The Ikarray-12 is a 2-way bi-amping full-range line array with high-quality 12"/1.4" neodymium components. This lightweight, compact unit with many intelligent detail solutions is suited for everything from small events up to large venues with many thousand listeners.

Much emphasis has been placed on constant directivity and linear frequency response even outside the mid-axis. This has been achieved on the horizontal level with one 12-incher, single mounted to give a wide dispersion without restrictions such as those caused when two transducers are placed next to each other (d’appolito effect).

The vertically optimal coupling of the elements with each other is achieved by a narrow construction distance and splitting the acoustic centers into several virtual sound sources: A special Double-Twin Waveformer is coupled to the 1.4" tweeter, which segments the sound into 4 subranges. The Double-Twin Waveformer makes it possible to reduce the distances of the sound sources to a minimum and to optimize the crossover frequencies and coupling.

In comparison to many other arrays of this size, the Ikarray-12 has a warm sound with powerful low-mids that allow a low x-over. As a result, the Ikarray-12 can be used for many purposes without subwoofers.

With completed dimensions of only 60.5 cm, the Ikarray-12 keeps within the advantageously trucking dimensions and is world-wide the narrowest in the 12"/1.4" class. Used in the ground-stack position on the upright Paveosub-218, which has the same width, it exhibits an elegant silhouette and giving an optical unity.

The splaying between the individual Ikarray units is achieved by an innovative infinitely adjustable spindle mechanism. This enables more precise adjustment and optimization of acoustics than has been possible up to now with traditional locking-pin rigging systems. As an additional feature the fine adjustment of the mechanism can also be done under load.

For changing an angle between the elements the complicated unloading and de-rigging of the array become unnecessary. This saves a lot of time and makes work easier.
