sound definion at any audio frequency, very high dynamics also for low level signals and very low distoron even at
the maximum power The superior sound quality can be compared with top-of-the-range AB-class analog systems, while the DA modules feature
a higher dynamics, very compact size and light weight and efficiency above 90%. The DA module employed for powering the AX2010A deliver in
an ultra-compact package a maximum power of 2000W.
SIGNAL PROCESSING
The system processing is based on the CORE DSP plaorm, which has been designed by the PROEL R&D Laboratories using one of the most
advanced SHARC DSP for audio applicaon. It features 40bit, 96kHz floang point resoluon and high quality 24bit AD/DA converters, for a perfect
signal integrity, a dynamic range in excess of 110dB and a superior sonic performance. Thanks to its massive processing power, the CORE plaorm
is capable of providing the most sophiscated algorithms for speaker processing, together with remote control and networking capability.
The PRONET control soware, working on a solid and reliable CANBUS based network protocol, provides an intuive interface for the remote
control of the whole system, with the possibility of eqing, delaying, increasing the protecons and monitoring the status of the amplifier.
PRONET Network
PRONET soware has been developed in collaboraon with sound engineers and sound designers, in order to offer an “easy-to-use” tool to setup
and manage your audio system. With PRONET you can visualize signal levels, monitor internal status and edit all the parameters of each connected
device.
You can ownload the PRONET soware from the PROEL website at hp://www.proel.com (click on the link in the AX2010A product page).
The AXIOM acve loudspeaker devices can be connected in a network and controlled by the PRONET soware. For the network connecon the
PROEL USB2CAN converter oponal accessory is needed. The first me you connect a device with the USB2CAN converter, Windows O.S. will ask you
to install the driver files, which you can find in the Driver folder within the Pronet applicaon folder (by default is C:\Program Files\Proel\Pronet\
Driver, or if you changed it <your path>\Driver). Please refer also to “Installaon” and “Drivers” paragraphs in the Pronet documentaon.
The PRONET NETWORK is based on a robust, reliable and fast communicaon protocol called CANBUS. The devices in a PRONET NETWORK are
connected together with a “linear bus topology”. The USB2CAN converter must be connected to the network input of the first device, the network
output of the first device is connected to the input of the second and so on. For the network connecons simple RJ45 cat.5 or cat.6 ethernet
cables can be used (please don’t confuse a ethernet network with a PRONET network these are completely different and must be fully separated
also both use the same kind of cable).
The beginning and the end of a PRONET NETWORK must be terminated. One side is terminated by the USB2CAN converter, the other side must
be terminated pressing the TERMINATE switch on the last device. All devices between these two points must have the TERMINATE switch lied.
Assign the ID number
To work properly in a PRONET network each connected device must have a unique idenfier number, called ID. By default the USB2CAN PC
controller has ID=0 and there can be only one PC controller. Every other device connected must have its own unique ID equal or greater than 1:
in the network cannot exist two devices with the same ID.
An ID number is assigned automacally to each devices when they are turned on for the first me connected to a network.
In order to correctly assign a new available ID to each device for working properly in a Pronet network, follow these instrucons:
1. Switch offall the devices.
KPTAX2012P STACKED ARRAY
CENTER OF GRAVITY
max splay angle 5°
max splay angle 10°
max splay angle 10°
max splay angle 10°

2. Connect them correctly to the network cables.
3. “TERMINATE” the latest device in the network connecon.
4. Switch on the first device keep pressed “PRESET” buon on the control panel.
5. Leaving the previous device switched on, repeat the previous operaon on the next device, unl the latest device is turned on.
The “Assign ID” procedure for a device makes the internal network controller to perform two operaons: reset the current ID; search the first free
ID in the network, starng from ID=1. If no other devices are connected (and powered on), the controller assume ID=1, that is the first free ID,
otherwise it searches the next one lefree.
These operaons ensure that every device has it’s own unique ID, if you need to add a new device to the network you simply repeat the operaon
of step 4. Every device maintains its ID also when it is turned-off, because the idenfier is stored in the internal memory and it is cleared only by
another “Assign ID” step, as explained above. This means that if your network is made always of the same devices the assigning ID procedure must
be executed only the first me the system is turned on.
For more detailed instrucƟon about PRONET see the PRONET USER’S MANUAL included with the soŌware.
Useful tools to set up properly a verƟcal array system
This is a list of tools that can be very useful to set properly a vercal array system.
CABLE TESTER
It is a good pracce to check all cables before each installaon, because even one faulty cable can compromise heavily the
system performance.
INCLINOMETER WITH LEVER
This tool can be used to verify the vercal array angle. It can be used at the top or at the boom of the array In this
case you have to sum all splay angles, so the maximum precision is needed for aiming the vercal array, parcularly
for long throw applicaons.
LASER DISTANCE METER
This instrument can be useful to measure the height of the vercal array and to know the distance between FOH-Subs and FOH-Array
for seng the delay me.
SMAART or similar acousƟc measurement system
These are useful to measure delays, phase and response of the system.

EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION IN A THEATRE WITH BALCONY
Here below you can see an example of the use of different PRESETS in an AX2010 flown array installed in a big theatre with balcony. The TOP BOXES
of the array are aiming at the balcony while the DOWN FILL box is aiming at the audience close to the stage.
TOP BOXES: the power level at the end of the balcony is lower,
as well as the high frequency level.
DOWN FILL BOXES: the power level in the proximity of the
stage is higher, as well as the high frequency level.
In order to opmize the array performances for this specific applicaon, the
PRESETS should be used in the following way.
Load the STANDARD preset in the central boxes.
Load the LONG THROW preset in the TOP 1 or 2 boxes, in order to compensate
