The large format AERO-50 is the evolution of the highly successful AERO-48. This externally powered, high efficiency line array module integrates low, mid and high frequency transducers in a single unit. Designed for use in large scale events in stadiums and arenas, the AERO-50 offers a number of important improvements in terms of performance and weight reduction.
The low frequency reproduction is handled by two new 15GNR loudspeakers in a bass reflex configuration. The 15GNR speaker incorporates a 100 mm (4») edge wound flat wire (EFW) voice coil and lightweight neodymium magnet assembly maximizing the dynamic response for a deep, precise bass. Four purpose built 8MN, 8» cone transducers incorporating neodymium magnetic assemblies and 62 mm (2.5») voice coils are used for mid frequency reproduction.
High frequency reproduction is handled by two M-75N compression drivers designed for use in high level applications where abundant SPL and low distortion are mandatory. A pure titanium diaphragm featuring 75 mm (3») copper clad aluminum EFW voice coil yields high sensitivity, low distortion and extended frequency response.
The rugged, trapezoidal enclosure is built using Birch plywood and covered with a durable paint finish. The captive rigging system splay angles range from 0º to 9.6º and can be adjusted in 0.8º increments from 0º to 3.2º and 1.6º increments from 3.2º to 9.6 º allowing a wide range of column curvatures to be accomplished.
