MacPherson to Introduce Their PC12 Loudspeaker at NSCA 2002

MacPherson, Inc., manufacturers of high-performance professional loudspeaker systems, will introduce their PC12 Loudspeaker at NSCA Expo 2002 in booth #918. With the introduction of the PC12, MacPherson moves in a new direction. This full-bandwidth loudspeaker brings studio monitor clarity to the sound reinforcement arena ­ at an affordable price.

Dynamic High-Fidelity
The PC12 offers true high-fidelity performance in a compact enclosure. Its two-way design incorporates a sophisticated crossover network. This allows a single amplifier channel to produce high sound pressure level (SPL) with minimum frequency and phase distortion. The PC12 delivers extended low frequency (LF) performance, typically not found in compact size cabinets. Internal components include a 12-inch woofer and a 1-inch high frequency (HF) compression driver that is coupled to a constant directivity horn. A HF response pattern of 60 degrees horizontal by 50 degrees vertical is created.

Designed for a Variety of Applications

With its high SPL capability, the PC12 is the ideal solution for a wide range of live and playback sound reinforcement applications. It will perform consistently well, whether stand-mounted, wall-mounted, suspended or sitting on a flat surface. The PC12's small front profile (21.7 inches high x 14.4 inches wide x 15.3 inches deep) is designed to minimize obstruction of sight lines.

Key Features of the PC12 include:

• Outstanding vocal and music reproduction
• High SPL with extended low frequency performance
• Integrated pole cup for stand mounting
• Multiple suspension points

"Bandwidth and clarity that's the core of the PC12," according to Gordon Kapes, president of MacPherson, Inc. "We've incorporated studio monitor features into a sound reinforcement loudspeaker. I don't think there's anything on the market at this price point that offers this level of audio performance."
