The SAXLP-12P delivers professional line array performance for sound companies, venues, and touring acts who need scalable coverage and consistent sound dispersion. This passive 12-inch line array system handles demanding live sound applications where traditional point-source speakers fall short.

Each cabinet combines a 12-inch woofer with dual 1-inch titanium compression drivers to deliver focused, powerful sound projection. The 450-watt RMS power handling per cabinet ensures clean reproduction at high output levels, while the 110 dB sensitivity provides efficient performance with professional amplifiers.

The 60° x 25° coverage pattern creates the controlled dispersion essential for line array applications, while the 55Hz-20kHz frequency response handles full-range program material without requiring additional high-frequency support. At 8-ohm impedance, these cabinets integrate seamlessly with professional amplifier systems and can be wired in various configurations to match your power requirements.

Deploy the SAXLP-12P pair for front-of-house coverage in venues up to 800 people, or use them as side-fills and delays in larger installations. Churches, clubs, gymnasiums, and outdoor events benefit from the even coverage and reduced feedback potential that line arrays provide over conventional speakers.

Connection is straightforward via dual Speakon inputs on each cabinet, requiring professional speaker cables and external amplification. The rugged birch plywood construction with powder-coated steel grilles handles the rigors of touring and permanent installation.

Seismic Audio backs the SAXLP-12P with a one-year warranty and direct shipping. Professional-grade line array performance without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue can the SAXLP-12P pair handle?

The SAXLP-12P pair effectively covers venues up to 800 people when used as the main PA system. For larger venues, consider adding subwoofers or using multiple pairs in a larger line array configuration. The controlled dispersion pattern makes them particularly effective in reverberant spaces like gymnasiums and churches where conventional speakers might create problematic reflections.

What amplifier power do I need for the SAXLP-12P speakers?

Each SAXLP-12P cabinet handles 450 watts RMS at 8 ohms, so you'll need an amplifier capable of delivering 900 watts total for the pair. Most professional power amplifiers in the 1000-1500 watt range will drive these speakers effectively. Make sure your amplifier is stable at 8-ohm loads, or wire the pair for 4-ohm operation if your amplifier performs better at lower impedances.

Can I use these speakers without a subwoofer?

The SAXLP-12P extends down to 55Hz, providing solid low-frequency response for most live sound applications including vocals, guitars, and keyboards. For electronic music, hip-hop, or applications requiring deep bass extension, adding a dedicated subwoofer will provide fuller sound. Many users run these as full-range speakers for acoustic music and add subs only when the program material demands it.

What cables do I need to connect the SAXLP-12P speakers?

You'll need professional speaker cables with Speakon connectors on both ends to connect from your amplifier to the speakers. Each cabinet has two Speakon inputs for daisy-chaining or bi-wiring configurations. Standard 12 or 14-gauge speaker cable works well for most applications, though longer runs may benefit from heavier gauge wire to minimize power loss.

How do these compare to powered line array speakers?

The SAXLP-12P passive design gives you flexibility to choose your own amplification and allows for easier service and transport since the amplifiers are separate. Passive systems typically offer better long-term reliability since amplifiers can be easily replaced or upgraded. However, you'll need to invest in separate amplifiers and potentially a crossover or DSP system for optimal performance, whereas powered speakers have everything built in.
