Know before you buy
The ART-932A features a 2100W Class-D amplifier, which provides 50% more power than its predecessors. This increase allows for higher sound pressure levels and improved headroom, ensuring cleaner audio even when pushed to its limits.
FiRPHASE is a proprietary DSP algorithm that optimizes dynamics, amplitude, and phase patterns. It ensures that the sound remains coherent and transparent across the entire listening area, preventing the phase distortion often found in standard speakers.
Yes, the cabinet is designed with multiple rigging points specifically for flexible mounting. It can be pole-mounted, flown, or attached to walls and trusses, making it suitable for both portable setups and fixed installations.
While the 12-inch woofer and Bass Motion Control technology provide a punchy and stable low-end, the need for a subwoofer depends on your application. For small to medium events, it often performs well on its own, but for bass-heavy music or large venues, pairing it with a dedicated subwoofer will provide the necessary sub-frequency extension.
The ART-932A weighs 18.8 kg (41.45 lbs). Its durable polypropylene composite construction and ergonomic design make it manageable for a single person to lift and position on a stand.
The M-brace reinforcement acts as a structural skeleton inside the cabinet. It prevents unwanted vibrations and resonances, ensuring the speaker body remains acoustically inert so that the output remains clear and distortion-free.
