Avante Audio is launched with the Achromic Series, “...a complete range of active loudspeaker cabinets that offer powerful output, detailed audio clarity, built-in DSP, and sleek exterior designs. Created for musicians, bands, houses of worship, audio production companies and rental houses, the Achromic Series speakers are equally suited to permanent installation as they are to one-off and touring productions,” according to the ADJ company release.The Achromic Series comprises three full-range loudspeaker options, the 10-inch A10, 12-inch A12, and 15-inch A15. All three models feature a bi-amped, high efficiency fan cooled Class A/B switching power amp for the highs, and a Class D power amp for the low end. The release continues, “Each cabinet was carefully designed with components specifically chosen to provide high SPL levels while ensuring smooth coverage across all frequencies in a light weight package ranging from the A10 at 28.7 lbs. up to the A18S at 83.8 lbs.”
Power ranges from 1000 Watts for the A10 to 1200 Watts for the A12/A15. The full-range speakers feature a 35mm pole socket with two position options – zero or a 7.5-degree downward tilt for stand mounting, but can also be flown via the built-in M10 fly points, wall mounted or used as a main or floor monitor.To enhance bass response and extend low frequency coverage, the Achromic Series includes two active DSP controlled sub options with configurable output directivity. The cardioid output option is designed for better focus on low end in a ground stack configuration. The A15S offers a 15-inch woofer with a three-inch voice coil, while the A18S is fitted with an 18-inch woofer with a three-inch voice coil. Both feature an integrated Class D amplifier that provides 1600 Watts.All models in the Achromic Series feature a digital signal processor accessible via an LCD screen on the rear panel of the speaker. The built-in DSP allows custom optimization to configure the speaker as needed: Music Type /Room/ mounting option/EQ/ and System configurations.
