were opened between adjacent box edges on the front baffle of the array. A significantly
curved LA12 (LA12C) array can thus be created without gaps on the front baffle of the array.
The LA12 (LA12C) enclosure can be coupled together to create small, medium or
large arrays. The acoustic benefits of the “gapless” array characteristic become more obvious
with increasing of the array size.
1.5 OUTDOOR EXPOSURE
The LA12 (LA12C) is designed for applications that require outdoor exposure to rain,
dust and other environmental conditions. While not a fully “weatherproof” system intended
for prolonged exposure in extreme environments such as seaside or tropical locales, the
system has a number of integral features that resist environmental exposure damage. The front
and speakers protection is assured by acoustically transparent foam and a power coated metal
grille.
As with any premium-grade professional product, care should be taken with each
LA12 (LA12C) system enclosure to prevent excessive amounts of dirt, water or other foreign
substances from penetrating the interior of the box. Systems subjected to extreme
environmental conditions require a more rigorous maintenance program.

The input connector panel is located at the rear of the enclosure. It
contains printed legends on the panel to identify the system
connections. The connector panel has two paralleled Neutrik NL8
connectors. The connector pinouts are marked on the panel.
