EVENT 28A
This system integrates two 8″ neodymium transducers and a single M-60 compression driver into a robust yet lightweight polymer cabinet. The 8″ transducers, enhanced with neodymium magnets for reduced weight, ensure efficient sound projection and superior low-frequency response. The symmetric “V” shaped configuration of the cone transducers delivers consistent 100º horizontal coverage down to 200 Hz. The M-60 compression driver remains coupled to an advanced waveguide design, which controls the vertical dispersion and ensures precise coupling between units in vertical arrays.
Powered by a two-channel Class D amplifier, the EVENT-28A boasts 1300 Wpeak power. The amplifier’s rear panel is equipped with high-quality Neutrik® XLR and powerCON connectors. Using the DAScontrol™ interface, users can quickly select presets based on the number of units in the array. The onboard DSP utilizes a 24-bit high-end processor to manage crossover, EQ, delay, and limiter functions. Incorporating FIR filtering technology, the EVENT-28A maintains constant phase response, leading to transparent sound and exceptional clarity that enhances the overall listening experience.
Installation and deployment of EVENT-28A arrays are streamlined with the innovative Fast Set Splay (FSS™) rigging system, which allows for quick angle selection while stacked on dollies. The stainless-steel rigging hardware supports flown arrays of up to 16 units, adjustable in 1º increments from 0º to 10º.
The EVENT-28A pairs seamlessly with the flyable companion subwoofer, the EVENT-118A, ensuring robust low-frequency reinforcement. Weighing 20 kg, the EVENT-28A strikes an excellent balance between size, performance, and portability, making it an ideal solution for a wide array of sound reinforcement applications.
