The P9 line array module features a dipolar arrangement with two 8” neodymium transducers and a high precision 1.4” HF compression driver mounted onto a waveguide with 90° x 12° dispersion.
Both 8” transducers feature an extremely stiff UPM (Ultra Precision Membrane) carbon membrane design, which raises the particial oscillation to an inaccessible frequency range and reduces distortion to a minimum. The superior membrane damping is increased to a maximum, while natural oscillation is lowered to a smallest value. The UPM design further enables for increased speaker power capability of 500 W (RMS) for each single transducer. The P9 loudspeaker cabinet includes a passive 2-way crossover, which ensures for high efficiency in system cabling and amplifier configurations. The advanced bass-reflex ports eliminate side lobes, which usually occur with 2-way line array systems. The ground-breaking ECD design (Extended Coverage Design) ensures for a very precise mid-range coverage. The V-arrangement of the two 8” transducers and the two additional outlets at the sides extend the horizontal dispersion of 90° at the typically critical frequency range between 700 Hz and 1.100 Hz. The vertical coverage of 12° allows for a basic system setup with four cabinets only. The acoustical and mechanical design enables vertical arrays of up to twentyfour P9 modules. The verticals splay angles are adjustable from 0° to 12° in steps of 1.5°. The cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and is covered with weather and impact protecting NPP (Nova Polyurea Protection) finish. The front of the loudspeaker is protected by a robust metal front grill with acoustically transparent foam. Each side includes one handle while two additional handles are included at the rear. The integrated three-point rigging hardware is recessed into the cabinet enclosure. The SLS (Splay Lock System) rigging technology makes splay adjustment to a walkover in two steps only, configuration and locking.
The P9 loudspeaker can be used for a wide range of applications, such as for stadiums, theatres, dance clubs, festivals, corporate events and churches.
NOVA SLS Rigging Technology (Splay Lock System)
Rigging as easy as it could be. Open the touring cart, pre-select each splay angle, lift the array and lock the rigging system.
ECD (Extended Coverage Design)
Two additional outlets at the sides extend the horizontal dispersion of 90° and ensure for a very precise mid-range coverage.
