BASSO24t-A
Dual-12” High Performance Band-Pass Active Subwoofer QuickStart Guide
BASSO Series models allow the user to choose the most adequate
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.
BASSO24t-A is dual 12˝ band-pass subwoofer that integrates a Class-D 3
kW and 24-bit DSP power module. The very shallow form-factor and an
excellent power-density that make this loudspeaker a versatile tool for
any small, unobtrusive installed sound reinforcement and portable FOH
applications to more powerful, medium-sized congurations for Touring
and Rental companies and theatre and club installations.
This powerful multipurpose subwoofer delivers a linear audio signal that
naturally couples into any 2-way system like EXO12-A and EXO15-A and
EVO Series line-array systems.
For seamless integration in own and stacked systems see the rigged
model F600, that includes the rigging structure RS-BASSO-S, compatible
with EVO and VOA Line-Array systems.
