This unique modular system is incredibly compact, extremely versatile and, most importantly, sounds fantastic. A full Imperio Pro system, comprised of IMP205 array modules alongside the new IMP118 sub cabinets, will provide the main PA for the outdoor ADJ Arena Plaza Stage at NAMM 2023. Throughout the show, an eclectic lineup of musicians will perform on the stage, demonstrating the full sonic capabilities of the Imperio Pro system.
Intended for easy transportation and very fast setup, the Imperio Pro IMP205 is a lightweight, high output active line array element that can be utilized in a variety of different configurations – both ground-stacked and flown – to cover a wide range of applications and audience sizes. Combining high quality neodymium components with Class-D digital amplifier modules and advanced 32-bit internal signal processing, it delivers unrivalled audio fidelity and deployment flexibility for a speaker of its size. Measuring just 12.8″ x 7.3″ x 8.8″ (324mm x 184.8mm x 224mm), this compact array module packs in a pair of 5” neodymium low-mid transducers alongside six 1.75” IDVAT (Inverted Dome Vertical Array Technology) high frequency drivers. This configuration allows the unit to deliver a broad frequency response of 100Hz – 20KHz with a wide horizontal dispersion angle of 100⁰. The unit’s internal Class D 2-way amplifier has a PFC switching power supply and is rated at 440W RMS (1700W peak), which allows it to deliver an impressive maximum output of 128dB (single box measured on Axis @ 1m).
The ability of the small but mighty Imperio Pro IMP205 to deliver the necessary audio reinforcement for a medium-sized outdoor stage will be showcased on the Arena Plaza Stage at NAMM 2023, which is sponsored by AVANTE Audio’s sister company, ADJ. Array hangs of eight modules per side will provide the main PA for the stage, paired with 16 of AVANTE Audio’s new IMP118 sub cabinets, which will make their debut at the show. Additional Imperio Pro speakers will also be used for the stage’s delay towers, while onstage foldback will be covered by AVANTE Audio’s Achromic Series active loudspeakers.
Designed specifically for use alongside IMP205s, the brand-new Imperio Pro IMP118 active sub bass speaker features a high power 18” driver with a 4” voice coil driven by a 2400W RMS Class-D amplifier. Offering inbuilt DSP for customizable crossover frequencies and selectable coverage patterns (omni, cardioid or end fire), this attractive new sub offers powerful and punchy low frequency reproduction from an easily portable cabinet. Constructed from 10-ply 15mm birch with a black polyurea finish and powder coated steel grille, the road ready cabinet is fitted with a pair of recessed handles, interlocking skid feet, rubber rear feet and convenient in-built EZ-Stacking hardware to allow multiple cabinets to be securely locked together when positioned on top of one another.
