Proel Sound Systems will debut a new series of high-end speaker enclosures and high-performance digital processors at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt.
The Neos AXS enclosures represent Proel Group Research and Development department’s highest achievement in loudspeaker technology.
The R&D department, in fact, took full advantage of the support of Turbosound’s acoustic engineers to optimize the performance of each model.
The evolution of the original Neos Series has been further enhanced with the addition of new remote access and control functions, hence the new name “AXS”.
Designed for a user base that ranges from demanding musicians to rental companies, they are also ideal for permanent installations requiring high quality and remotely controlled functions.
The Series includes 5 full-range and 3 subwoofer enclosures that incorporate the latest Proel Group amplification technologies which can deliver high-quality sound and superior performance in any application.
Each model features a DA C-Audio power module, a new generation of Class D amplifier with switching power supply, capable of delivering outstanding definition and wide dynamic range with low distortion in a compact package.
The on-board electronics are based on the C-Audio Core DSP platform operating at 96 kHz sampling rate and 40 bit floating point bit depth. This processor further optimizes the performance of the system though the use of sophisticated EQ, dynamic and crossover algorithms, while providing network control via the Pronet control software.
Premium transducers with Neodymium magnets, sturdy, plywood cabinets with die-cast aluminum handles, dual-angle pole mount flanges, and multiple flying points round out the features of the series.
The new Proel PC240 and PC260 processors, also based on the C-Audio Core DSP platform, allow audio signal processing capable of optimizing system performance using advanced functions and an intuitive user interface with direct access to all editing functions and remote control.
The incorporated technology exhibits some interesting features, like programmable sound pressure level management (SPLM), thanks to the use of an internal clock, and full remote control of all functions from a connected PC.
PC240 and PC260, both with a full range of functions, each have 2 inputs – with AES digital inputs in the case of the PC260 – and 4 or 6 outputs, respectively. Each input offers a 5-band, fully parametric EQ, 28 bands of graphic EQ, and three bands of powerful and versatile dynamic equalization. Each includes a fully programmable compressor/limiter and up to 600 ms of delay, as well.
The outputs offer any type of crossover filter, up to 48 dB/8va, and a 5-band parametric EQ. The full range of Neos AXS enclosures and PC processors will be premiering at the upcoming edition of Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt and will be available for purchase starting the second half 2011.
