GENZLER AMPLIFICATION is proud to announce the SERIES 2 update to the original BA12-3 design. The BA2-112-3STR (straight version) is identical to the original slant cabinet design, and now features Italian-designed Neodymium premium loudspeakers. Overall tonal characteristics include defined, focused lows, smooth mid-range response, seamlessly transitioning to extended top-end clarity.

Features:

- Neodymium 12" Woofer w/4 x 3" Neodymium Line Array Drivers
- Ported Cabinet Design
- Cabinet Built w/Lite-ply & Baltic Birch Plywood
- Top Mounted Flush Handle
- Dual Speakon and " Input Jacks
- Sealed jacks to reduce rear cabinet air loss and noise
- Increased power handling and thermal capacity
- Drivers are loaded into a sealed line array stack.

Benefits of combining loudspeaker elements in a compact speaker system:
- Full, deep, low frequency response from the high efficiency 12" ported woofer doing what it does best.
- Excellent support of the low B fundamental of 5 string instruments.
- A selective crossover point overcomes the "beaming" (pattern narrowing) effects of a full range signal being reproduced by larger low frequency drivers.
- Lowers midrange and high frequency distortion by allowing the use of small, high performance cone transducers that would otherwise be unsuitable without the increased acoustic sensitivity obtained by the array design.

This design provides a much more open, smoother midrange and high frequency response because of the ideal natural… read more characteristics of the mid-high frequency array when compared to a conventional tweeter that cannot reproduce the crucial midrange frequencies without pattern control or un-natural distortion.

The SERIES 2 update offers even more advancements with increased power handling, broader frequency response, more detail, mid-clarity, definition, and extended top-end, all in an even lighter-weight cabinet.

What this means in the context of performance is the most focused, defined, musically smooth and seamless response possible throughout the cabinets entire broad-range bandwidth. Additionally the placement of the Line Array in front of the 12" woofer further provides a type of "single point source" projection -- think of it as concentric speakers, one inside of the other, in the same linear plane. Also due to line array principals the all-important mid and high frequencies have a much wider horizontal dispersion with a more controlled vertical pattern. This offers the most even projection possible around the perimeter of the stage and audience.
