iDea LUA4C Compact and Versatile Mid/High-Frequency Loudspeaker

Install Column Loudspeaker

LUA4C is a compact and versatile Mid/High Frequency loudspeaker featuring four 3” wide band high power transducers. This column loudspeaker features all the expected benefits of this kind of driver arrangement: very focused and controlled directivity, extremely natural and defined midrange reproduction and surprising throw of acoustic energy for such contained dimensions. For installations requiring very refined audio reproduction and superior directivity control, it features a 8/32 Ohm selectable impedance switch, that makes the LUA4C ideal for distributed audio solutions in highly reverberant spaces or in locations where speech intelligibility is paramount. IDEA provides for LUA4C recommended DSP settings for different processing platforms, and with many different IDEA subwoofers, particularly with BASSO10, BASSO12i and BASSO12t. For portable sound reinforcement applications, providing rich and powerful solutions for mobile entertainers, small music ensembles rehearsal and live performances, DJs and high-impact corporate presentations, LUA4C is bestconfigured as LUA4C System, pairing with the BASSO12 M, active high performance 12” subwoofer that provides DSP processing and power (by Powersoft) to the LUA4C. LUA4 C is available in all RAL colours as well as in weatherized versions (with optional micro-perforated protection grill), and offers both adjustable angle wall-mount and pole-mount accessories.

OPTIONAL INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES

LUA4C feature optional wall-mount dedicated accessort for ease of installation in distributed audio environments in order to easily integrate with the venue, as well as a pole-mount accessory for easy setup in mobile sound applications.The U-Bracket WM-L48C (shown in the image on the right) uses the cabinet’s four M8 insert to attach the bracket and M6 bolts to to lock the desired angulation points with 7 horizontal positions and 4 vertical tilt angles
Screw the back plate to the wall, fit the anglulation parts to the cabinet and slide down the LUA4C with the accesory into the back plate brackets to assemble both parts. This easy, convenient installation process saves time at the setup operation while allowing for precise vertical and horizontal positioning of the loudspeaker. The PA-LUA48 optional accessory couples to the bottom side of the cabintet with 4 M6 insterts and features a 36-mm pole mount cup to use with any standard 35-mm distance rod.
