iDea EXO66-A Active Multipurpose High-Output Mini Monitor
EXO66-A is a compact multipurpose active mini monitor conceived for
those applications in which high power-density with superior quality audio
reproduction and optimum, unobtrusive integration are required.
The design goal of EXO66-A is to tightly package the SPL of standard 10” in a
cabinet compact enough to be easily transported in mobile and portable sound
reinforcement applications and to be discreet and elegant in any installation
project (RAL colors available on demand), while using the same materials and
finish that are found in the Touring Sound larger loudspeaker systems of the
IDEA product portfolio.
EXO66-A features a 6.5” Coaxial and a high-performance 6.5” woofer, in a very
tight, compact rear-ported cabinet. This configuration delivers pristine audio
clarity at any level with minimum distortion, making the
EXO66-A a pleasure to listen to, due to the excellent definition of the HF section and the natural fast and controlled transient response of the custom 6.5” IDEA LF woofers, which are some of the most powerful transducers of its kind available in the market today. EXO66-A integrates a Class-D dual-channel 1.2 kW power module and 24-bit DSP with 4 selectable presets. This high efficiency, low consumption power module features PFC (Power Factor Correction) for worldwide operation and error-proof connection to mains voltage. The rear panel features a rotary gain control, balanced audio input and output XLR and PowerCON connections, led activity indicators and a select pushbutton to toggle between the 4 preloaded presets. Together with BASSO24t-A or BASSO18-A, EXO66-A will turn into a really versatile, powerful multipurpose combo for a variety of applications. Entertainers, musicians, and DJs benefit from the advantages of such power density, as much as AV rental companies, just like premium installations and AV/Multimedia facilities find an excellent choice for superior audio reproduction in the tiny, refined, and powerful EXO66-A.
