Sound Barrier CORE 212P – High-Performance Passive Line Array Module

Product Overview

The Sound Barrier CORE 212P is a premium three-way, full-range passive line array speaker system engineered for demanding professional audio environments. Designed for touring and permanent installations, it delivers exceptional clarity, high SPL, and full-range coverage. With dual 12″ low-frequency drivers, four 6.5″ midrange drivers, and dual 2″ high-frequency compression drivers, the CORE 212P is capable of powerful and accurate sound reproduction across a wide frequency range.

Core Features

• Three-Way Horn-Loaded Design
  Offers outstanding dynamic impact with dual 12″ Neodymium woofers, four 6.5″ Neodymium midrange drivers, and two 2″ Neodymium high-frequency drivers. The horn-loading technique maximizes efficiency and reduces distortion.
• Advanced Wavefront Technology
  Midrange drivers are arranged in a planar configuration to deliver high sensitivity (104 dB at 1W/1M) and create a low-curvature vertical wavefront. High-frequency drivers utilize an equal path horn design for a flat wavefront, reducing phase interference and extending intelligibility over distance.
• Wide Coverage Angles
  Provides 100° horizontal and 8° vertical coverage, making it suitable for both narrow and wide audience areas.
• High SPL Output
  With a maximum SPL of 142 dB in the high-frequency range, the CORE 212P delivers concert-level output with clarity and definition.
• Flexible System Configuration
  Perfectly pairs with the CORE 212A powered version or can operate independently with rack-mounted amplifiers. Compatible with Sound Barrier subwoofer systems such as the CORE 218SA and CORE 218SP.
