TLA308
Line Array Enclosure
1x 8" Bass Driver + 1x 8" Bass/Mid Driver + ISOPHASIC HF Device - 1760 Watts Program
The Acoustic Technologies TLA308 Line Array Loudspeaker System is an innovative 3-way design, featuring two high output 8" Neodymium transducers, one of which is dedicated to the L.F. band. The second transducer handles both L.F. and mid-band information. This arrangement offers superb low frequency performance whilst maintaining a phase coherent output in the mid-band.
The H.F. domain is handled by two 1" exit compression drivers coupled to an Isophasic Diffraction Aperture offering horizontal H.F. dispersions of 60º, 90º and 150º in symmetrical or asymmetrical configurations. Vertical dispersion is determined by the length and curvature of the array.
The proprietary Blackbird Flying Hardware System is an integral part of the design allowing vertical arrays of up to 24 cabinets to be easily suspended. Inter-cabinet angles are adjustable in 1º increments, from 0º to 10º, with the pivot point located at the front baffle to maintain the integrity of the H.F. Aperture.
The flying system is designed so that all parts are captive to the cabinet frame ensuring no parts are lost in transit. The fly-header bar may be inverted for ground stack applications.
The extensively braced cabinet is constructed entirely from premium grade, void free Finnish Birch ply and is fitted with a rugged perforated steel grille to the protect the transducers. The cabinet is finished in black AcoustiCoate elastomer and fitted with dual NL Speakon connectors with loop thru connections for Sub Bass provided.
The TLA308 Blackbird Line Array System is ideal for compact touring systems, outdoor music festivals and sporting events, corporate presentations and a wide range of in-house sound reinforcement applications including houses of worship, theatres and showrooms.
