The SAXLP-12P passive line array speaker delivers professional line array performance for sound reinforcement companies, venues, and touring acts who need consistent coverage across large audiences. This 12-inch line array cabinet features dual 1-inch titanium compression drivers and handles 450 watts RMS (900 watts peak) through an 8-ohm impedance.

The 12-inch woofer with 75 oz magnet and 3-inch voice coil provides solid low-mid frequency foundation, while the dual titanium compression drivers with fiberglass horns deliver clear highs with 110 dB sensitivity. The 60 x 25 degree coverage pattern and 130 dB maximum SPL create the focused dispersion pattern that makes line arrays effective for long-throw applications.

Built from all-birch plywood with black textured coating, each 58.4-pound cabinet mounts to line array frames using high-intensity aluminum suspension hardware. The frequency response spans 55Hz to 20kHz, making these suitable for full-range applications or paired with subwoofers for extended low end. Multiple SAXLP-12P cabinets rigged vertically create the coherent wavefront that line arrays are known for.

These passive speakers work well for churches seating 500-800 people, outdoor festivals, gymnasium events, and club installations where you need to reach the back rows without excessive volume at the front. Each cabinet includes dual Speakon connectors for daisy-chaining to additional speakers.

Connect to any external amplifier capable of 450+ watts RMS at 8 ohms using standard speaker cables. Each SAXLP-12P ships with mounting hardware and carries Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping across the continental US.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A single SAXLP-12P can effectively cover audiences of 200-300 people in typical indoor venues. For larger crowds or outdoor events, you'll want to rig multiple units vertically to create a proper line array configuration. Most installations use 4-8 cabinets per side for venues seating 500-1500 people, depending on throw distance and ambient noise levels.

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

You'll need an external amplifier capable of delivering at least 450 watts RMS at 8 ohms to properly drive each SAXLP-12P. Crown, QSC, or similar professional amplifiers in the 500-1000 watt range work well. Connect using standard speaker cables with Speakon connectors - the dual Speakon inputs allow you to daisy-chain multiple cabinets from one amplifier channel.

Do I need subwoofers with these line array speakers?

The SAXLP-12P covers down to 55Hz, which handles most vocal and instrumental content well. However, for DJ applications, live bands with heavy bass, or any event where you want strong sub-bass impact, adding dedicated subwoofers will provide better overall system balance. The 55Hz low-end works fine for speech and most church applications without subs.

Can I mount these speakers on regular speaker stands?

No, the SAXLP-12P is designed specifically for line array frame mounting using the included aluminum suspension hardware. These speakers don't have standard pole mount cups and weigh 58.4 pounds each, making them impractical for tripod stands. You'll need proper line array rigging frames and flying hardware for safe installation.

How does the SAXLP-12P compare to traditional PA speakers?

Line array speakers like the SAXLP-12P provide more even coverage across long distances compared to traditional PA boxes. The narrow 25-degree vertical dispersion and wider 60-degree horizontal pattern create consistent volume levels from front to back of the venue. Traditional PA speakers have wider vertical dispersion, which can create hot spots near the speakers and weak coverage at distance.
