<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> M6<br />

<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> <strong>Essentials</strong><br />

from Rainer Schober www.musikparadies.com Austria<br />

M6 is one of the smallest PA speakers on the market. It has got a 6, 5’’ Neodymium Bass speaker and<br />

a 1’’ high range horn with 90x60 degrees emission angle. The horn is rotatable (for horizontal or<br />

vertical application). The M6 uses the same high range driver as the M8, which gives you impressive<br />

gain output with almost HIFI sound quality.<br />

Because of its small size and weight, the M6 is mountable with just one Manfrotto clamp. It can be<br />

used as very small monitor (e.g. orchestras, choirs and singers), as side, near fill and delay line<br />

loudspeaker, you can even mount it under balconies in theatres and churches.<br />

You can use two M6 tops on one B15/S15 subwoofer, using the crossover of the bass with only one<br />

amplifier channel on each side. It suits acoustically perfectly in bars, restaurants or in seminar rooms.<br />

If you want to use it for speeches and background music for installed and mobile sound, you do not<br />

need a subwoofer. The M6 has got two different setup angles for monitoring purposes – best sound<br />

on smallest space. It is available as left and right side version for stereo monitoring.<br />

One M6 has got 16Ω resistance, so you can use up to 8 loudspeakers with a single stable 2Ω amplifier<br />

channel. Further on it has got 4 Speakon plugs, a solid carrying handle on the backside and 6 M10<br />

nuts for installation and flying purposes, or mounting the L-­‐shaped swivel bracket. You do not need<br />

any tools for mounting the swivel bracket; it has got just one handheld screw, so you cannot lose any<br />

parts. To put the M6 on a speaker stand, you have to use the swivel bracket, there is no speaker<br />

stand cabinet flange on it, it would make the speaker a lot bigger. With the swivel bracket you can<br />

easily mount it is very stable. For a better sound it is anyway good to use a swivel bracket, where you<br />

can change the angle. The M6 is available in all RAL colors, and you can use it with every amplifier.<br />

There is a padded carrying bag for two M6, or a case for four M6 available.<br />

Conclusion: The M6 is slightly bigger than a small HIFI or Studio Monitor speaker, has got high gain<br />

capability (119 dB), and is a valuable gain for a lot of professional PA applications. The sound, the<br />

frequency response above 80Hz and the loudness can be called gorgeous.


<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> M8<br />

M8, compared to the M6, gives through its bigger bass driver a better bass and low/mid output. Even<br />

on big distances it has got a lot of drive and sounds very direct and loud. It has got an 8’’ bass driver,<br />

and for the high frequencies an 1’’ driver with a horn with 90x60 degrees emission angle (rotatable<br />

for horizontal or vertical application).<br />

You can use it for all kind of applications; it is a real multifunctional speaker.<br />

It is suitable for Monitoring purposes (e.g. singers, Keyboarders, Guitarists and wind section<br />

musicians) and has got two different setup angles, that musicians have got the sound in the ear, not<br />

on their knees, even on small stages. The M8 is available as left and right side version for stereo<br />

monitoring.<br />

It is excellently suited as small Center, Side/Near fill and Delay line Speaker. If you want to use it for<br />

speeches and background music for installed and mobile sound, you do not need a subwoofer. You<br />

can find the M8 in a lot of international congress centers.<br />

Further on you can use the M8 as a powerful top speaker in combination with the B15/S15<br />

Subwoofer. Because of its small size and weight, this system is perfectly suited for small bands,<br />

mobile DJs and artist groups. It is very easy to handle and fits in every car. It suits acoustically<br />

perfectly in bars, clubs, multipurpose halls and in multimedia rooms. You can choose whether you<br />

want to use the system with the integrated crossover with just one amplifier channel per side, or<br />

with to stereo amplifiers active separated with a better audio performance.<br />

The M8 has got 8Ω resistance, so you can use up to 4 loudspeakers with a single stable 2Ω amplifier<br />

channel. Further on it has got 4 Speakon plugs, a solid carrying handle on the backside 8 M10 nuts for<br />

installation and flying purposes, or mounting the L-­‐shaped swivel bracket and 2 M6nuts. You do not<br />

need any tools for mounting the swivel bracket; it has got just one handheld screw, so you cannot<br />

lose any parts.<br />

It has got a speaker stand cabinet flange, it is available in all RAL colors, and you can use it with every<br />

amplifier. There is a padded carrying bag for two M8 and a case for four M8 available.<br />

Conclusion: The M8 is a multipurpose speaker. You can use it as live monitor, for speeches,<br />

background music, near/side fill, center, delay line, or in combination with a subwoofer as a PA, it is a<br />

very small sized Top. E.g. in the Austria Center Vienna, there are more than 100 M8 since a few years<br />

in usage.<br />

<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> M10<br />

M10 has got a newly developed 10’’ neodymium speaker (with a lot of low mids) and a 1.4’’ high<br />

frequency driver. Most of 10’’ speaker on the market have an one inch high frequency driver, but an<br />

1.4’’ high frequency driver is a lot more direct and has a lot more power.<br />

The M10 is perfectly suited as monitor because of its directness and power. In combination with<br />

B15/S15 or B30/S30 it is an excellent choice for a small to middle seized PA. We mostly use the M10<br />

in combination with one or two B15 or one B30 on each side.


The size is very compact (505 x 300 x 280 mm), so it’s perfect for near fill, side fill, delay line or center<br />

speaker on high class and gala events.<br />

The U-­‐shaped swivel bracket can be mounted without tools, for horizontal flying usage, there are<br />

three bars integrated. Further on it has got a cabinet flange and two metal Speakon plugs. On the top<br />

and the bottom, the M10 has got carrying handles, which make it easy to carry 14kg. For transport,<br />

there are double padded bags for one and cases for two M10 available.<br />

The M-­‐series speakers are constructed for flexible, multifunctional usage, and can be used with every<br />

standard amplifier (linear, without DSP-­‐settings and EQ). The linear frequency response makes them,<br />

compared to other high end speakers to an affordable solution, where no system amplifier is needed.<br />

We often use them with the four channel Powersoft M50Q amplifier, which has got 8kg and 1250W<br />

on 4Ω. The Powersoft K3DSP system amplifier has pre-­‐configured settings like M10 full range, M10<br />

mid/high range or M10 Monitor.<br />

It is available in all RAL colors, and for monitoring purposes as left and right version.<br />

Conclusion: The M10 is a powerful speaker, even without a subwoofer, for all usages, where the M8<br />

has not enough low/mids or simply is not loud enough, and the M12 would be too big and heavy.<br />

<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> M12/M15<br />

M12 has got a 12’’ Neodym Bass and the M15 has got a 15’’ Neodym Bass, both have got an 1.4’’<br />

driver for high frequencies and a rotatable 75x50 horn. Both Top speakers are recommended for PA<br />

and Monitoring.<br />

They deliver an ‘in the face’ sound, and they are in left and right version available (e.g. for stereo<br />

monitoring). If the drummer needs a lot of pressure on stage, you can add an B15/S15 sub. The M15<br />

is a full range speaker; you do not need a separate sub for powerful linear sound on the stage.<br />

The M12 has got less low frequency as the M15, but it is a bit louder, and a bit more direct. In<br />

combination with B15/S15 or B30/S30, it is an excellent choice as top for PA application. We often<br />

use it with a distance rod on one or two B30 on each side. A sound technician can setup this PA in<br />

between 5 minutes.<br />

With one Powersoft K3DSP amplifier you can use up to 8 M12 and 8 B30, with only 230V/16A. The<br />

M12 is a good choice for speeches or delay line. For locations with difficult acoustical properties (or<br />

for flying purposes) there are U-­‐shaped swivel brackets available, and mounting is possible without<br />

tools; you cannot lose any screws or whatever. There are two speakon plugs, an cabinet flange for<br />

mounting it on a speaker stand and three flying bars integrated, even for vertical mounting.<br />

M12/M15 have got two carrying handles (at the top and the bottom), which make them very easy to<br />

carry them. The M12 has got 21kg; the M15 has got 26kg.<br />

There is a padded carrying bag and a case for two M12/M15 available.<br />

The M-­‐series speakers are flexible multifunctional speaker which can be used linear with every<br />

amplifier without any DSP or EQing. The very linear frequency response design of the speakers is a


ig advantage, compared to other high class speakers, which can only be used with system<br />

amplifiers.<br />

We often use the M-­‐series speakers with the Powersoft M50Q amplifier (1HE, 8kg, 4 channels with<br />

each 1250W on 4Ω, without DSP), or with the Powersoft K3DSP system amplifier for a even better<br />

acoustical performance.<br />

Both Speakers are available in all RAL colors.<br />

Conclusion: If you need a full range speaker or a monitor with gorgeous linear sound, than you<br />

should choose the M15; if you need an extremely loud and direct monitor and a compact top, than<br />

you will find the solution in the M12.<br />

<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> C15<br />

C15 is a coaxial 2-­‐way monitor. Its low profile chassis suits perfectly on every stage. The grill is very<br />

solid, musicians can even stand on it, and it does not any harm to the speaker.<br />

Its big, BEM-­‐optimized mid-­‐high frequency horn is derived from the tried and trusted horn used in<br />

the M12 and M15. The nominal dispersion angle of 70 x 55 degrees gives a sound field that can be<br />

used optimally and even be turned by 90 degrees if need be. The C15’s passive crossover network<br />

brings the two paths together in an especially accurate, phase-­‐coherent way. And the really low<br />

crossover frequency of the middle-­‐high driver makes the C15 sound even more direct in the all-­‐<br />

important speech range. Even on standard amps without DSP, you have got an almost linear<br />

frequency response (+/-­‐1,5dB variance); best prerequisites for high end live monitoring. Its coaxial<br />

construction means, too, that every sound comes from the exact centre of the C15. No matter where<br />

you’re standing or how you’re moving on the stage. The specially-­‐developed 15” chassis together<br />

with the housing and the generously-­‐dimensioned bass reflex channels ensure definitive bass<br />

reproduction directly coupled with the floor and with a punch you can feel.<br />

Like the M10, M12 and M15, the C15, too, has the tried and trusted flight rails. Using Air cargo<br />

Double stud fittings or the swivel brackets specially developed for it, the C15 can be mounted<br />

without difficulty as a top unit and – as usual with us -­‐ no tools are needed for the bracket mounting<br />

and there no parts that can get lost. A stand flange is integrated directly into the housing as well. And<br />

of course it goes without saying that the C15, like all our products, is extremely easy to handle using<br />

the ergonometric handles let into the sides. There is a 60 x 60 cm double case available.<br />

The C15 is a flexible multi functional speaker to use with every standard amplifier without DSP or EQ.<br />

We often use the M-­‐ and C-­‐series speakers with the four channel Powersoft M50Q amplifier (1HE, 4x<br />

1.250W/4Ω, 8kg). If you use the two channel system amplifier Powersoft K3 DSP, you can choose<br />

between different settings like Full range, Mid/High or Monitor. For usual monitoring, it is quite cost<br />

efficient to use the M50Q, if you need extremely loud monitors, it is better to use the K3 DSP.<br />

Conclusion: The C15 is a high-­‐performance monitor which can also be used multi-­‐functionally and,<br />

like our other products, can be optimally combined with all other <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> speakers. At last there is


a coaxial monitor on the market, which not only is extremely loud and feedback resistant, it also<br />

catches on and has got pure direct sound. You are welcome to test the C15.<br />

<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> B15/S15 Sub<br />

Both subwoofers (B15/S15) have got a 15’’ Speaker in a bass reflex cabinet.<br />

There are three differences:<br />

1. S15 has got integrated bars for flying purposes, perfectly suited for VERA10 line array ground<br />

stacking<br />

2. S15 has got poly coated cabinets (scratch and water resistant)<br />

3. S15 is horizontally, B15 is vertically mounted<br />

Both (B15/S15) have got plastic covered membranes, for better resistance against wind and weather.<br />

They can be stacked; you do not even need to change the DSP settings.<br />

You can use them with every standard amplifier (without DSP and EQ). There is an optional passive<br />

crossover available (built inside the speaker), which provides the separation to the M-­‐series tops. E.g.<br />

the B15/S15 crossover combined with M8 allows to be powered by only one amplifier channel on<br />

each side in passive mode. There are two switches on the B15/S15 crossover, one to switch between<br />

active (sub is powered on +2/-­‐2) and passive (sub is powered on +1/-­‐1) mode, and one to switch to<br />

the third Speakon plug (behind the crossover which lets the mid/high frequencies pass to the M8<br />

Top). We often use an M8 Top with B15 Sub, one M12/M15 with 1-­‐3 B15, and 2-­‐4 VERAs with 2-­‐3<br />

S15.<br />

The B15 has got 2 carrying handles, which make the 23kg, slightly bigger than 15 inch speaker, easy<br />

to carry around. On the top it has got a M20 thread for mounting a distance rod. There is a dolly with<br />

or without wheels and a padded protection cover available.<br />

The sub has got 4Ω, the Top has got 8Ω, so the sub always gets double power, which makes a nice<br />

proportion between bass and high/mids. If you use a M8 with the internal B15 crossover, you have<br />

got a total resistance of 2,5 Ω.<br />

Conclusion: The B15 convinces immediately, compared to a lot of other Subs, it is very precise, fast<br />

and direct. The Sub is perfectly suited for small/middle sized Live Acts, Mobile DJs, Bands and AV-­‐<br />

Professionals, for fixed Installation in Pubs, Cafes, Clubs and seminar rooms, wherever you do not<br />

have a lot of space. As long you do not need extreme Bass levels it is worth to listen to the B15 for<br />

small measures, small weight and brilliant audio performance.


<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> B30/S30 Sub<br />

Both Subwoofers are 2x15’’ horn hybrid basses. The construction combines the advantages of horn<br />

and bass reflex in one chassis, which attains higher efficiency and deeper basses in a small chassis.<br />

Coupling the sound field is done through the full frontal plane and therefore reduces the usual<br />

friction and flow disturbances to an absolute minimum. The results are efficient energy conversion<br />

with low losses, controlled impulse reproduction and excellent dynamics even under full load.<br />

3 reasons why 2x15’’ speaker reach a better audio performance than a single 18’’ with same volume<br />

and weight:<br />

1. 2x15’’ have a bigger membrane than a single 18’’ � more moved air<br />

2. 2x15’’ high efficient inductors are more liable than a single 18’’ inductor � more power<br />

3. 15’’ membranes have less weight, so they are faster than 18’’ membranes � more precision<br />

We usually test newest 18’’ speaker from different manufacturers, there is a lot going on, but<br />

compared to the 2x15’’ speaker they have got less power, less efficiency and less precision.<br />

Differences between B30 and S30 (the dimensions of the chassis are exactly the same):<br />

1. S30 has got an integrated rigging system, which allows the construction of flown bass arrays<br />

– upright or horizontal, behind or side-­‐by-­‐side with Vera10 arrays<br />

2. S30 has got polyurethane coating<br />

3. S30 has got 42kg (B30: 39kg)<br />

Both Subwoofers can be combined, they have got the same amplifier settings (EQ, Limiter, etc.). You<br />

can also combine them with an BSX, two B30/S30 fit perfectly on one BSX. We often use a M12 Top<br />

with one or two subs; a T24 with two or three subs; VERA Tops with 2-­‐4 Subs, or a BSX Sub with 2-­‐4<br />

B30/S30 on top of the BSX.<br />

B30/S30 have got 8 carrying handles, 2 M20 threads for mounting a distance rod. There is a dolly<br />

(!same size as T24!) with or without wheels, another dolly for transporting 4 B30/S30 at once and a<br />

padded protection cover available.<br />

With one Powersoft K3DSP system amplifier you could power up to 2 x 4 B30/S30 (four on each<br />

channel), we mostly use 2 x 3 B30/S30 on one system amp, for having enough reserves. You can also<br />

use the B30/S30 for endfired or cardioid/CSA modes.<br />

Conclusion: The sound is compared to a lot of single 18’’ speakers dryer and more dynamic. The<br />

typical bass hum doesn’t exist on the small 15’’ speaker, even Bassdrum, E-­‐Bass and fast Synthesizer<br />

Sounds have a lot more pressure.<br />

B30/S30 are very compact high efficiency subwoofers with full sound and for major events just use<br />

more of them. The hybrid construction allows interlinking for big bass arrays. For us they are a<br />

technical masterstroke. Come and make yourself a picture.<br />

Hint: We recommend 4x4mm2 speaker cables, all <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> tops use speakon pins +1/-­‐1, and all<br />

subs use speakon pins +2/-­‐2, so you just need one cable on each side for the connection<br />

speakers/amplifiers.


<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> BSX Subwoofer<br />

The Big Subwoofer Extension BSX is a 2x21’’ neodymium horn hybrid subwoofer. The construction<br />

combines the advantages of horn and bass reflex in one chassis, which offers more power with lower<br />

frequencies. Coupling the sound field is done through the full frontal plane and therefore reduces the<br />

usual friction and flow disturbances to an absolute minimum. The results are efficient energy con-­‐<br />

version with low losses, controlled impulse reproduction and excellent dynamics even under full<br />

load. The 21’’ membranes are covered with a special plastic, to protect them against wind and<br />

weather.<br />

The membranes are incredibly fast; they are completely new developed; stiffer and lighter than most<br />

18’’ speakers! With 3,5 kW (10kW Peak) power, driven through a huge 5,3’’ aluminum moving coil,<br />

with +/-­‐ 30mm deflection, a diameter of 21’’ and all of it two times, you can move a lot of air – a real<br />

Big Subwoofer Extension.<br />

There are two setups on the Powersoft K3DSP system amps available: Full Range (27 – 120 Hz) and<br />

Infra Mode (27-­‐66 Hz).<br />

We often use them Full Range; combined with 2 T24, or four VERA10, or in Infra Mode in<br />

combination with B30/S30/L24 (2x12’’ Low Mid Extension). You can also combine BSX with other<br />

basses, or with all kind of line arry or Mid/High Tops. Every sound system sounds a lot bigger, when<br />

you attach one or more BSX.<br />

On one BSX you can stack slip-­‐proof, side by side, two B30/S30, and if you need a lot bass, put four<br />

B30/S30 on one BSX. This combination makes incredibly much bass, perfectly for huge audiences. In<br />

total one BSX has got 12 handles, which makes the 109kg even for just two people easy to handle.<br />

There are 4 wheels on the backside permanently mounted, and for protection there is a front-­‐<br />

hardcover available. One BSX has got 2x4Ω, so one Powersoft K3DSP system amplifier powers one<br />

BSX (Speaker 1 on +1/-­‐1, Speaker 2 on +2/-­‐2; with one 4 pin cable only). You also can use them end<br />

fired or cardioid/CSA.<br />

Conclusion: The BSX is one of the most high-­‐capacity and nicest sounding PA Subwoofer available on<br />

the market. They are incredibly fast, so you can use them as real full range bass. In Infra mode you<br />

get extremely high output. The combination with B30/S30 does not doesn't have to fear the<br />

competition of bigger and more expensive bass system. Using 2 BSX, one on top of the other, does<br />

not leave nothing to be desired.<br />

<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> T24<br />

T24 is a horn loaded light weighted small sized high-­‐ power top with 2x12’’/ 1.4’’ speakers. It has got<br />

107dB (1W/1m) sensitivity and a maximal output of 143dB. It isn’t a lightweight with 46kg, but<br />

compared to other speakers, it makes power like 3 pieces 12’’/2’ or 3 to 4 8’’ or 10’’ line array tops.<br />

The speaker is not only loud, even in locations with difficult acoustical situation it is still very linear<br />

and direct. High and low frequencies are separated via the internal crossover, even though you could<br />

separate them active (2-­‐way). The T24 has got 4Ω resistance; each channel from the Powersoft


K3DSP system amplifier can feed two T24. Two T24 side by side or one upon the other can be<br />

mounted without comb filter effects and provide a bigger transmission angle.<br />

There are many kinds of frames and adapters (e.g. cradle bar, box link, cradle frame, air cargo<br />

doublestudfitting, etc.) available. The U-­‐formed swivel bracket is mountable without tools.<br />

For transport, there is a front dolly available, the same one as used on B30/S30.<br />

You can’t use T24 as standalone music system; it doesn’t play any frequencies below 100Hz because<br />

of its design, you would need an additional subwoofer; for speech only events it is perfectly suited.<br />

We use the PA SYS One mostly with one T24 and two B30 on each side. For bigger applications we<br />

use one or two T24 and three B30 on each side. With two K3DSP system amplifiers you can power up<br />

to four T24 and 6-­‐8 B30/S30, and this on only one 230V 16A current line -­‐ economic and efficient.<br />

Conclusion: The T24 Top is one of the best sounding, most compact and most powerful horn tops on<br />

the market. You do not need complex curving (like line array curving). Mount them, connect them,<br />

bring them in position; and use them. It is recommended for users, who need it loud, even on high<br />

distance; you get a lot of sound for your money. Because of its high efficiency, easy handling and<br />

small size, the combination of T24 and S30 is already the choice of a lot of hire companies, sound<br />

engineers, mobile DJs and Top 40 bands.<br />

<strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> VERA10 Line Array Top<br />

The VERA10 Line Array Top is armed with 1x10’’ Bass and 2x1’’ High frequency drivers. Mostly we use<br />

them 2-­‐way active; only two system amp channels for one side of the line array with up to 8(!) VERA<br />

tops on one system amp. High drivers are on Speakon pins +1/-­‐1, Bass drivers are on Speakon pins<br />

+2/-­‐2. Our recommendation is to use 4x4mm2 cables. Optionally there is an in built passive crossover<br />

available.<br />

The line array speakers are only 50cm wide, the weight is 16,9kg per piece and there is fix mounted<br />

aluminum flying hardware, which makes the handling very easy. Two carrying handles are used as<br />

open end of the bass reflex of the 10’’ speaker. The Speakon plugs are sunk-­‐in, what helps them<br />

together with the Poly-­‐coat to make them failure safe under every weather condition.<br />

Horizontally, the VERA10 has got 80 degrees, you can twist the horn easily, then they have got 120<br />

degrees angle. Vertically they have got 10 degrees.<br />

E.g. using 6 line array tops on each side you can use 80 degrees on the upper four ones, and 120<br />

degrees on the two ones at the bottom, to have a wider angle in the near field.<br />

You can stack up to 12 VERA10 on one transport dolly, so you can transport 24 line array tops on the<br />

size of one Euro pallet; you even can leave the Speakon cables plugged. The cover plate on top has<br />

pre-­‐built hollows, to mount the flying frame. On the flying frame RF300 you can mount up to 18<br />

VERA10, or you use them for ground stacking. There is also a smaller frame SF10 available; you can<br />

use it for stacking 3 VERA10 on a speaker stand or with a C-­‐clamp on a truss.


There are different setups on the Powersoft K3DSP system amplifiers for VERA10 available (2, 4, 6,<br />

etc.). You can power the VERA10 ‘cut’ from 100-­‐16.000Hz, flat from 80-­‐16.000Hz and fullrange from<br />

50-­‐16.000Hz.<br />

If you want to use more than 8 VERA10 on one side you need two Powersoft K3DSP system amps per<br />

side (= 4 system amps for totally 32 VERA10 (16 on each side)).<br />

For me the highlight of the VERA line array system is the range of high frequencies. The efficiency is<br />

incredibly high, you do not have to decrease the mids, even if you use 18 VERA10 on each side.<br />

The smallest system is to use 2 to 3 VERA10 in full range mode, or in flat mode combined with S15 or<br />

S20 subs. S15 is the VERA flying purpose or stack bass with single 15’’ speakers, for small audiences a<br />

very nice combination. E.g. 2xS15 with 3xVERA10 directly on the stage floor or flown with RF300<br />

flying frame. 2x6 VERA10 tops with 2x4 S30 subs and 4 Powersoft K3DSP amps is the VERA SYS One<br />

and can already be used for bigger audiences, or you can use a BSX (full range: 27-­‐120Hz) with 4<br />

VERA10 (flat: 80-­‐16.000Hz) and the setup is done in 10 minutes.<br />

The more tops you use, the better and more consistent is the frequency range on huge distances. 2<br />

VERA10 can be used as usual Speakers, with 4 VERA10 you get a line array effect, using 6 or 8<br />

VERA10 you have got a perfect line array effect; that’s for all line array systems the same.<br />

If 18 VERA10 are not enough, or you just have 2x4 VERA10 available, then you can extend your<br />

system with the Low/Mid Extender L24 (2x12’’). One L24 is double size of one VERA10, makes up to<br />

135dB and halps voices, snares, git-­‐amps, synthies and bassdrums to make more pressure. The L24<br />

can be stacked or flown. It is designed for frequencies between 62 and 400Hz and has got 8Ω. You<br />

can drive up to 2x4 L24 on one amp.<br />

Conclusion: The sound of VERA10 is very detailed, direct and powerful. Seize and Output ratio is top<br />

professional. Wether you use VERA10 for Rock or Classic music, the sound convinces.<br />

Software for Line Arrays EASE FOCUS:<br />

For curving the line array we use EASE FOCUS, it is free of charge and has the VERA10 Data included.<br />

There is also new software for 3D simulations available: http://focus.afmg.eu/<br />

4 important parameters for curving:<br />

• How many tops are available?<br />

• Height of the upper top?<br />

• How far away is the audience?<br />

Powersoft K3DSP <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> System amplifier<br />

K3DSP delivers 2x2600W on 4Ω and on 2Ω stable. It has got 8,5kg, only 1HE and is 36cm deep, so it<br />

fits in almost any 19’’ case.


A 24bit/96kHz DSP (Digital Signal Processor) computes all speaker management functions like Gain,<br />

Crossover, EQ, Loudness, Delay, etc. visible on an easy to read display and editable with four heavy<br />

use buttons.<br />

The DSP has got 50 user definable presets. 35 <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> presets are on delivery already on the DSP,<br />

so you have got 15 presets left to enhance your third party speakers.<br />

You can connect the amplifiers via CAT5 with your computer to monitor Gain, Limiter, Overheat,<br />

Signal EQ, Mute, Time, Resistance, Setup, etc. The two XLR Inputs can be driven analog or digital<br />

(AES/EBU). The new KAESOP board can be connected via Ethernet to assign control data and transfer<br />

2x Stereo AES/EBU (4 channels!!!). The Speakon Outs are always delivering on +1/-­‐1, so it is good to<br />

use the APL4 panel to switch (whenever it is needed) to +2/-­‐2.<br />

The amplifiers work extremely efficient, they do not produce a lot of heat, you can power 2<br />

amplifiers on one 16A 230V Schuko current phase. The switch-­‐mode power supply is pulsing from 95<br />

to 265V, so you can also power it with only 120V. If you plug 400V or if the plug is not grounded, the<br />

amplifier does not even start. You can mount up to 6 amps on top of each other, then you have to<br />

leave 1HE free for cooling.<br />

Software:<br />

Powersoft uses the ARMONIA Software for efficient, professional amplifier handling; you can<br />

remotely control the DSP and monitor the amps. http://pro-­‐audio.powersoft.it<br />

Conclusion: Whether you use M6, or BSX, you can power all <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> speakers perfectly with the<br />

Powersoft K3DSP system amps. It is a very powerful and ubiquitous system amplifier. You do not<br />

need to carry ampracks with 120kg, you do not need external crossovers, limiters and external<br />

equalizers anymore. You save a lot of weight and space in your truck.<br />

With 2 Powersoft K3DSP system amplifiers, you can power up to 16 speakers in just one 2HE case<br />

with 17kg, driven on only on Schuko. What mor can I tell???<br />

My opinion:<br />

Speaker systems have to work around physical troubles, also <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong>. I think <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> speakers<br />

are very well engineered speakers, made in Germany with high class speakers and crossovers, built<br />

without any compromise.<br />

I recommend you to listen yourself to <strong>TW</strong> <strong>AUDiO</strong> speakers, make yourself your own picture, look at<br />

handling and road usability.<br />
