INTRODUCTION

AX1012A is a versatile constant curvature full-range element that can be used to create both vertical and horizontal line source arrays and also as a high- directivity point-source loudspeaker.
The 1.4” high frequency compression driver is coupled to STW – Seamless Transition Waveguide, which ensures a precise control of mid-high frequencies both on horizontal and vertical axis, for a perfect acoustic coupling between the enclosures that form the array. The unique waveguide design produces vertical line source directivity with a horizontal pattern that is maintained down to approximately 950Hz. This allows to project clean music and vocals evenly around the audience without hot-spots and dead-spots.
The sharp SPL off-axis rejection is used to avoid reflecting surfaces in the enclosure coupling plane and perfectly adjusts the acoustic coverage to the audience geometry.
The AX1012A tour-grade 15mm phenolic birch plywood cabinet is fitted with four integrated steel rails, to be used for coupling the cabinets with the KPTAX1012 aluminium coupling bars. A comprehensive set of accessories is available for creating horizontal or
vertical arrays, for ground-stacking the systems and also for pole mounting one unit.
AX1012A is recommended for the use as indoor FOH (Left – Centre – Right systems) or outdoor FOH in small to medium-sized events.
It can be used also as a complement to large systems as Out-fill, In-fill or distributed fill applications in a wide range of venue, providing clear sound to areas not fully reached by the main system, while minimizing unwanted interactions and room reflections.

I/O AND CONTROL OPERATIONS
MAINS~ IN
Powercon® NAC3FCXXA power input connector (blue). To switch the amplifier on, insert the Powercon® connector and turn it clockwise into the ON position. To switch the amplifier off, pull back the switch on the connector and turn it counter-clockwise into the POWER OFF position.

WARNING! In the case of product failure or fuse replacement, disconnect the unit completely from the mains power. The power cable must be only connected to a socket corresponding to the specifications indicated on the amplifier unit. The power supply must be protected by a suitably rated thermo- magnetic breaker. Preferably use a suitable switch to power on the whole audio system leaving the Powercon® always connected to each speaker, this simple trick extend the life of the Powercon® connectors.

MAINS~ OUT
Powercon® NAC3FCXXB power output connector (grey). This is connected in parallel with the MAINS ~ / IN. The maximum load applicable depends on the mains voltage. With 230V~ we suggest to link a maximum of 5 AX1012A loudspeakers, with 120V~ we suggest to link a maximum of 3 AX1012A loudspeaker.

INPUT
Audio signal input with locking XLR connector. It has a fully electronically balanced circuitry including AD conversion for the best S/N ratio and input headroom.

LINK
A direct connection from the input connector to link other speakers with same audio signal.

ON
This LED indicates power on status.
SIGN/LIMIT
This LED lights in green to indicate the presence of the signal and lights in red when an internal limiter reduces the input level.

GND LIFT
This switch lift the ground of the balanced audio inputs from the earth-ground of the module.
NETWORK IN/OUT
These are a standard RJ45 CAT5 connectors (with optional NEUTRIK NE8MC RJ45 cable connector carrier), used for PRONET network transmission of remote control data over long distance or multiple unit applications.
TERMINATE
In a PRONET network the last loudspeaker device must be terminated (with an inner load resistance) especially in a long run cabling: press this switch if you want to terminate the unit.
PRESET BUTTON
This button has two functions:

1. Pressing it while powering on the unit:
   ID ASSIGN The internal DSP assigns a new ID to the unit for the PRONET AX remote control operation. Each loudspeaker must have a unique ID to be visible in the PRONET AX network. When you assign a new ID, all the other loudspeakers with the ID already assigned must be ON and connected to the network.
2. Pressing it with the unit ON you can select the DSP PRESET. The selected PRESET is indicated by the corresponding LED:
   SINGLE Suited for a typical use of a single loudspeaker on a pole, standalone or in combination with a subwoofer, or in a front fill application.
   MID-THROW Suited for the use of the loudspeakers in an array configuration when the distance between the array centre and the audience area is about 25mt or less.
   LONG THROW Suited for the use of the loudspeakers in an array configuration when the distance between the array centre and the audience area is about 40mt.
   USER This LED lights when the USER PRESET is loaded. This preset corresponds to USER MEMORY no. 1 of the DSP and, as a factory setting, it’s the same as SINGLE. If you want to modify it, you must connect the unit to a PC, edit the parameters with PRONET AX control software and save the PRESET in the USER MEMORY no. 1. Note: see also the PRONET AX example further in this manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The AX1012A system is conceived as a CONSTANT CURVATURE ARRAYS loudspeaker so ALL AX1012A units that belong to the same array must be have the same PRESET to work well together.

PRONET AX
PRONET AX software has been developed in collaboration with sound engineers and sound designers, in order to offer an “easy-touse” tool to setup and manage your audio system.
With PRONET AX you can visualize signal levels, monitor internal status and edit all the parameters of each connected device.

Download the PRONET AX app registering on MY AXIOM at the website at https://www.axiomproaudio.com/.
The AXIOM active loudspeaker devices can be connected in a network and controlled by the PRONET AX software, for the network connection the PROEL USB2CAN (with 1-port) or the USB2CAN-D (with 2-port) converter optional accessory is needed.
PRONET AX network is based on a “bus-topology” connection, where the first device is connected to the network input connector of the second device, the second device network output is connected to the network input connector of the third device, and so on. To ensure a reliable communication the first and the last device of the “bus-topology” connection must be terminated. This can be done by pressing the “TERMINATE” switch near the network connectors in the rear panel of the first and the last device. For the network connections simple RJ45 cat.5 or cat.6 ethernet cables can be used (please don’t confuse a ethernet network with a PRONET AX network these are completely different and must be fully separated also both use the same kind of cable).

Assign the ID number
To work properly in a PRONET AX network each connected device must have a unique identifier number, called ID. By default the USB2CAN-D PC controller has ID=0 and there can be only one PC controller. Every other device connected must have its own unique ID equal or greater than 1: in the network cannot exist two devices with the same ID.
In order to correctly assign a new available ID to each device for working properly in a Pronet AX network, follow these instructions:

1. Switch off all the devices.
2. Connect them correctly to the network cables.
3. “TERMINATE” the end device in the network connection.
4.  Switch on the first device keep pressed “PRESET” button on the control panel.
5. Leaving the previous device switched on, repeat the previous operation on the next device, until the latest device is turned on.

The “Assign ID” procedure for a device makes the internal network controller to perform two operations: reset the current ID; search the first free ID in the network, starting from ID=1. If no other devices are connected (and powered on), the controller assume ID=1, that is the first free ID, otherwise it searches the next one left free.
These operations ensure that every device has it’s own unique ID, if you need to add a new device to the network you simply repeat the operation of step 4. Every device maintains its ID also when it is turned-off, because the identifier is stored in the internal memory and it is cleared only by another “Assign ID” step, as explained above.

**** If you use a set of loudspeakers made always of the same devices, the assign ID procedure must be performed only the first time the system is turned on.
For more detais about PRONET see the PRONET AX USER’S MANUAL included with the software.

PREDICTION: EASE Focus 3
To aim correctly a complete system we suggests to use always the Aiming Software – EASE Focus 3:
The EASE Focus 3 Aiming Software is a 3D Acoustic Modelling Software that serves for the configuration and modelling of Line Arrays and conventional speakers close to reality. It only considers the direct field, created by the complex addition of the sound contributions of the individual loudspeakers or array components.
The design of EASE Focus is targeted at the end user. It allows the easy and quick prediction of the array performance in a given venue. The scientific base of EASE Focus stems from EASE, the professional electro- and room acoustic simulation software  developed by AFMG Technologies GmbH. It is based on the EASE GLL loudspeaker data file required for its use, please note that the are multiple GLL files for the AX1012A systems. Each GLL file contains the data that defines the Line Array with regard to its possible configurations as well as to its geometrical and acoustical properties that are different from vertical or horizontal applications.
Download the EASE Focus 3 app from the AXIOM website at http://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads section of the product.
Use the menu option Edit / Import System Definition File to import the GLL files about AX1012A configurations from the installation Data folder, the detailed instructions to use the program are located in the menu option Help / User’s Guide.
Note: Some windows system can require the .NET Framework 4 that can be download from microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com/en- us/download/default.aspx.

LOCKING PINS INSERTION

RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS
AX1012A arrays deliver seamless coverage only to desired areas minimizing unwanted reflections of walls and surfaces or avoiding interactions with other sound systems, with the stage or with other areas. Multiple units in horizontal or vertical array allow to shape the radiation pattern in slices of 20°, providing exceptional flexibility in the construction of the desired coverage angle.
The AX1012A cabinet is provided with four integrated steel rails, to be used for coupling the cabinets with the KPTAX1012 aluminium coupling bars. A comprehensive set of accessories is available for rigging horizontal or vertical arrays, for ground-stacking the systems and also for pole mounting one or two units. The rigging system does not require additional adjustments, since the aiming angle of the array is determined only by using the proper hole in the flying bars with the use of the predicting software.
The following instructions show how to proceed to assemble the speakers in order to form various type of array, starting from a simple 2 units horizontal array to more complex ones: please read all of them carefully.

WARNING! CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONDITION OF USE:

• This loudspeaker is designed exclusively for Professional audio applications. The product must be installed by qualified personal only.
• Proel strongly recommends that this loudspeaker cabinet be suspended taking into consideration all current National, Federal, State and Local regulations. Please contact the manufacturer for further information.
• Proel do not accept any liability for damage caused to third parties due to improper installation, lack of maintenance, tampering or improper use of this product, including disregard of acceptable and applicable safety standards.
• During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing. Wear suitable protective clothing. Observe all instructions given on the rigging components and the loudspeaker cabinets. When chain hoists are in operation ensure that there is nobody directly underneath or in the vicinity of the load. Do not under any circumstances climb on the array.

WIND LOADS
When planning an open-air event it is essential to obtain current weather and wind information. When loudspeaker arrays are flown in an open-air environment, possible wind effects must be taken into account. Wind load produces additional dynamic forces acting on the rigging components and the suspension, which may lead to a dangerous situation. If according to the forecast wind forces higher than 5 bft (29-38 Km/h) are possible, the following actions have to be taken:
– The actual on-site wind speed has to be monitored permanently. Be aware that wind speed typically increases with height above ground.
– Suspension and securing points of the array should be designed to support double the static load in order to withstand any additional dynamic forces.

WARNING!
Flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces higher than 6 bft (39-49 Km/h) is not recommended. If the wind force exceeds 7 bft (50-61 Km/h) there is a risk of mechanical damage to the components which may lead to a dangerous situation for persons in the vicinity of the flown array.
– Stop the event and make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the array.
– Lower and secure the array.

2-UNIT HORIZONTAL ARRAY
Follow the sequence below to couple two AX1012A units in an horizontal array: you can use the same procedure for assembling all horizontal arrays. Each AX1012A has several bumpers on each side of the box that fits in the slots of the adjacent box: this allows
to arrange the boxes perfectly aligned for inserting easily the coupling and flying bars.

HORIZONTAL ARRAY EXAMPLES
For more complex horizontal arrays made of from 3 to 6 units you can proceed in a similar way, assembling the whole system to the ground and raising it up all together. The following figures show how to arrange 2 to 6 units horizontal arrays.
NOTE: remember that one PLG714 shackle is supplied with each KPTAX1012H horizontal flying bar and three PLG714 shackles are supplied with each KPTAX1012T suspension bar.

For horizontal arrays made of more than 6 loudspeakers, as a rule of thumb one KPTAX1012H flying bar should be used at most every two or three boxes, as in the following examples. When flying arrays with more than 6 units, it is advisable to use multiple
lifting points connected directly to the KPTAX1012H flying bars, without using the KPTAX1012T suspension bars.

A) KPTAX1012H HORIZONTAL ARRAY FLYING BAR
C) KPTAX1012 COUPLING BAR

2-UNIT VERTICAL ARRAY
Follow the sequence below to assemble up to four AX1012A units into a vertical array. Each AX1012A has several bumpers at each side of the box that fits in the slots of the adjacent box: this allows to arrange the boxes perfectly aligned for inserting easily the
coupling bars.
The first step before lifting up the system is to assemble the fly bar to the first box. Be careful to insert properly all the bars and their locking pins, with the shackle in the right hole as specified by the aiming software. When lifting and releasing the system, always
proceed slowly and gradually step by step, being careful to correctly assemble all the rigging hardware and to avoid endangering yourself and your hands from being crushed.
NOTE: remember that one PLG714 shackle is supplied with the KPTAX1012V vertical flying bar.

1. Remove the pins at the end of the flying bar, insert the flying bar into the rails of the first box.
2. Put back in place the pins in their hole, making sure that they are inserted correctly. Fix the shackle in the chosen hole and link the lifting system.
3. Lift the first box, place the second box on the floor just underneath the first one. Let down slowly the first box over the second one, aligning the bumpers and the slots of the two loudspeakers. Note: a proper wedge placed between the cabinet to be linked and the floor can be useful.
4. Link the first box to the second box using two coupling bars: remove the pins and the locking plates and insert the bars into the cabinet rails from the front.
5. Put back in place the locking plates and fix them reinserting the pins in their hole.
6. Be sure that all hardware is firmly fixed before lifting the system and proceeding to link the third and fourth boxes (if required).

Note: in a vertical array, since the first unit can be connected to the flybar indifferently from either side of the box, the HF horn can result either to the left or to the right side of the array. In a small venue, could be a good choice to place the HF horns of each left
and right array symmetrically to the external, to obtain a more coherent stereo image in the centre of the venue. In medium or large venues the symmetrical HF horn placement is less important due to the bigger distance between the left and right arrays.

VERTICAL ARRAY EXAMPLES

The following figures are examples of vertical arrays made of from 2 to 4 units. NOTE: 4 is the maximum number of units in a vertical array.

DOWN-FIRING ARRAY EXAMPLE
One additional use of AX1012A in vertical array configuration is as down- firing system, with a maximum of 4 units. In this case two KPTAX1012V flying bars are used, one at each side of the array, so the array can be suspended from two points and aimed to be
completely on the vertical axis, as in the figure below:

STACKED SYSTEMS
WARNING!

• The ground where the KPTAX1012V flying bar serving as ground support is placed must be absolutely stable and compact.
• Adjust the feet so to put the bar in a perfectly horizontal position.
• Always secure ground stacked setups against movement and possible tipping over.
• A maximum of 3 x AX1012A cabinets with the KPTAX1012V flying bar serving as ground support are allowed to be set up in a ground stack.

For the stack configuration you must use four optional BOARDACF01 feet and the fly bar must be mounted upside down to the ground.

POLE MOUNTING

One single AX1012A loudspeaker can be also installed on a pole and used standalone or in combination with a sub woofer (suggested model is SW1800A).
To install the AX1012A on a pole, the round plate on the left side of the loudspeaker must be replaced with the KPAX265 pole adapter (use a 4mm hex key or screwdriver) and the KP010 tilt adapter must be used as a link to the pole. If the AX1012A is installed
on a subwoofer, we suggest to use the DHSS10M20 pole to adjust the height. Set the tilt angle to -10° to aim the loudspeaker parallel to floor (see figures below).

1. Remove the round plate.
2. Mount the KPAX265 pole adapter.
3. Insert the KP010 tilt adapter into the KPAX265 and install the AX1012A to the pole. Aim the tilt adapter 10° down to align the AX1012A to the floor and fix its pin. Adjust the pole’s height if needed.
