DUKE STARTER Line Array set active self powered

FAVO DUKE STARTER

The Duke Starter is an entry-level hybrid active Line Array set. It consists of four D181 Modules mounted on complementary speaker pole platforms and two active LA3c subwoofers. This kit is ready to use and can be easily expanded with additional Line Array and subwoofer modules in the future.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The smallest set from the mobile Line Array group, based on two passive Bi-Amp Duke D181 modules per side and two active LA3c subwoofers (hence hybrid active).

If you are considering a larger system and planning to expand your LA setup in the future, this is the ideal starting point. The system is designed for DJs and bands who are considering growth and increasing the size of their audiences.

In the presented configuration, it provides excellent sound in halls (including acoustically challenging ones) due to it's very focused vertical dispersion pattern and small outdoor venues up to 20m. It is fully scalable, meaning it can be expanded to full Duke MAX (and beyond with our ampracks). The DSP processors built into the subs can be interconnected via Ethernet and remotely controlled, enabling group operation of the DSPs.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY SYSTEM ELEMENTS TO MAKE A LARGER EVENT. CHECK THE RENTAL NETWORK IN YOUR AREA.

Similar to smaller VMS sets, we have integrated power amplifier with DSP in two LA3c subwoofers (active MBR118 with a purpose for driving LA systems). The D181 Duke modules operate in Bi-Amp mode. This solution provides suitable filter selection, protections, as well as advanced control options delivering excellent sound quality without compromises in ergonomics, mobility, and ease of use.

THE SET INCLUDES:

4x Duke D181 Line Array modules, right and left, wide and narrow (110° and 80° horizontal directivity)
Two active LA3c basses with integrated 3-channel amplifier with 4100W power, featuring a built-in control processor. EQ, Delays, and remote operation via Ethernet and provided software.
Complete wiring - Neutrik Speakon speaker cords and Powercon power cords
Two D181 platforms for mounting LA modules on a stand
covers made of hard cordura with company logo
Dollies that can be attached to the front of MBR Subwoofers - ideal for transport
one transport wheel platform for 4x D181 modules
