cARATTERiSTicHE
I sistemi biamplificati DUETTO LIGHT utilizzano un cabinet in polipropilene ad alta densità robusto, leggero e compatto.
La versatilità del design trapezoidale unito ad accessori intelligenti consente di poter installare e collocare il vostro sistema
in tutta sicurezza. Il peso contenuto e le maniglie integrate nel cabinet permettono un comodo trasporto, mentre la griglia
frontale in metallo evita il danneggiamento accidentale del woofer.
L’elettronica incorpora un amplificatore in classe D e un preamplificatore analogico progettato su misura atto a riprodurre una
timbrica brillante e calda. Per aumentare la versatilità dei sistemi DUETTO LIGHT, abbiamo aggiunto ingressi microfonici e
di linea per sorgenti mono e stereo, come strumenti musicali o apparecchi hi-fi. Per migliorare la risposta in frequenza delle
vostre DUETTO LIGHT in qualsiasi ambiente e per qualsiasi genere musicale abbiamo inserito un EQ a due bande, che
consente di enfatizzare/attenuare frequenze basse ed alte.
- Ingresso microfonico bilanciato COMBO.
- Ingresso di linea mono COMBO ed ingresso stereo sbilanciato RCA.
- Uscita link bilanciata XLR.
- Uscita sbilanciata jack da 6,35 mm (1/4 “) per tutti i modelli, ad esclusione della DUETTO LIGHT 8A.
- Livello di ingresso separato per ingressi MIC e LINE.
- Sezione di uscita con livello MAIN ed EQ con controlli HIGH e LOW.
- LED di accensione e CLIP.
- Amplicatori in Classe D con alimentatore switching e crossover attivo.
- Congurazione bass-reex del diffusore per garantire una maggiore efcienza e una risposta più estesa delle frequenze basse.
- Tromba ad ampia dispersione per migliorare la diffusione delle frequenze medio-alte.
- Protezione tramite circuito Limiter e contro surriscaldamento.
- Molteplici possibilità di posizionamento: a terra, impilata, rigging e montaggio su treppiede.
- Maniglie incorporate per trasporto comodo e sicuro.
