INTRODUCTION
The AX800A has been developed with total opmizaon of the speaker components in mind – from the lightweight woofer cone materials through
to the tanium diaphragm used in the high frequency compression driver. They’ve been developed in close cooperaon with our supply partners,
who act in many ways as an extension of our R&D acouscs team.
Housing two eight-inch low frequency drivers, which are transmission line back-loaded for a signicant reducon
in low range frequencies at the rear of the speaker, the AX800A delivers natural cardioid behaviour and therefore
clean mid-bass reproducon. This is especially important in prevenng the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly
obtained from regular bass-reex enclosures, or the build up of excessive low-mid frequencies behind an array and
on stage that can be annoying for performers.
Compleng the driver complement is a 1.4-inch tanium
diaphragm compression driver loaded by an acoustic
transmission line waveguide providing natural sounding
high frequencies. The components are arranged in a very
compact WTW driver conguraon, which lends itself
to correct line array behaviour, providing wide and even
horizontal coverage of any venue or audience space.
The AX800A is processed by 40bit, 96kHz oang point CORE DSP and powered by DA
SERIES class D amplier modules, with audio quality that is comparable to some of the
best analogue Class A-B designs. The output power is opmized specically to the drive
units, sharing 900 was between both woofers and delivering 300 was to the high
frequency band.

I/O AND CONTROL OPERATIONS
MAINS IN - Powercon® NAC3FCA power input
connector (blue). To switch the amplier on, insert
the Powercon® connector and turn it clockwise
into the ON posion. To switch the amplier o,
pull back the switch on the connector and turn it
counter-clockwise into the POWER OFF posion.
MAINS 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 5 AX800A
loudspeakers, with 120V~ we suggest to link a
maximum of 3 AX800A loudspeakers.
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 specicaons indicated on the amplier unit. The power supply must be
protected by a suitably rated thermo-magnec 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.
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 connecon from the input connector to link other speakers with same audio signal.
ON - This LED indicates power on status.
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.
GND LIFT - This switch li the ground of the balanced audio inputs from the earth-ground of the amplier
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 own arrays that may range from 4 to 8 boxes or for the
centre region of a bigger own 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
SINGLE BOX response, can be loaded in the boom boxes (usually 1 or 2 boxes)
of a large own 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 PRONET 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 network on this unit.

POWER AMPLIFIERS
Powering the loudspeaker drivers is a well-proven DA series Class D amplier module used in many of the Axiom powered loudspeaker products,
with audio quality that is comparable to some of the best analogue Class A-B designs, but with the benet of lower weight and beer than 90%
eciency. The output power is opmised specically to the drive units, sharing 900 was between both woofers and delivering 200 was to the
high frequency band. The DA series amplier delivers superior denion at all frequencies, and very high dynamic range with low distoron even
at maximum level, so your sound remains clean and dynamic even when loud.
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 oa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 amplier.
PRONET
PRONET soware has been developed in collaboraon with sound engineers and sound designers, in order to oer 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.
Download the PRONET app from the AXIOM website at hp://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads secon of the product.
The AXIOM acve loudspeaker devices can
be connected in a network and controlled
by the PRONET soware. For the network
connection the PROEL USB2CAN or
USB2CAND converter oponal accessory is
needed. The rst me you connect a device
with the USB2CAN converter, Windows O.S.
will ask you to install the driver les, 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 rst device,
the network output of the rst 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 dierent 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er 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 rst 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 o all the devices.
2. Connect them correctly to the network cables.
3. “TERMINATE” the latest device in the network connecon.
4. Switch on the rst 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 rst 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 rst 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-o, because the idener 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 rst me the system is turned on.
For more detailed instrucon about PRONET see the PRONET USER’S MANUAL included with the soware.
Useful tools to set up properly a vercal 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 acousc measurement system
These are useful to measure delays, phase and response of the system.
EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION IN
A THEATRE WITH BALCONY
Here you can see an example of
the use of different PRESETS in
an AX800A own 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.
PRESET USING EXAMPLE
In order to opmize the array performances for this
specic 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 the loss of power level and
high frequencies of the program sent the upper deck
of the theatre.
Load the DOWN FILL / SINGLE BOX preset in the
BOTTOM box in order to smooth the high frequency
content of the program sent to the audience close to
the stage.

PREDICTION: EASE Focus 3
To aim correctly a complete system we suggests to use always the Aiming Soware - EASE
Focus 3:
The EASE Focus 3 Aiming Soware is a 3D Acousc Modelling Soware that serves for the
conguraon and modelling of Line Arrays and convenonal speakers close to reality. It only
considers the direct eld, 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c 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 GLL loudspeaker data le required for its use: AXIOM_AX800A_
v1_0, please note that the version must be 1.0 or more. The GLL
le contains the data that denes the Line Array with regard to its
possible conguraons as well as to its geometrical and acouscal
properes.

AIMING and SUSPENDING INSTRUCTIONS
Fly Bar and accessories
The AX800A systems are built to allow the suspension of
array with variable shape and dimensions. Thanks to a
suspension mechanism designed to be funconal, exible
and safe, each system must be suspended or stacked using
the KPTAX800 or KPTAX800L y 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 xed 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.
KPTAX800 y bar maximum capacity is 200 Kg
(441 lbs) with the 0° angle. It can support, with a
safety factor of 10:1, up to:
• 4 AX800A
• KPTAX800 can NOT be used for stacked
array.
KPTAX800L fly bar maximum capacity
is 680 Kg (1500 lbs) with the 0° angle. It
can support, with a safety factor of 10:1,
up to:
• 12 AX800A
• KPTAX800L can be used for stacked array
for a maximum of 4 AX800A units.
NOTE: The gures illustrate the KPTAX800 and
KPTAX800L usages, these are similar with the
respecve load capacity limitaons.
Follow the sequence in the gure for xing the
y bar at the rst box. Usually this is the rst step
before liing up the system. Be careful to insert
properly all the locking pins (1)(2) and (3)(4) then
the shackle (5) in the right holes as specied by
the aiming soware.
When liing the system always proceed gradually
step by step, paying aenon to secure the y 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.

Fly bar suspension and angle setup (centre of gravity)
The gure at the top of this page 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: x 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 dierence between ideal aiming and real aiming and its value is the
Delta angle: posive delta angle can be adjusted a lile using two ropes, negave
delta 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 own set up you can connect the elements of the array to their cables. We
suggest to discharge the weight of the cables from the ying pinpoint by tying them
with a texle bre 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.

Wind loads
When planning an open-air event it is essenal to obtain current weather and wind informaon. When loudspeaker arrays are own in an open-air
environment, possible wind eects 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
own array.
- Stop the event and make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the array.
- Lower and secure the array.

Stacked System with KPTAX800L.
WARNING!
• The ground where the KPTAX800L 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 AX800A cabinets with the KPTAX800L Fly bar serving as ground support are allowed to be set up as ground stack.
In the stack conguraon you have to use the three oponal BOARDACF01 feet and the y 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 xed 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 3 soware.
