A little bit about...Axis Stage Sound

A little bit about...Axis Stage Sound



The Axis range shares a common DNA that blends the function of a low profile stage monitor with design detail that allows pole or truss mounted options. The design recognises each products primary application and tailors the aesthetic detail towards this while maintaining a balance that ensures acoustic and functional performance is uncompromised in alternative roles. The advantage of this design ethos is that while the ultra-compact AX8 is proportioned to offer a slim profile when stand mounted, it combines this with a laid back 35° monitor angle making it equally suited to on-stage duty. The larger AX12 and AX15 are proportioned to offer a minimal profile in monitor mode but with symmetrical side angles the cabinets retain a certain elegance when pole mounted. All cabinets in the range benefit from state of the art coaxial driver technology which includes common neodymium magnet structures and delivers unhanded, point source acoustic transparency. The AX8 is a passive product using an integrated 1" exit compression driver and low insertion crossover network designed to work in tandem hybrid mode with the eFlex Q5. Up to twelve units across four sends can be managed from a single eFlex Q5.

Topping the Axis range is Axis AX12 and Axis AX15, a pair of products which benefit from a 1.4" exit compression driver and the option of being externally switched between active or passive mode. In active mode four enclosures can be run from an eFlex Q5 across two sends. Alternatively a Flex Rack can be configured to offer either six bi-amp sends or twelve passive sends. AX12 and AX15 are also available in Alpha specification for those that will only ever use their monitors in the optimum active mode.

The Axis AX8 is an ultra-compact full range stage monitor which has the option of either 35° or 85° face angles combined with the added flexibility of being stand mounted or used with an optional horizontal truss yoke. The cabinet houses an 8” mid bass unit that shares a common neodymium magnet structure with a 1” exit coaxially mounted HF compression driver. The HF offers 100° conical dispersion. The cabinet has a low insertion pad free passive network; working in hybrid mode with the eFlex Q5 networked system management.

The enclosure is manufactured from 15mm birch plywood and coated in a heavy duty polyurea finish. The cabinet front has a protective steel grill coated in a water resistant powder coat finish which has an acoustically transparent filter medium bonded to its back surface.

The Axis AX8 incorporates a top hat mount for pole or stand mounting and an M20 insert plate to attach a horizontally aligned yoke. To aid protection in transit there is the option of a padded transit cover or a flightcase which accepts two cabinets.

Electrical connection to the cabinet is via two parallel linked Neutrik NL4 MP connectors. The cabinet is designed to be powered by the Inspired Audio eFlex Q5 which will power four cabinets per output channel while also providing DSP preset functions and full networked software control of operating parameters. The Optima B210 is the recommended bass enclosure to combine with the Axis AX8 to form a fully integrated system solution. Up to six Axis AX8 and four Optima B210 can be powered by a single eFlex Q5.

The Axis AX12 is a compact full range, passive stage monitor which has the option of either 35° or 80° face angle combined with the added flexibility of being stand mounted or used with an optional horizontal truss yoke. The cabinet houses a 12" mid bass unit that shares a common neodymium magnet structure with a 1" exit coaxially mounted HF compression driver. The HF benefits from a CD horn mounted forward of the mid/bass cone, this horn offers 60° conical directivity control. The drivers are driven by a low insertion pad free passive crossover network which works in tandem with the DSP control offered by the eFlex Q5 networked system management.

The enclosure is manufactured from 15mm birch plywood and coated in a water proof and water based textured paint coating. The cabinet front has a protective steel grill coated in a water resistant powder coat finish which has an acoustically transparent filter medium bonded to its back surface. The enclosure incorporates a top hat mount for pole or stand mounting and an M20 insert plate to attach a horizontally aligned yoke. These fitments are housed within unique omni-directional handles on the cabinet end cheeks. The cabinet base features a pair of polyethylene runners and to aid protection in transit there is the option of a padded transit cover or a flightcase which accepts two cabinets.

Electrical connection to the cabinet is via two parallel linked Neutrik NL4 MP Connectors. The cabinet is designed to be powered by Inspired Audio eFlex Q5 which will power two cabinets per channel and also provide variable HF pad and EQ overlay to enhance the performance of the passive crossover network. The Q5 also enables full networked software control of operating parameters.

The reFlex speaker range includes complimentary bass options which can be combined with the Axis AX12 to form a fully integrated system solution to your audio needs.
