Fa-12
2-way active/passive speaker
The Fa-12 is a 2-way active/passive speaker for full-range sounds, with a wave guided horn and a coverage H/V 50º/30º.
This acoustic enclosure uses a new range of 12” speakers with ISV technology (interleaved sandwich voice-coil). This
technology admits high pressure levels, thermic stability and durability. The system has also a phase checker which includes
inside a high frequency driver. With this special design we get a zero time between the speaker and the driver. The 1,4”
Neodymium wave guided driver turns the circular wave of the driver output into a rectangular surface, being perfectly
coupled with the wooden rectangular horn.
Made in multilayer birch plywood panelling and black vitrodur painted finish with four handles and 2 mm perforated zinc
coated steel black finished. It includes also two speakon connectors NL4 (only in passive format) to be connected 1+ and
1 - . The enclosure has also two bakelite rollers in the bottom to avoid damages when it is dragged. On the top there are
two scores of the same dimensions to make easier to stack it with another enclosure.
The minimum recommended system is two stacks by side made up of two Fa-12 and two Fa-118.
This system is specially indicated to be used in almost 30 metres distances thanks to the controlled dispersion and its
high ouptput capacity. Is the perfect solution for live shows or night clubs.

Measuring conditions
(1) Frequency response
This is the measured SPL as a function of frequency, from 20 Hz to 24 kHz, referenced to a distance of 1m and to a Nominal 1 W input. Environment: Anechoic
(2) Operating range
The Operating Range is intended to define the useful range of frequencies over which the loudspeaker can be used to reproduce quality sound. Industry experience has
shown that if the output level at the frequency extremes of a loudspeaker is within 10 db of the flat or linear portion of the frequency response, it can be audibly significant
and useful for reproduction.
(3) Nominal Beamwidth
This is calculated included angle between the measured first -6 dB SPL points on each side of the loudspeaker axis, from front to rear, relative to highest SPL point for
each frequency band from 100 Hz to 20 kHz, in the horizontal and vertical planes, referenced to a distance of 3 m. Environment :Anechoic.
(4) Axial sensitivity
Standard audio industry measurement practice is to specify sensitivity as the SPL produced at 1m with an input level of 1 W.
Environment: Anechoic for all. ½ space for subwoofers & stage monitors
(5) Calculated Axial Output Limit
This is called “Output Limit” because it is calculated as the theoretical SPL produced at the limit program power rating.
Calculate Average SPL limit: (10 log. W program + axial sensitivity)
Calculate Peak SPL limit: (average SPL limit + 6 dB)
