The B-52 Matrix 2000 Speaker Sound System consists
of 2 - 12" 2-way speakers, an 18" subwoofer with a 3-channel amplifier,
and circuitry housed in a separate compartment on the sub unit's back.
A 600W amp drives the subs, and 2 - 300W amps drive the 2-ways. All of
the components are matched for the best possible sound and balance with
minimal tweaking. All you have to do is connect the Matrix 2000 system
components, plug in the power cord, plug in your mixer or other sound
source, and you're ready to go!
The B-52 subwoofer enclosure is
divided into 2 separate compartments. The front chamber serves as the
cabinet for the cast-frame, 4" voice coil and 18" subwoofer. The rear
chamber houses all of the system's electronic circuitry, which includes
the amplification for all 3 components, power supply, compressor, and
preamps. The subwoofer has a power handling capability of 600W and a
nominal impedance of 8 ohms.
Each 12" 2-way Matrix 2000 speaker
is loaded with a B-52 custom-designed 12" woofer and a 1" titanium
diaphragm compression driver, mounted to a 90° x 40° constant
directivity horn. The speakers can be pole mounted, used as stage
monitors, or flown with built-in 3/8" 16 TPI hardware for permanent
installations. For transport, they mount onto the subwoofer's front
grille.
Transporting the Matrix system is easy: Move the
subwoofer onto its casters and place the included cover over the
subwoofer. Next, pull the included covers over the satellite speakers
and close the zippers. It is recommended that you transport the
subwoofer and satellites separately. You may transport all the
components at the same time by placing the satellite speakers onto the
subwoofer's front panel facing down. Secure the satellite speakers to
the subwoofer with the included locking strap by fastening it to the
bar handles on the side of the subwoofer cabinet.
The B-52
Matrix 2000 Speaker Sound System has a limited lifetime warranty on
cabs and compression drivers; 5-year warranty on speakers; 2-year
warranty on amplifiers.
