Crate PowerForce P.A. Systems
July 7, 1999
This year at the Nashville NAMM Show, Crate Pro Audio will feature its recently
released PowerForce Speaker Series. The self-contained PowerForce Speaker systems
offer high fidelity and power handling with an impressive feature array. Versatility
being a key feature, each model can function as a self-contained P.A. system,
main speaker or monitor.
Combining a coaxial speaker and horn, the PowerForce system incorporates a
2" Titanium driver with a 1" throat for both the 12" and 15"
versions. This unique design allows for both accurate alignment of the components
and size reduction of the enclosure. A fully stocked front mixer panel offers
a 2-channel preamp including goodies like level control, 2-band EQ, phantom power,
low cut switch, a 7-band graphic EQ, and the unique PowerForce Active Bi-Amp design.
The PowerForce System also features a variety of inputs and outputs to choose
from. 1/4" and dual RCA inputs allow for a CD player or outside sequencer.
Plugging an external mixer into the direct input, a user can bypass the internal
mixer, therefore utilizing the active bi-amp system for maximum performance as
a monitor or main speaker.
Also available within the PowerForce Speaker Series is the PFRSUB. A highly
efficient subwoofer, the PFRSUB incorporates an active crossover, variable from
20 to 200 Hz. Driven by 250-watts, the PFRSUB contains a 12" dual voice coil,
and offers a stand mount for a top speaker, such as the PRF12 or PRF15.
List Prices are:
PFR12: $729.99
PFR15: $799.99
PFRSUB: $649.99
