The ACS-8P (Passive crossover) employs a large format HF horn driven by a 2" (51mm)
fluid treated compression driver, mated with a rugged 15" (380mm) LF cone driver. This fully
arrayable loudspeaker can fill the largest churches, theaters, sports venues, convention
centers and theme parks with clean, articulate sound. Large systems may be easily built
up from multiple ACS-8 units, resulting in well behaved arrays that can provide high level
coverage in vast spaces.

POWER
The ACS Controller consists of a MAIN FRAME which accepts
four voicing modules. Modules are available for each of the
different ACS loudspeaker types, with two module bays required
for bi-amplified speakers. The controller provides factory-set
equalization curves to smooth the response, protective limiting,
and active crossovers (for bi-amplified models and subwoofers).
Inputs and outputs are available with either XLR connectors or
barrier strips. Mic input & EQ modules are also available.
