The SAXLP-12A powered line array speaker delivers professional line array performance for touring bands, rental companies, and venues that need consistent coverage across large audiences. Built for serious sound reinforcement applications, this active 12-inch line array cabinet combines power with the precision directional control that makes line arrays the go-to choice for major concerts and festivals.

This powered line array generates 600 watts of peak power through its 12-inch woofer and dual 1-inch titanium compression drivers, delivering full-range sound from 48Hz to 20kHz with 130 dB maximum SPL. The 60° x 25° coverage pattern provides the tight vertical control essential for line array applications, while TWS Bluetooth control lets you manage settings wirelessly from your phone or tablet.

The Class D amplifier with cooling fan ensures reliable performance during extended use, while the 97 dB sensitivity means efficient power usage even at high output levels. The birch plywood enclosure with steel grille construction handles the rigors of touring, and high-intensity aluminum suspension hardware provides secure rigging points for line array configurations.

Perfect for outdoor festivals, large churches, concert venues, and touring applications where you need to reach audiences of 500-1000 people with even coverage. The line array design eliminates the hot spots and dead zones common with traditional PA speakers, making it ideal for long, rectangular venues or outdoor events with deep audience areas.

Connect via balanced XLR or 1/4-inch combo input, with XLR thru output for linking multiple units. PowerCon compatible AC connections simplify power distribution in multi-cabinet arrays.

Seismic Audio backs this line array speaker with a one-year warranty and ships it fast, giving you professional line array capability without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can one SAXLP-12A line array speaker cover?

A single SAXLP-12A can effectively cover 200-300 people in most venues, but line array speakers are designed to work in multiples for larger crowds. For optimal line array performance and coverage of 500-1000+ people, you'll typically need 4-8 cabinets per side depending on venue size and throw distance. The 60° x 25° coverage pattern means you get wide horizontal coverage but tight vertical control, which is essential for reaching distant listeners without overpowering the front rows.

What cables do I need to connect multiple SAXLP-12A speakers in a line array?

You'll need balanced XLR cables to daisy-chain the audio signal from speaker to speaker using the XLR input and thru output on each cabinet. For power, the PowerCon compatible AC connectors let you link power from one speaker to the next, so you only need to run one main power cable to the first speaker in each array. Standard XLR microphone cables work fine for the audio connections.

Do I need a separate subwoofer with the SAXLP-12A line array speakers?

While the SAXLP-12A extends down to 48Hz and provides solid low-end for a line array speaker, most professional applications pair line arrays with dedicated subwoofers for full-range reinforcement. The line array handles mids and highs with precision, while subs like Seismic Audio's powered subwoofers handle the deep bass below 80-100Hz. For acoustic music or speech-only applications, the SAXLP-12A may provide sufficient low-end on its own.

Can I control the EQ and settings on the SAXLP-12A wirelessly?

Yes, the SAXLP-12A features TWS (True Wireless Stereo) Bluetooth control, allowing you to adjust settings from your smartphone or tablet. You also have physical controls directly on the speaker including master volume, power switch, 3-band EQ, and bass boost. This combination gives you both hands-on control during setup and wireless fine-tuning from your mixing position during the show.

How does the SAXLP-12A compare to traditional PA speakers for large venues?

Line array speakers like the SAXLP-12A provide much more consistent coverage across large audiences compared to traditional PA speakers. The 60° x 25° coverage pattern delivers wide horizontal coverage but tight vertical control, meaning people in the back get nearly the same sound level as those in front. Traditional PA speakers create hot spots near the speakers and drop-off toward the back, requiring more speakers and more power to achieve even coverage across the same area.
