AERO-48
series
INTRODUCTION
The AERO-48 is an externally powered,
high efficiency line array module which integrates
low, mid and high frequency transducers in a
single unit. The ruggedly built enclosure is easy to
transport by means of the front panel dolly and the
captive rigging hardware makes flying safe and
simple. The unit is ideal for applications requiring
high sound pressure levels and precise control of
the vertical coverage.
APPLICATIONS
The AERO-48 system is well suited for
large-scale outdoor events or indoor venues such
as theaters, arenas or stadiums. The system can
be used in conjunction with the AERO-218SUB
subwoofer unit for increased sound pressure level
in the low frequency range from 28 Hz to 83 Hz.
DESCRIPTION
The AERO-48 three-way system
incorporates two15” low frequency units with 4”
voice coils, four 8”mid-range devices which utilize
2.5” voice coils and two compression drivers with
3” coils and 1.5” exit geometry. The compression
drivers are coupled to two Serpis high frequency
plane wave adaptors which insure coherent high
frequency summing and the generation of a flat,
isophasic wavefront. The components make use
of lightweight neodymium magnet assemblies for
overall weight reduction and the sophisticated
T.A.F. cooling scheme provides higher power
handling and low power compression.
T h e t r a p e z o i d a l e n c l o s u r e i s
manufactured from Wisa® birch plywood and is
finished in a durable catalyzed polyurethane paint.
A fabric covered steel grill protects the
loudspeaker components. The captive rigging
hardware and 5º enclosure angles permit splay
angles ranging from 0º to 9.6º in 0.8º and 1.6º
increments. Ten handles and a front panel dolly
with four heavy-duty casters facilitate
maneuvering.
