INTRODUCTION
AX1012P is a versale constant curvature full-range element that can be
used to create both vercal and horizontal line source arrays and also as
a high-direcvity point-source loudspeaker.
The 1.4” high frequency compression driver is coupled to STW -
Seamless Transition Waveguide, which ensures a precise control of
mid-high frequencies both on horizontal and vercal axis, for a perfect
acoustic coupling between the enclosures that form the array. The
unique waveguide design produces vercal line source direcvity with a
horizontal paern that is maintained down to approximately 950Hz. This allows to project clean music and vocals
evenly around the audience without hot-spots and dead-spots. The sharp SPL o-axis rejecon is used to avoid
reecng surfaces in the enclosure coupling plane and perfectly adjusts the acousc coverage to the audience
geometry.
The AX1012P tour-grade 15mm phenolic birch plywood cabinet is ed with four integrated steel rails, to be used for
coupling the cabinets with the KPTAX1012 aluminium coupling bars. A comprehensive set of accessories is available
for creang horizontal or vercal arrays and for ground-stacking the systems.
AX1012P is recommended for the use as indoor FOH (Le – Centre - Right systems) or outdoor FOH in small to
medium-sized events, as per its predisposion as a passive system it is ideal for permanent xed installaons from
small to large venues such as convenon centers, sports halls, stadiums and so on.
It can be used also as a complement to large systems as Out-ll, In-ll or distributed ll applicaons in a wide range of venue, providing clear sound
to areas not fully reached by the main system, while minimizing unwanted interacons and room reecons.

No internal passive crossover for ltering the signal to be sent to the LF and
HF transducers is insluded, so for powering the AX1012P the AXIOM QC2.4
4000W 2Ch Digitally Controlled Power Amplier with DSP, with a proper
preset loaded, it is required.
The INPUT and LINK connecons are the following:

PREDICTION: EASE Focus 3
To aim correctly a complete system we suggests to use always the Aiming Soware - EASE
Focus 3:
The EASE Focus 3 Aiming Soware is a 3D Acousc Modelling Soware that serves for the conguraon and modelling of Line Arrays and
convenonal speakers close to reality. It only considers the direct eld, created by the complex addion of the sound contribuons of the individual
loudspeakers or array components.
The design of EASE Focus is targeted at the end user. It allows the easy and quick predicon of the array performance in a given venue. The scienc
base of EASE Focus stems from EASE, the professional electro- and room acousc simulaon soware developed by AFMG Technologies GmbH. It
is based on the EASE GLL loudspeaker data le required for its use, please note that the are mulple GLL les for the AX1012P systems. Each GLL
le contains the data that denes the Line Array with regard to its possible conguraons as well as to its geometrical and acouscal properes
that are dierent from vercal or horizontal applicaons.
Download the EASE Focus 3 app from the AXIOM website at hp://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads secon of the product.
Use the menu opon Edit / Import System Denion File to import the GLL les about AX1012P conguraons from the installaon Data folder,
the detailed instrucons to use the program are located in the menu opon Help / User’s Guide.
Note: Some windows system can require the .NET Framework 4 that can be download from microso website at hp://www.microso.com/en-

RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS
AX1012P arrays deliver seamless coverage only to desired areas minimizing unwanted reecons of walls and surfaces or avoiding interacons
with other sound systems, with the stage or with other areas. Mulple units in horizontal or vercal array allow to shape the radiaon paern in
slices of 20°, providing exceponal exibility in the construcon of the desired coverage angle.
The AX1012P cabinet is provided with four integrated steel rails, to be used for coupling the cabinets with the KPTAX1012 aluminium coupling
bars. A comprehensive set of accessories is available for rigging horizontal or vercal arrays, for ground-stacking the systems and also for pole
mounng one or two units. The rigging system does not require addional adjustments, since the aiming angle of the array is determined only by
using the proper hole in the ying bars with the use of the predicng soware.
The following instrucons show how to proceed to assemble the speakers in order to form various type of array, starng from a simple 2 units
horizontal array to more complex ones: please read all of them carefully.
2-UNIT HORIZONTAL ARRAY
Follow the sequence below to couple two AX1012P units in an horizontal array: you can use the same procedure for assembling all horizontal
arrays. Each AX1012P has several bumpers on each side of the box that ts in the slots of the adjacent box: this allows to arrange the boxes
perfectly aligned for inserng easily the coupling and ying bars.
1) Place the box on the oor exactly under the liing point. 2) Remove the locking plate at the end of the ying bar.
3) Insert the bar in the rails from the front of the speakers. 4) Put back in place the locking plate and lock it with the pin.
5) Place the cam into the hole chosen for liing: always be sure that
all pins are rmly inserted in their posion.
6) Connect the liing system using the supplied shackle.
7) Li the system to an height that allows to insert the coupling bar
into the cabinet’s boom.
8) Remove the locking plate at the end of the coupling bar.
9) Insert the coupling bar in the rails from the front of the speakers. 10) Put back in place the locking plate and lock it with the pin.
HORIZONTAL ARRAY EXAMPLES
For more complex horizontal arrays made of from 3 to 6 units you can proceed in a similar way, assembling the whole system to the ground and
raising it up all together. The following gures show how to arrange 2 to 6 units horizontal arrays.
NOTE: remember that one PLG714 shackle is supplied with each KPTAX1012H horizontal ying bar and three PLG714 shackles are supplied with
each KPTAX1012T suspension bar.

For horizontal arrays made of more than 6 loudspeakers, as a rule of thumb one KPTAX1012H ying bar should be used at most every two or three
boxes, as in the following examples. When ying arrays with more than 6 units, it is advisable to use mulple liing points connected directly to
the KPTAX1012H ying bars, without using the KPTAX1012T suspension bars.

2-UNIT VERTICAL ARRAY
Follow the sequence below to assemble up to four AX1012P units into a vercal array. Each AX1012P has several bumpers at each side of the box
that ts in the slots of the adjacent box: this allows to arrange the boxes perfectly aligned for inserng easily the coupling bars.
The rst step before liing up the system is to assemble the y bar to the rst box. Be careful to insert properly all the bars and their locking pins,
with the shackle in the right hole as specied by the aiming soware. When liing and releasing the system, always proceed slowly and gradually
step by step, being careful to correctly assemble all the rigging hardware and to avoid endangering yourself and your hands from being crushed.
NOTE: remember that one PLG714 shackle is supplied with the KPTAX1012V vercal ying bar.
1) Remove the pins at the end of the ying bar, insert the ying bar into the rails of the rst box.
2) Put back in place the pins in their hole, making sure that they are
inserted correctly. Fix the shackle in the chosen hole and link the
liing system.
3) Li the rst box, place the second box on the oor just
underneath the rst one. Let down slowly the rst box over
the second one, aligning the bumpers and the slots of the two
loudspeakers. Note: a proper wedge placed between the cabinet to
be linked and the oor can be useful.
