Description

The Fulcrum Acoustic DX Series 3-way loudspeakers provide the output and pattern control of two low-frequency transducers in an enclosure size that would typically house a conventional 2-way system. They include a single-neodymium-magnet coaxial transducer and a powerful ceramic magnet low-frequency transducer. The two low-frequency devices both operate down to the lowest frequencies, resulting in a mutual coupling that provides unusually high efficiency and impacts in the critical 80 Hz to 500 Hz range. The dual 8-inch model comes with a 90° x 60° horn.

The DX896 coaxial loudspeaker provides the output capability of a dual 8-inch loudspeaker in an enclosure size typically associated with a single 8 inch, 2-way system. Its coaxial transducer can be rotated in 45° increments, which allows its coverage to be tailored to best suit an application’s requirements, and its dedicated low-frequency transducer provides additional low-frequency directivity and mid-bass impact. The enclosure’s 25° rear chamfers allow it to be mounted close to walls; alternatively, the enclosure may be rotated for mounting close to ceilings and under balconies. When rotated, the DX896’s low profile also makes it very useful as a high output front fill system when placed on the edge of or installed into a stage apron.

Fulcrum Acoustic’s TQ™ processing is an integral part of the DX896 design. Sound, innovative acoustical design combined with state of the art digital processing leads to the exceptional clarity and precise transient response, even at very high sound pressure levels. The required digital signal processing can be provided by one of many supported platforms.

The DX896’s 90° x 60° high-frequency horn is particularly effective for systems where targeted pattern control is desirable. This makes it an ideal choice for small live reinforcement systems, nightclubs, restaurants, theme parks, A/V screening rooms, and more.
