INTRODUCTION
The AX2065AV2 Vercal Line Array element is designed for a wide range of sound reinforcement applicaons where a exible
and easy to use vercal array systems is needed. The AX2065AV2 has been designed both for rental live sound applicaons and
for xed installaons and has been engineered for the simplest use possible but without sacricing anything in sound quality and
performance.
The high frequency range is reproduced by a low-distoron compression driver, equipped with very light-weight Titanium
diaphragms and a special new suspension design for very natural sound. A transmission line wave-forming waveguide has been
used to load the HF driver, in order to provide a detailed and natural sound and to achieve a long-distance HF projecng capacity.
The two 6.5” woofers are back loaded by a short hybrid transmission line that minimizes the eect of the box resonances and
eliminates the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly obtained from regular bassreex enclosures.
The AX2065AV2 is processed by 40 bit oang point CORE2 DSP and powered by a high eciency CLASS D amplier module with a
newly designed power supply equipped with PFC, which reduces the power consumpon while enhancing reliability and consistency
in all operang condions. The high eciency of the output stage improves overall performance delivering prisne power and clean
output signal to each AX2065AV2 that is capable to power an addional passive AX2065P module through the available power
output on the back panel. This feature will allows to assemble very compeve hybrid soluons both for rental and installaon
applicaons.

AX2065AV2 loudspeakers.
FUSE HOLDER
Here is where the mains protecon fuse is placed.
WARNINGS:
• REPLACE THE PROTECTION FUSE ONLY WITH THE SAME
TYPE: BUSSMANN MDA-15-R OR LITTELFUSE 326015.VX
• In the case of product failure or fuse replacement,
disconnect the unit completely from the mains power.
• Use a suitable power cable and mains plug to build the power cable, it must only be connected to a socket
corresponding to the specicaons indicated on the amplier unit. See assembly instrucon downloadable from
NEUTRIK WEB site at: hp://www.neutrik.com/
• 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.
• Connect no more units to the MAINS OUT connector than as specied above.
• Turn on each unit one a me starng from the latest unit.

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 AX network the last device must be always terminated (with an inner load resistance): press this switch if you want to
terminate the network on this unit.
Only the last devices connected to the PRONET AX network must be always terminated, therefore all units connected
between two devices within the network must not be terminated never.
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 AX remote control operaon. Each loudspeaker
must have a unique ID to be visible in the PRONET AX 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
SINGLE BOX
This PRESET, which features a much smoother high frequency 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 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
AX soware and save the PRESET into USER MEMORY no. 1.

PRESET USING EXAMPLE: STANDARD INSTALLATION
In the following gure you can see how to set up a standard audio system using the
minimal conguraon consisng of 2 AX2065 box and a sub.
In this case some oponal accessories are required: 1x KPAX265, 1x KP10, 1x DHSS10M20
for each system.
Each AX2065AV2 box preset must be set as DOWN FILL/SINGLE BOX.
PRESET USING EXAMPLE: INSTALLATION IN A THEATRE WITH BALCONY
In the following gure you can see an example of the use of dierent PRESETS in an
AX2065AV2 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

• 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 the 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.
PRONET AX - OPERATION
The AXIOM acve loudspeaker devices can be connected in a network and controlled by the PRONET AX soware.
PRONET AX 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 AX you can visualize signal levels, monitor internal status and edit
all the parameters of each connected device.
Download the PRONET AX app registering on MY AXIOM at the website at hps://www.axiomproaudio.com/.
For the network connecon the USB2CAND (with 2-port) converter oponal accessory is needed.
PRONET AX network is based on a “bus-topology” connecon, where the rst device is connected to the input connector of the
second device, the second device network output is connected to the network input connector of the third device, and so on. To
ensure a reliable communicaon the rst and the last device of the “bus-topology” connecon must be terminated. This can be done
by pressing the “TERMINATE” switch near the network connectors in the rear panel of the rst and the last device. 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 AX
network these are completely dierent and must be fully separated also both use the same kind of cable).

Assign the ID number
To work properly in a PRONET AX network each connected device must have a unique idener number, called ID. By default the
USB2CAND 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.
In order to correctly assign a new available ID to each device for working properly in a PRONET AX network, follow these instrucons:
1. Switch o all the devices.
2. Connect them correctly to the network cables.
3. “TERMINATE” the end 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.
With the network 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 AX see the PRONET AX USER’S MANUAL included with the soware.
PREDICTION SOFTWARE: 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. 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.
Download the EASE Focus 3 app from the AXIOM website at hps://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads
secon of the product.
Use the menu opon Edit / Import System Denion File to import the GLL le, the detailed instrucons to use the program are
located in the menu opon Help / User’s Guide.
Note: Some windows system can require the .NET Framework 4 that can be download from website at hps://focus.afmg.eu/.
BASIC INSTALLING OPERATION
The EASE FOCUS predicon soware is the tool that allows you to evaluate your installaon both to meet the acousc requirements
of the project and also to suspend or stack AX2065 systems, the program allows you to simulate the rigging pinpoint on the y bar
to obtain the calculated splay angle of the enre line array system and of the individual angles between each loudspeaker element.

The following examples shows how to operate correctly to link the loudspeaker box and to suspend or stack the whole system safely
and surely, read these instrucons with extreme aenon:
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 qualied personal
only, for suspending the system qualied rigger personal is mandatory.
• 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 and local distributor 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.
• 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.
Fly bar suspension and angle setup (centre of gravity)
The gure below 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 weight 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.

Pin locking and splay angles set up
The gures below shows how to insert correctly the locking pin, always carefully check that each pin is fully inserted and locked in
the correct posion. Set up the splay angle between loudspeakers inserng the pin in the correct hole, please note that the inner
holes in the hinge top are for even angles (2, 4, 6 etc.) while the outer holes are for the odd angles (1, 3, 5 etc.).

KPTAX2065 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:
• 6 AX2065 acve or passive (ybar from 0° to 10°)
KPTAX2065 can NOT be used for stacked array.
KPTSW215 y bar maximum capacity is 540 Kg (1190
lbs) with the 0° angle. It can support, with a safety
factor of 10:1, up to:
• 8 AX2065AV2 + 8 AX2065P (ybar from 0° to 10°)
• 12 AX2065AV2 (ybar from 0 to 10°)
• 2 SW215AF + 4 AX2065AV2 + 4 AX2065P (ybar
at 0°)
• 2 SW215AF + 8 AX2065AV2 (ybar at 0°)
• 6 SW215AF (ybar from 0° to 5°)
KPTSW215 can be used for stacked array, see further
on this manual.
FLY BAR AND ACCESSORIES
The AX2065 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 KPTSW215 or
KPTAX2065 y bars. The loudspeakers are linked together in a column using a series of couplers integrated in the frame of each
enclosure. Each system will be 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.

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 (2)(3) and 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.
