Safety and Regulatory
Compliance
The system shall be a multiple driver, full-range portable
loudspeaker system with internally supplied power amplification
and active equalization for multiple operating modes as follows:
The L1® Compact system complies with the following
standards:
The transducer complement shall consist of six 2.00" (51 mm)
high-excursion drivers mounted in a curved Articulated Array®
loudspeaker coupled with an integral 8" (203 mm) low-frequency
driver mounted in a ported bass enclosure. The loudspeaker array
shall be wired in a series/parallel configuration.
The nominal horizontal beamwidth of the loudspeaker shall
be 180°, and the vertical coverage shall be 40°. The system’s
power stand shall incorporate a ported venting system for the
low-frequency driver, tuned for 65 Hz. The power amplification
for transducers shall be supplied by the integrated power stand
providing 130 W continuous pink noise, band-limited from 65 Hz
to 14 kHz (±3 dB).
The input connectors of the power stand module shall consist of
one XLR with equalization for a dynamic handheld microphone,
one 1/4" TRS with selectable ToneMatch® signal processing
for acoustic guitar with piezo pickup, stereo RCA, and one 1/8"
TRS receptacle. The output connectors of the power stand shall
consist of one 1/4" balanced TRS or unbalanced TS and two RCA
unbalanced phone plugs.
The enclosure of the power stand shall be constructed of
polypropylene materials. The extension and array shall be
constructed of ABS materials. In collapsed tabletop mode, the
system’s outer dimensions shall be 16.5" H x 13.3" W x 16.8" D
(418 mm x 339 mm x 426mm). Its weight shall be 24.6 lb (11.2
kg). In extended operating mode, the system’s outer dimensions
shall be 78.5" H x 13.3" W x 16.8" D (1995 mm x 339 mm x 426
mm). Its weight shall be 29.2 lb (13.3 kg).
