P.Audio System showcased an impressive line of ultra-precision low-frequency driver at this year's NAMM2008 Convention. In addition to LF drivers, the company offers a comprehensive range of high-performance high-frequency component drivers and HF horns.

The Woofer Series of LF drivers includes the Flagship Series, Challenger Series II, SN Series II, AM Series, E Series II and IMF Series II. "Each of the six families offers a range of products that provide different power handling levels, output capabilities and overall performance enhancements," considers P.Audio System managing director Howard Chen. "All products, in every family, benefit from the latest technology in high thermal capacity adhesive systems, cone and suspension technologies, and computer optimized parameters." P.Audio also offers a series of enclosure designs that are optimized for each loudspeaker model.

Flagship Series features a Neodymium-based permanent magnet mounted to a rigid but lightweight die-cast, aluminum-alloy chassis, a combination that is said to make the system ideal for touring sound and portable low-frequency PA systems. Available units include the FL-18LF 18-inch low-frequency transducer designed for very high acoustic output between 40 Hz and 120 Hz in touring sub woofers, high impact PA subs and permanently installed flown LF enclosures; the FL-18ELF 18-inch extended LF sub driver for operation to 30 Hz; the FL-15LF very high output LF driver with wide bandwidth for the bass and lower mid-range sections in a two/three-way designs; the FL-12LF very high output 12-inch driver optimized for vocal clarity as well as full range response; and the FL-12MB 12-inch driver designed for very high output and low distortion response in both direct-radiator and horn-loaded mid bass designs.

Challenger Series II provides different power handling levels, output capabilities and overall performance enhancements, and includes the C-18LF 18-inch driver designed to provide very high acoustic output from 40 to 120 Hz; the C-18ELF 18-inch extended LF/sub bass and subwoofer transducer; the C-15LF 15-inch transducer designed for use in two/ three-way designs; the C-12LF full-range 12-inch transducer with an operating bandwidth of 60 Hz to 2 kHz designed for use in two/three-way sound reinforcement and PA systems; and the C-12MB 12-inch driver for use with either a direct-radiator mid-driver or a horn-loaded mid-bass design.

SN Series II are compact and light-weight loudspeaker transducers, and include the SN-10MB 10-inch driver for portable systems or small enclosures; the SN-18LF 18-inch driver with a rated bandwidth of 40 Hz to 125 Hz for touring and fixed installation systems; the SN-15LF 15-inch driver for bass/vocal range within a two-way design; and the SN-12MB 12-inch transducer designed specifically for both direct-radiator and horn-loaded mid-bass applications.
