EXO12
2-Way Passive 12″ Multipurpose Monitor
QUICK START GUIDE
Overview
EXO12 is a versatile, high-performance full range 2-way passive wedged monitor
conceived for professional environments where portable sound reinforcement is
required, delivering a superior audio reproduction in a very compact,
multipurpose format.
EXO12 HF assembly couples a 3” compression driver into common EXO Series birch
plywood axisymmetric horn with IDEA’s proprietary design and a premium
European, dedicated-design passive crossover filter provides a smooth, natural
transition intro the LF 12” woofer.
EXO12 is built with 15 and 18 mm Finnish plywood, IDEA’s Aquaforce waterproof
paint coating and a high quality steel grille, creating a rugged, durable and
stylish loudspeaker.
The 60° wedged cabinet allows not only to be used as FOH main system in small
venues, bars and AV applications and as a stage monitor but to seamlessly fit
into any wall mount fixed installation.
EXO12 integrates a bottom Pole Mount 36 mm socket to be configured on BASSO
Series subwoofers for portable sound reinforcement and medium performance
venues and clubs. The dedicated U-bracket and threaded M8 and M6 inserts allow
for all vertical and horizontal U-bracket positions both for wall and ceiling
fixed installations as well as to be precisely oriented in pole mounted
configurations.
