CORE 102A

Dual 10-inch Active Line Array Module

Features

​​The CORE 102A is a 2-way system that combines line array principles with innovative horn loading techniques to produce a compelling compact line array with impressive dynamic impact. The low-frequency section of the CORE 102A is comprised of two 10" / 2.5" voice coil Neodymium drivers. The HF section is comprised of one 1.4" throat, and 3" voice coil Neodymium horn elements to produce a low-curvature vertical wavefront with an efficiency of 109dB at 1m for a 1W input. This optimal HF curvature enables the cabinet's enclosures within the array to be splayed up to 10° without introducing gaps in the HF vertical coverage.

The CORE 102A features a two-channel, Class D amplifier that is specifically designed to power its corresponding passive cabinets, the CORE 102P, but can be used in a full active line array setup if preferred. The CORE 102A also features the latest digital signal processor and the NUCLEUS FIR by Sound Barrier™ Loudspeaker Management Software. Though compact in size, the CORE 102A is a full-bandwidth system and may be used without subwoofers in many applications. Where additional low-frequency extension is required, the CORE 102A can be complemented by and is directly compatible with the CORE 10218SA (Active 18" Subwoofer) and CORE 10218SP (Passive 18" Subwoofer).

The CORE 102 system is an ideal tool for outdoor sound reinforcement, live performances, and events, as well as fixed installations in theatres, concert halls or auditoriums.

Class D Amplifier

Sound Barriers Class-D power amplifier technology packs tremendous performance operating with high efficiency into a lightweight solution. CORE102A amplifiers deliver an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and impressive audio performance. More than enough to power the CORE 102A and an additional CORE102P. The amp is constructed with a solid machined aluminum structure, which not only stabilizes the amplifier during transportation but also assists in heat dissipation. To ensure the integrity of the amplifier's components in high-temperature settings, additional cooling fans have been integrated into the design.


NUCLEUS FIR BY SOUND BARRIER

Every CORE active unit functions with the NUCLEUS FIR by Sound Barrier™ Loudspeaker Management Software, providing all of the features and flexibility required to drive and align the CORE series systems. Incorporating traditional IIR X-over and parametric EQ functions in conjunction with revolutionary FIR modes, NUCLEUS FIR by Sound Barrier™ Loudspeaker Management Software is one of the most flexible, advanced yet user-friendly loudspeaker management software in the world. The software and integrated applications transform the CORE series system from an active line array system into a transcendent and revolutionary piece of audio technology no professional should be without

FIR PHASE CORRECTION


NUCLEUS FIR by Sound Barrier™ Loudspeaker Management Software features the FIR Phase Wizard, a step-by-step FIR system phase correction mode that maximizes the performance of the CORE series for efficiency and potency by phase correcting and adapting the system to its surrounding environment/ venue. The procedure only requires an ASIO box (audio interface), measurement microphone, and CORE series line array system. The software automatically detects the ASIO box and measurement microphone when connected to the user’s PC.


Easy as 1 -2 - 3

Once the PC is connected to the CORE series system (via an RS485), the FIR Phase Wizard step-by-step instructions will guide the user from IR measurement to FIR calculation. The Phase Wizard automatically processes measures and analyzes the test signal produced by the CORE system to allow for the system's environmental phase correction. Once the system’s environmental phase correction is complete, users can save the data onto their PC as an FIR Phase Wizard File and/or load it onto the CORE series system cabinets. The FIR Wizard software and integrated applications transform the CORE series sound reinforcement system from an active line array system into a transcendent and revolutionary piece of audio technology.


Thinking outside the box.

The CORE system amplifiers deliver an ultra-fast attack, realistic transient response, and impressive audio performance that is more than enough to power a CORE active array module and an additional CORE passive array module. The amp is constructed with a solid machined aluminum structure, which not only stabilizes the amplifier during transportation but also assists in heat dissipation. To ensure the integrity of the amplifier's components in high-temperature settings, additional cooling fans have been integrated into the design.
