INTRODUCTION

The AX800A NEO has been developed with total optimization of the speaker components in mind – from the lightweight woofercone materials with neodymium magnetic core structure through to the titanium diaphragm used in the high frequency compressiondriver with neodymium magnetic core. They’ve been developed in close cooperation with our supply partners, who act in manyways as an extension of our R&D acoustics team.
Housing two eight-inch low frequency neodymium drivers, which are transmission line back-loaded for a significant reduction inlow range frequencies at the rear of the speaker, the AX800A NEO delivers natural cardioid behaviour and therefore clean mid-bassreproduction. This is especially important in preventing the “boxy” mid-bass sound commonly obtained from regular bass- reflexenclosures, or the build up of excessive low-mid frequencies behind an array and on stage that can be annoying for performers. For completing the system the HF structure uses a 1.4-inch titanium diaphragm compression neodymium driver loaded by anacoustic transmission line waveguide providing natural sounding high frequencies. The components are arranged in a very compactWTW driver configuration, which lends itself to correct line array behaviour, providing wide and even horizontal coverage of anyvenue or audience space.
The AX800A NEO is processed by 40bit, floating point CORE2 DSP implementing FIR filters for a speakers optimal eq and phasealignment, it is powered by high efficient CLASS D amplifier modules, with a PFC regulated switch mode circuit for universal supplyallowing the maximum output power for any mains supply variation. The output power is optimized specifically to the drive units,sharing 800 watts between both woofers and delivering 400 watts to the high frequency band.

I/O AND CONTROL OPERATIONS
MAINS IN
Powercon® NAC3FCA 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.
MAINS OUT
Powercon® NAC3FCB power output connector (grey). This is connected in parallel with the MAINS ~ / IN, it is suited to link the supply of a maximum of further 3 AX800A NEO loudspeakers.
WARNING! In the case of product failure or fuse replacement, disconnect the unit completely from the mains power. The power cable must only be 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.

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 amplifier module.
PRESET BUTTON
This button has two function:

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:

STANDARD
This PRESET is suitable for vertical flown arrays that may range from 4 to 8 boxes or for the centre region of a bigger flown array. It can be used also for stacked arrays.
LONG THROW
This PRESET can be used in arrays bigger than 6 or 8 boxes and loaded in the top 1 or 2 boxes in order to obtain a more even distribution of the sound pressure, especially if they point very far away or to the upper deck of a large theatre.
DOWN FILL SINGLE BOX
This PRESET, which features a much smoother high frequency response, can be loaded in the bottom boxes (usually 1 or 2 boxes) of a large flown array, in order to reach conveniently the audience close to the stage. This preset could be very useful also when the box is used just on its own as a Front Fill element in the front of very large stages.
USER
This PRESET corresponds to USER MEMORY no. 1 of the DSP and, as a factory setting, it’s the same to STANDARD. If you want to modify it, you have to connect the unit to a PC, edit the parameters with PRONET AX software and save the PRESET into USER MEMORY no. 1.
AX800A NEO – PRESET RESPONSE

PRESET USING EXAMPLE: INSTALLATION IN A THEATRE WITH BALCONY
In the following figure you can see an example of the use of different PRESETS in an AX800A NEO flown array installed in a big theatre with balcony:

• The TOP BOXES of the array are aiming at the balcony while the DOWN FILL box is aiming at the audience close to the stage.
• TOP BOXES: the power level at the end of the balcony is lower, as well as the high frequency level.
• DOWN FILL BOXES: the power level in the proximity of the stage is higher, as well as the high frequency level.

In order to optimize the array performances for the specific application, the PRESETS should be used in the following way.

• Load the STANDARD preset in the central boxes.
•  Load the LONG THROW preset in the TOP 1 or 2 boxes, in order to compensate the loss of power level and high frequencies of the program sent the upper deck of the theatre.
• Load the DOWN FILL / SINGLE BOX preset in the BOTTOM box in order to smooth the high frequency content of the program sent to the audience close to the stage.

NETWORK IN/OUT
These are a standard RJ45 CAT5 connectors (with optional NEUTRIK NE8MC RJ45 cable connector carrier), used for PRONET AX network transmission of remote control data over long distance or multiple unit applications.
TERMINATE
In a PRONET AX network the last device must be always terminated (with an inner load resistance): press this switch if you want to terminate the network on this unit.
Only the last devices connected to the PRONET AX network must be always terminated, therefore all units connected between two devices within the network must not be terminated never.
PRONET AX – OPERATION
The AXIOM active loudspeaker devices can be connected in a network and controlled by the PRONET AX software. 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/.
For the network connection the USB2CAND (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 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 USB2CAND 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.
With the network made always of the same devices the assigning ID procedure must be executed only the first time the system is turned on.
For more detailed instruction about PRONET AX see the PRONET AX USER’S MANUAL included with the software.

PREDICTION SOFTWARE: 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. The 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.
Download the EASE Focus 3 app from the AXIOM website at https://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads section of the product.
Use the menu option Edit / Import System Definition File to import the GLL file, 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 website at https://focus.afmg.eu/.

BASIC INSTALLING OPERATION

The EASE FOCUS prediction software is the tool that allows you to evaluate your installation both to meet the acoustic requirements of the project and also to suspend or stack AX800A NEO systems, the program allows you to simulate the rigging pinpoint on the fly bar to obtain the calculated splay angle of the entire line array system and of the individual angles between each loudspeaker element.
The following examples shows how to operate correctly to link the loudspeaker box and to suspend or stack the whole system safely and surely, read these instructions with extreme attention:

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, for suspending the system qualified rigger personal is mandatory.

• Proel strongly recommends that this loudspeaker cabinet be suspended taking into consideration all current National, Federal, State and Local regulations. Please contact the manufacturer and local distributor 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.

Fly bar suspension and angle setup (centre of gravity)
The figure at the side shows where the normal centre of gravity is with one box or several boxes arranged in a line. Usually the boxes are arranged to make an arc for the best coverage of the audience, so the center of gravity moves backward. The aiming software suggests the ideal suspension pinpoint taking into account this behaviour: fix the straight shackle in this position.
Note that the ideal aiming angle often doesn’t correspond to the pinpoint: there is often a little difference between ideal aiming and real aiming and its value is the Delta angle: positive delta angle can be adjusted a little using two ropes, negative delta angle are self adjusted a little because the cables weight on the back of the array. With some experience it’s possible to consider preventively these required little adjustments.
During the flown set up you can connect the elements of the array to their cables. We suggest to discharge the weight of the cables from the flying pinpoint by tying them with a textile fibre rope, instead of letting them hang freely: in this way the position of the array will be much more similar to the simulation produced by the software.

Pin locking and splay angles set up
The figures below shows how to insert correctly the locking pin, always carefully check that each pin is fully inserted and locked in the correct position. Set up the splay angle between loudspeakers inserting the pin in the correct hole, please note that the inner hole in the hinge top is for whole angles (1, 2, 3 etc.) while the outer hole is for the half angles (0.5, 1.5, 2.5 etc.).

FLY BARS AND ACCESSORIES

The AX800A systems are built to allow the suspension of array with variable shape and dimensions. Thanks to a suspension mechanism designed to be functional, flexible and safe, each system must be suspended or stacked using the KPTAX800 or KPTAX800L fly bar. The loudspeakers are linked together in a column using a series of couplers integrated in the frame of each enclosure. Each system is set up properly both acoustically and mechanically only using the aiming software. Coupling system in the front does not require any adjustment: using two locking pins, each loudspeaker box is fixed to the previous. The slotted bar in the back is inserted in a U-shaped frame which features a series of numbered holes. Sliding the slotted bar in the U-shaped frame of the next loudspeaker and inserting a locking pin in one of the numbered holes, it is possible to adjust the relative splay angle between two adjacent loudspeakers in the array column.
KPTAX800 FLY BAR AND ACCESSORIES

NOTE: The figures illustrate the KPTAX800 and KPTAX800L usages, these are similar with the respective load capacity limitations.
Follow the sequence in the figure for fixing the fly bar at the first box. Usually this is the first step before lifting up the system. Be careful to insert properly all the locking pins (1)(2) and (3)(4) then the shackle (5) in the right holes as specified by the aiming software. When lifting the system always proceed gradually step by step, paying attention to secure the fly bar to the box (and the box to the other boxes) before pulling up the system: this makes easier to insert properly the locking pins. Also when the system is released down, unlock gradually the pins. During the lifting be very careful to not let the cables enter the space between one enclosure and the other, as their compression could cut them.
KPTAX800
fly bar maximum capacity is 200 Kg (441 lbs) with the 0° angle. It can support, with a safety factor of 10:1, up to:

• 4 AX800A
• KPTAX800 can NOT be used for stacked array.

KPTAX800L fly bar maximum capacity is 680 Kg (1500 lbs) with the 0° angle.
It can support, with a safety factor of 10:1, up to:

• 12 AX800A
• KPTAX800L can be used for stacked array for a maximum of 4 AX800A units.

KPTAX800L FLY BAR AND ACCESSORIES

STACKED SYSTEM WITH KPTAX800L

WARNING!

• The ground where the KPTAX800L Fly bar serving as ground support is placed needs to be absolutely stable and compact.
• Adjust the feet so to lie the bar perfectly horizontal.
• Always secure ground stacked setups against movement and possible tipping over.
• A maximum of 4 x AX800A cabinets with the KPTAX800L Fly bar serving as ground support are allowed to be set up as ground stack.

In the stack configuration you have to use the three optional BOARDACF01 feet and the fly bar must be mounted upside down on the ground.
Coupling system in the front do not require any adjustment: using two locking pins each loudspeaker box is fixed to the previous. The slotted bar in the back is inserted in a U-shaped frame which features a series of numbered holes. Sliding the slotted bar in the U-shaped frame of the next loudspeaker and inserting a locking pin in one of the numbered holes, it is possible to adjust the relative splay angle between two adjacent loudspeakers in the array column.
The optimal splay angles can be simulated using the EASE Focus 3 software.
