It is recognized as a premium asset delivering unparalleled performance for critical installations.
Know before you buy
The MSA12X uses electronically steered sound to direct audio precisely toward the audience rather than reflecting it off walls or ceilings. This minimizes unwanted reverberation and significantly improves vocal clarity in acoustically challenging spaces.
Yes, the modular design allows you to stack up to three units vertically. This configuration increases your total throw distance and provides better control over low-frequency output.
No, the MSA12X is a self-powered system. It features an integrated 600-watt amplifier, with 50 watts dedicated to each of its 12 individual drivers, simplifying your installation process.
The unit includes a Dante network interface for seamless digital audio integration, as well as a standard XLR line-level input for traditional analog connections.
The speaker provides a wide 160-degree horizontal coverage pattern, ensuring consistent sound distribution across the entire width of your listening area.
Dual-beam functionality allows you to create two separate coverage zones from a single array. This is particularly useful if you need to direct sound to two distinct seating areas with different acoustic requirements.
