January 22, 2001EV (Electro-Voice) is demonstrating the audio controller at Winter NAMM, Booth #6778/Demo Room #205. The ACone performs crossover, high-pass filtering and equalization functions for optimizing loudspeaker systems, including amplifiers. The ACone audio controller is designed to optimize sound systems that employ full-range systems with subwoofer(s) mono and stereo sub outputs provided.
"Some of the most dynamic and exciting music is in the DJ and mobile sound markets," says Tom Gillespie, EV technical sales manager. "The ACone really shines in the bass-intensive music prominent in techno, hip-hop, rap, industrial and virtually any full-range with subs application. EV incorporated a newly designed crossover function [pat. pend.], EV’s variable high-pass and LPN low-pass-notch [optimizes bass response] combined with equalization to create the ACone. It’s a real problem solver. You’ve got to hear it to believe it!"
The ACone does not require the user to know complex details about crossover functions and equalization. It has excellent dynamic range of more than 117 dB and maintains an extremely low noise floor. The crossover function, joined with filter and EQ functions, eliminate the often-complained about "lack-of-punch-and-definition." Outstanding performance and affordable pricing make the ACone an advantageous alternative to conventional crossovers, filters and EQ components.
