Overview
l 105° horizontal constant directivity
The LA26 is a 2-way, full range line array cabinet housing two 6.5" neodymium pattern control
Planar Diaphragm drivers located in the side walls of the HF Oblate
Spheroidal Waveguide, a 2" diaphragm HF neodymium driver and a passive
network crossover presenting a nominal input impedance of 16Ω. l Auto-locking rigging mechanism with
The LF Planar Diaphragm drivers, and its special placement, integrated on variable splay angles from 0° to 12°
the Spheroidal Waveguide, reduces the cavity effect, associated with
traditional cone speakers, radiating sound energy smooth and evenly over the

entire coverage area. This special arrangement perfectly combines the HF
and LF acoustic centers to generate precisely coherent wavefronts uniformly Rack are available, for a complete
spread in the horizontal plane and precisely coupled in the vertical plane. touring system
The LA26 was designed to be incredibly versatile solving the needs of
production companies, rental houses, theaters, houses of worship, working
as main system, front fill, side array or as complement of larger-scale LA
systems.
Technical Specifications
