The AFI-9 is a fully-arrayable loudspeaker capable of filling large churches, theaters, sports venues, and theme parks with clean, articulate full bandwidth sound. Available with a 60° x 40° mid-/high-frequency horn, the point source MF/HF section blends seamlessly with the dual horn-loaded low-frequency section, ensuring that the AFI-9 works flawlessly in any room configuration.
- Driver Complement
- Low-Frequency: Two Apogee 12 inch neodymium magnet conetype drivers are constructed of inherently waterproof compounds, providing very high resistance to moisture, enabling long-term stability of cone resonance and cone mass parameters.
- Magnet structure is encased in an integral heat-sink for long-term high-power applications, lowered distortion, and superb control of short-term impedance rise.
- Mid-Frequency: Two Apogee 6-1/2 inch (165mm) permanent magnet conetype drivers are treated with waterproofing compound. In addition, a unique baffle mounting arrangement protects the driver cones from direct ingress of water or foreign elements.
- A totally enclosed frame design isolates the back wave output from interference with the low frequency chamber and protects the cone from any ingress of particles or moisture.
- High-Frequency: One Apogee 4 inch (100mm) voice coil, 2 inch (51mm) exit horn, loaded compression driver, driven by a powerful neodymium magnet structure; diaphragm is constructed of ceramic-coated metal alloy.
- The use of the most up-to-date Ferrotec Ferrofluid® developed for compression drivers assures greater power handling capability and lower distortion, and ensures that the short- and long-term impedance rises are minimal.
