Studio Monitor Clarity Comes to Sound Reinforcement

SKOKIE, IL, March 19, 2002 --- MacPherson, Inc., manufacturers of high-performance professional loudspeaker systems, will introduce their PC12 Loudspeaker at NSCA Expo 2002 in booth #918.

With the introduction of the PC12, MacPherson moves in a new direction. This full-bandwidth loudspeaker brings studio monitor clarity to the sound reinforcement arena – at an affordable price.

Dynamic High-Fidelity

The PC12 offers true high-fidelity performance in a compact enclosure. Its two-way design incorporates a sophisticated crossover network. This allows a single amplifier channel to produce high sound pressure level (SPL) with minimum frequency and phase distortion. The PC12 delivers extended low-frequency (LF) performance, typically not found in compact-size cabinets. Internal components include a 12-inch woofer and a 1-inch high-frequency (HF) compression driver that is coupled to a constant directivity horn. An HF response pattern of 60-degrees horizontal by 50-degrees vertical is created.

Designed for a Variety of Applications

With its high SPL capability, the PC12 is the ideal solution for a wide range of live and playback sound reinforcement applications. It will perform consistently well, whether stand-mounted, wall-mounted, suspended, or sitting on a flat surface. The PC12’s small front profile (21.7-inches high x 14.4-inches wide x 15.3-inches deep) is designed to minimize obstruction of sight lines.

Key Features of the PC12 include:

• Outstanding vocal and music reproduction

• High SPL with extended low-frequency performance

• Integrated pole cup for stand mounting

• Multiple suspension points

“Bandwidth and clarity–that’s the core of the PC12,” according to Gordon Kapes, president of MacPherson, Inc. “We’ve incorporated studio monitor features into a sound reinforcement loudspeaker. I don’t think there’s anything on the market at this price point that offers this level of audio performance.”
