The Avant series incorporates an impressive battery of high tech features that take powered portable systems to a new level of performance. The latest in Class D power amplification, digital signal processing and optimized D.A.S. components have been combined with enclosures designed for ease of  transportation and road worthiness.

The Avant 12A offers a multi-angle enclosure which allows it to be used in stage monitor applications as well as a compact P.A. system.

The 600 W Class D amplifier provides extended bandwith, improved dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion. This makes the Avant series one of the best sounding systems on the market. After all, isn´t quality sound what it´s all about?

The 12AV4 loudspeaker designed and built by D.A.S. provides accurate low frequency reproduction. High frequencies are handled by the M-50N compression driver which uses a neodymium magnet structure and 2" titanium diaphragm-features hard to find on other systems in this market segment.

Technical Data

With a 12" woofer and a 1" titanium compressor driver, the EKX-12P from Electro-Voice is a powered two-way Loudspeaker providing 1500W of Class D amplification. It\'s suitable in live-music scenarios, lecture setups, and generalized nightclub use. The loudspeaker\'s integrated QuickSmartDSP technology can be modified using the LCD-based menu-navigation screen and the single-knob user interface. Four presets of DSP are provided for various settings—Music, Live, Speech, and Club—though EQ manipulation and five user-programmable presets are all adjustable. Visual monitoring of your limiter, input metering, and master volume allow you to gain-stage properly.

Its on-board amplifier can deliver up to 132 dB of SPL, its frequency response ranges from 50 Hz to 20 kHz at -10 dB, and its intelligent thermal-management system controls fan-speed by means of multiple built-in sensors, thus reinforcing the durable performance of this speaker (whose 15mm wooden enclosure is fronted by an 18 AWG steel grille). Electro-Voice\'s SST waveguide design provides measured and dependable coverage of a given area, and the speaker\'s Cardioid Control Technology allows you to steer output towards the audience while reducing levels up to 35 dB on stage when multiple subwoofers are employed.

For convenience in mounting and transport, this loudspeaker boasts eight M10 threaded mounting points, aluminum pole mounts, and metallic handles; as such, it can be mounted on a tripod stand, on a pole above your subwoofer, or utilized as a floor monitor for artists on stage. You can feed the speaker sweet, sweet audio via RCA inputs or XLR/1/4" combination jacks, and you can link it to other monitors via an XLR link-output.
