LAIA-12

Multipurpose speaker

High Output, self powered (class D switch mode power supply), multi purpose, point source cabinet. It consists of a 12” (3” voice coil) transducer with 1” exit throat driver delivering 90ºH x 60ºV precise coverage. DSP (FIR technology) controlled with 1200W amplification, 132 dB peak.

The LAIA-12 enclosure is a medium format, multi purpose, point source cabinet that offers an ideal solution for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications, both in fixed installations and/or touring. Thanks to the cabinet’s design, it can be used as a stage monitor. LAIA-12 is a self-powered 2-way system with a total of 1200W in class D, universal switching power supply.

Equipped with a powerful next-generation 64-bit/96KHz DSP designed and manufactured by Lynx Pro Audio, it offers the most recent advances in digital processing, such as FIR filters, which offer linear frequency and phase response. The latest 32-bit/96KHZ AD/DA converters make the system one of the most advanced and innovative point source on the market, resulting in superior sound quality. Additionally, LAIA series systems can be controlled remotely using the OCS control platform, giving the user the ability to control the systems without the need for external processors.

Hardware for LAIA-12

Enclosure

The LAIA-12 cabinet is constructed from 11-ply (15mm thickness) premium birch plywood and finished with premium birch plywood.

Internal design

The internal structure of the LAIA-12 is heavily braced for greater longevity and all parts are assembled on metal inserts with metric screws. The amplification modules & DSP are housed in a separate chamber to the drivers avoiding excessive heat & vibration, thus delivering greater efficiency and reliability.

Rear panel

The powder coated steel rear panel contains all connections and houses the LAIA-12 amplification modules and DSP, is easily accessible and housed separately from the drivers for increased reliability and efficiency.

Grill

The LAIA-12 has a heavy duty, powder coated front grille with a special acoustic rear fabric to protect the transducers against dust and dirt.

Handles

Handles are integrated in to the side plates of the LAIA-12 to facilitate transport, positioning and loading of the cabinets.

Rigging

Three fixing points are integrated on the top of the enclosure to facilitate its installation.

Transport

A durable flight case is available to transport two LAIA-12.

Accesories for LAIA-12

DSP configuration

DSP panel configuration

On the back pannel of the cabinet you will find the digital control area. From the compact joystick located below the screen you are able to configure the basic adjustment functions of the internal DSP.

Just move the joystick to select the icons on the left of the screen. You can enter into the following functions: Home, settings, folder, configuration and information. Please note that you must apply the desired configuration in each one cabinet and requires electrical power to work.

If changes are not made the display will automatically dim to avoid unnecessary light in situations where light is not wanted. To re-activate the light simply press the joystick.

The following screens are an example and may vary slightly for each cabinet.

HOME

On the main screen you can see the cabinet’s input and output:

• Input: You can see a vumeter with the input level and a clip signal.

• Output: You have a vumeter with the output level (0 dBu is the amp’s maximum level) You can check the compressor and control the dynamic activity.

SETTINGS

This panel allows you to change the gain, polarity, mute and the delay for the inputs.

You also have the possibility of putting a high pass, changing the type of filter, frequency and order.

FOLDER

The folder screen shows you the name of the preset and its description.

Using the joystick you can change the preset.

CONFIGURATION

This screen is to configurate Ethernet. You can choose automatic or manual.

You can also configure the screen saver.

And here you have the input selection. You can choose between analog or AES3 for channel 1 or channel 2.

INFORMATION

The last screen shows you some general information regarding the cabinet’s components.

Here you can see the cabinet model, its serial number, DSP firmware and hardware versions, amp module model with hardware version, as well as the accelerometer status.
