LA Series The key to sound LA 10v2 Line source system ■ Three way line source system ■ Two 10 inch bass driver One 8 inch midrange driver Two compression neodymium planar wave driver ■ SHMTM collinear arrangement ■ 60° horizontal coverage and 0° to 10° vertical coverage ■ Dispersion controlled from 250 Hz ■ Designed for high performance fixed installation and touring ■ OEM factory presets for approved digital processors Technology Applications Lotusline LA series are based on the latest electro acoustics developments and include SHMTM and SICTM proprietary technology. Lotusline LA10V2 are line array modules designed for variable curvature vertical tangent array, able build long throw line sources. SHMTM(Single Horn loaded Midrange) improve dramatically midrange bandwidth and efficiency by avoiding multiple components dispersion and using collinear mid and hi frequency horns layout. First line array uses mid drivers on plane baffle. Small improvements in efficiency have been made by using compression load midrange directly in the front common waveguide, but creating irregularities in frequency response, and dispersion in characteristics due to the multiplication of components. Actually, coaxial midrange equipped with rear standard HF driver is used in common acoustic chamber imposing a long path to high frequency waves. Lotusline Line Array uses the shortest possible design by positioning the toroidal HF drivers in front of the midrange driver. SHMTM technology reduces the total harmonic distortion both in high frequencies by minimizing the length of waveguides and in low mid by increasing the radiating surface of the driver. Lotusline Line Array are high efficiency systems, thanks to the entirely horn loaded design, and the use of the best modern European custom build transducers. Combined with the true line source design of Lotusline Line Array, high sound pressure levels can be obtained in long far field with the best tonal balance on the whole system coverage. The 60° horizontal coverage and 0° to 10° vertical coverage offer the sound designer the best versatility for any precisely designed installation. Lotusline LA10V2 are completely compatible with Lotusline subwoofers series and can be stacked directly on anyone. The new Lotusline LA series three points hanging compression mechanism also reduces needed floor surface and saves installation time due to the straight vertical array configuration used during setup. The final curvature is quickly and easily obtained when the system is on its working position. By releasing the compression on the rear point, Lotusline Line Array returns to the straight vertical position in a few seconds and is ready for a fast disassembly. Due to its exceptional sound quality, its power capacity, and its fast and easy rigging, Lotusline Line Array series are intended for daily use in touring companies, as well as for permanent installation in theatres, congress centres or arenas.
