Broadening the successful launch of the new A Series of ultra-scalable, medium-throw line source arrays in early 2019, L-Acoustics announces the debut of install-specific versions of the full A Series. The new install range is reported to deliver the same L-Acoustics concert performance as its touring versions, in a discrete, economical design that is accompanied by install-specific rigging accessories for ultimate flexibility.
“The newest member in the powerful family of L-Acoustics technology, A Series has already been warmly welcomed by our partners and especially by rental companies worldwide who are interested in the new A Series rental network charter,” says L-Acoustics Product Manager Germain Simon. “Extending the range to include enclosures and rigging accessories conceived especially for the installation market makes perfect sense. The power and flexibility of the A Series will elevate the standard of integration possibilities.”

A Series offers adjustable coverage options, with the A15i Focus designed for a throw of up to 45 meters, and maximum output of 144 dB. A15i and A10i feature Panflex, reported to adapt to any audience geometry in an approachable package designed for the same sonic signature and power of larger line source systems.
“The accessories, combined with Panflex for adjustable waveguide directivity, give integrators everything needed to design laser-precise sound coverage under any conditions.” Germain Simon, Product Manager, L-Acoustics
A custom range of install accessories provides the necessary tools for installation. A special yoke bracket allows for flying up to two enclosures, and features adjustable depth for increased mounting options. To further facilitate integration, A Series enclosures incorporate standard inserts for additional rigging accessories and include terminal connectors with an additional connector sealing plate to protect from dust and water, achieving a rugged IP55 rating. Its passive design allows for maximum amplifier density.
“The install-specific rigging options of A Series will grant unprecedented flexibility,” Simon notes. “The accessories, combined with Panflex for adjustable waveguide directivity, give integrators everything needed to design laser-precise sound coverage under any conditions.”
A special acoustically transparent fabric cover available in RAL colors provides a flat profile in situations where discretion is required. The cover is also compatible with projection-mapping, allowing A Series to become an integral part of any production décor.

“A Series responds to the needs of any size or type of installation project, from theaters to houses of worship, and live clubs to education facilities,” Simon states. “We expect A Series to be especially interesting for distributed system requirements in stadia and arena.”
