Harmonic Design PL12i 450 W passive PowerLine stick, 12 x 3", 80° x 15° coverage, 6 ohm, wallmount, cable inlet, wall bracket not included

FEATURES

Column speaker with 12 x 3" full-range drivers housed in an elegant, rounded aluminum enclosure. The drivers combine to create a (nearly) cylindrical wavefront with a 15° vertical dispersion, resulting in a constant sound pressure level and almost uniform sound reproduction from the first to the last row.

The long throw (up to 20 m) and 80° horizontal coverage allow for great efficiency with few loudspeakers. This results in more direct sound, provides greater speech intelligibility, and high feedback rejection in acoustically challenging rooms.

The column speakers of the hd PL i series are ideal for restaurants, bars, airports, train stations, home theaters, conference rooms, hotels, A/V installations, multimedia applications, meeting rooms, churches, live music, DJs, concert halls, broadcasting. Just like the hd ML16i, the hd PL12i stands out for its reduced overall height and weight, which facilitate use in venues with low ceilings and allow for easy transport in a car.

Thanks to the increased directivity of the 3" drivers, the 80° horizontal dispersion angle channels sound energy even more, thus allowing for a greater throw. With a larger diaphragm surface area compared to the hd ML16i, the reproduction of music and speech in the hd PL12i in the mid-low range is even more powerful, and a higher sound pressure can be achieved.

In fixed installations, the use of a subwoofer for speech reproduction can be avoided thanks to the system's full-range capability.

To reproduce a sound program from fundamental to harmonics, conventional loudspeakers use two or three different transducer types. This results in inconsistency not only near the crossover frequencies, but also in the important mid-frequency range due to the different decay times and diaphragm masses of the different transducers. Especially in reproduction where the low range is covered by one type of transducer and the high range by another, the sound might be distorted. This is where the 1-way design of the PL i hd series comes in: full-range drivers covering the fundamental to harmonic range, the advantages of a Line Array (cylindrical wave) and the coherence of the sound wave, without "phasing" and group delay: a unique listening experience.

Internal clamping terminals ensure a quick and tool-free connection of the loudspeaker. A high-quality aluminum powder coating and acoustic foam complete the features of the PL i series. For optimal adaptation to the room's architecture, the speaker can be customized in all RAL colors and with special lengths.
