Careful acoustic design and advanced materials
have resulted in an exceptional full range, full delity,
self-contained sound system. The ART300A provides
an ideal combination of high power, low distortion
and wide bandwidth for permanent installations.
The two-way design consists of a 12" woofer
that uses a massive magnet structure for accurate
bass reproduction and a CD horn loaded to a 1"
exit compression driver. The CD horn is a part of the
molded enclosure. Two discrete power ampliers
and an electronic crossover are matched to the two
transducers and provide time correction, CD horn
compensation and peak-limiting, as well as over-
excursion and thermal protection.
The ART300A will accept a balanced or unbal-
anced (switch selected) microphone or line input,
adjusted by a single rotary control.
All components are housed in a lightweight,
vented enclosure formed from polypropylene that is
extremely rigid and is weather resistant. The woofer
is protected by a metal grille. All controls and con-
nectors are recessed on the rear. A 1-3/8" stand
socket and M10 threaded inserts are molded into the
cabinet to provide quick and easy installation using
specially designed accessory mounting hardware.
