GENZLER AMPLIFICATION is proud to launch our new brand with
the introduction of a uniquely new approach to bass instrument loudspeaker
design, the Bass Array 12-3.
Although the same size as many premium 12” and tweeter
cabinets this new design is so much more complex and rewarding to the
performer. This innovative design blends the benefits of a 12” vented
bass reflex design with the performance and pattern control of a 4 x 3”
neodymium driver line array element. The
benefits of combining both design platforms in an extremely compact cabinet are
exponential for the player:
Full, deep, low frequency response from the high efficiency
12” ported woofer — doing what it does best.
Excellent support of the low B fundamental of 5 string instruments. A selective crossover point overcomes the “beaming” (pattern
narrowing) effects of a full range signal being reproduced by larger low
frequency drivers.
Lowers midrange and high frequency distortion by allowing
the use of small, high performance cone transducers that would otherwise be
unsuitable without the increased acoustic sensitivity obtained by the array
design. This design provides a more open, smoother midrange and high
frequency response because of the ideal natural characteristics of the mid-high
frequency array when compared to a conventional tweeter that cannot reproduce
the crucial midrange frequencies without pattern control or un-natural
distortion.
What this means in the context of performance is the most
focused, defined, musical, smooth and seamless response possible throughout the
BA12-3’s entire full-range bandwidth.
Additionally the placement of the Line Array in front of the 12” woofer
further provides a type of “single point source” projection—think of it as
concentric speakers, one inside of the other, in the same linear plane. Also due to line array principals the
all-important mid and high frequencies have a much wider horizontal dispersion
with a more controlled vertical pattern.
This offers the most even projection possible around the perimeter of
the stage and audience.
