PANARAY®MA12 & MA12EX
Modular Line Array Loudspeaker Family
Panaray®MA12 Modular Line Array Loudspeaker
The Panaray MA12 modular line array loudspeaker is designed for acoustically demanding indoor spaces where speech intelligibility is critical and
speech reproduction is the main requirement. To deliver full-range music performance, bass augmentation is required. Twelve 2.25" (57mm)
mid/high-frequency drivers mounted in a vertical line array deliver 145º of horizontal dispersion and narrow vertical pattern control. The MA12
loudspeaker delivers 300 watts of power handling and can be mounted in single or multiple loudspeaker configurations. This loudspeaker is
well-suited for indoor applications such as houses of worship, auditoriums, transportation hubs, atriums, malls, gymnasiums and multipurpose spaces.

1) Articulated Array®loudspeaker technology produces wide, uniform sound coverage by angling every other driver within the
enclosure to create 160 degrees of horizontal coverage and consistent tonal balance.
2) Frequency Response and Range: Data is the average response in the typical coverage area with the recommended equalization applied.
3) Calculated Max SPL: Calculated based on input sensitivity with recommended equalization applied and maximum input power rating
exclusive of power compression.
4) Input Power Rating: Pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor is bandpass limited to the operating range of the loudspeaker and applied
for 100 hours.
5) Axial Sensitivity: Full-bandwidth pink noise with recommended equalization amplified to a level of 1 watt and applied to the
loudspeaker in an anechoic environment.
6) Vertical coverage varies by number of modules vertically arrayed and distance from line-source boundary. Use Modeler®software
for the best prediction.
7) 150W for full-range music and speech applications. Speech-only applications (155 Hz to 12 kHz), power handling (continuous)
at 300W/1200W.
