limitations, as well as sound engineer preferences (depending on dierent
the type and size of the event) or audio program characteristics and
regional style taste for subwoofer mixes.

subwoofer for any given situation from within a family of products with
common nish, design solutions and performance philosophy as well as
shared rigging and transport accessories.

steel grille, this medium format medium format cabinet is nished with
IDEA Aquaforce weatherized coating to endure life on the road or stylishly
integrate in any installation.

EXO Series maximizing the high-density performance of these systems
for a wide range of portable, mobile and install professional sound
