Celestion CF1230BMB 12” Driver
Suited to both bass and mid-bass applications, the CF1230BMB 12” ferrite magnet, cast-aluminum speaker offers a longer throw than conventional mid-bass speakers for more low-end when used in two-way enclosures or compact subwoofers. Features include an elastomer surround, 3” copper-clad aluminum voice coil, 700W continuous power rating, 96dB sensitivity and a 50 Hz – 3,000 Hz output frequency. A smart airflow vented magnet assembly minimizes power compression and its modified T-pole magnet assembly enhances performance via improved Bl symmetry, hence lower distortion.

Sennheiser Spectera

The wideband, bidirectional, digital wireless Spectera ecosystem uses WMAS (Wireless Multichannel Audio Systems) technology, offering low-latency bidirectional bodypacks handling both digital IEM and mic/line signals at the same time. Instead of many individual 200 kHz narrowband RF carrier frequencies, WMAS uses a single wideband RF channel for bidirectional audio transmission. The single-rack 32 input / 32 output Base Station replaces a rack full of wireless mic receivers and IEM transmitters, accommodating an entire production in a single wideband RF channel (6 or 8 MHz).
