Overview

The Sound Barrier CORE 82A is a compact yet powerful active line array system designed for professional audio applications. Combining advanced horn-loading techniques with a two-way configuration, it delivers impressive dynamic impact and clarity. Ideal for both touring and fixed installations, the CORE 82A offers versatility and high-performance audio reproduction.

Key Features

• Innovative Horn-Loaded Design: Features two 8″ Neodymium drivers with 2″ voice coils and a 1.4″ throat, 3″ voice coil Neodymium compression driver. This design produces a low-curvature vertical wavefront with an efficiency of 109 dB at 1 meter for a 1W input, ensuring consistent coverage and clarity.
• Wide Coverage Angles: Provides 100° horizontal and 10° vertical coverage, allowing for flexible array configurations and optimal sound dispersion across various venues.
• High Output Capability: Delivers a maximum SPL of 136 dB, making it suitable for a wide range of live sound reinforcement applications.
• Integrated Class D Amplifier: Equipped with a two-channel, 1000W RMS Class D amplifier, specifically designed to power its corresponding passive cabinets, the CORE 82P. It can also be used in a full active line array setup if required or preferred.
• Advanced Digital Signal Processing: Incorporates the latest digital signal processor and the NUCLEUS FIR by Sound Barrier™ Loudspeaker Management Software. This software features the FIR Phase Wizard, a step-by-step system phase correction mode that maximizes performance by adapting the system to its surrounding environment.
• Compact and Lightweight: Despite its powerful performance, the CORE 82A maintains a compact and lightweight form factor, facilitating easy transport and setup.
• Flexible Deployment Options: The subwoofer can be flown or ground-stacked, offering flexibility to suit various venue requirements.
• Seamless Integration: Designed to be used with the CORE 82P passive subwoofer, the CORE 82A can also function in a fully active line array setup if preferred.
