Instant PA System
With just a single NEO loudspeaker system
and one or two dynamic microphones, you can
set up an instant sound system. The onboard
mixer features a Level control for each input
and a dual-band master EQ, complete with
an adjustable Low Cut lter to help eliminate
annoying breath pops and mic handling noise.
An additional lter, which we call Contour,
allows you to select Speech (for enhanced
voice intelligibility), or Music for the broader
frequency range required for the high-delity
reproduction of music. And if you need more
coverage, you can chain together as many
as you like via the convenient Line Out XLR
connector.
Low Frequency Response
The EUROLIVE NEO Series was built with
extended low frequency handling in mind.
Thanks to a tuned port, internally braced,
injection-molded enclosure, each model’s
custom-designed LF (Low Frequency) transducer
really cranks out tight bottom end. Keep in
mind that bass response varies according to LF
transducer size, so the larger the speaker, the
more bass you will be able to generate.
Why Are There Two 12" Versions
in the Neo Series?
From a technical and functional aspect, the
B812NEO and B912NEO are identical. They have
exactly the same ampliers, transducers, DSP,
frequency response and basic construction.
The B912NEO is designed for applications where
a more conservative appearance may be desired,
such as in churches, restaurants, businesses, etc.
Which One Do I Need, the 12" or 15"?
As you’ve probably noticed, we make
these in two woofer sizes. Which one is right
for your application? Well, let’s start with your
application:
• Is it spoken word in a hotel ballroom?
• Hard rock in a park?
• A folk singer or a drum ‘n’ bass act?
• Loud enough for an 18-year old, or loud
enough for your grandmother?
• Is your venue a huge auditorium or a tiny club?
First, let’s establish one thing—both
models put out plenty of bass. But physics
are physics and a 15" low frequency
transducer has almost 40% more surface
area with which to move air than a 12".
So with a 15" loudspeaker, you can move
more air with the same amount of power
and generate more bass.
If you’re amplifying a sales
presentation with a single mic in the
boardroom, or an acoustic guitar at the
coee house, the B812NEO or B912NEO
will probably be all the speaker system
you’ll ever need. But if your music has
more bass in it — or you want to crank it
up louder, then the B815NEO may be a
better choice. Up to a point…
The larger a room’s cubic volume,
the more energy is required to
achieve any given desired level of
bass. In other words, when playing
the same music in a big room versus
a small room, big room = less bass;
small room = more bass. For really large
performances or venues, you may nd
that you will need to add subwoofers to
your setup to achieve the desired level of
bass impact. But more on that later…
