i212-M
General Description
The i212-M mobile line array is Clair Brothers
latest innovation in portable line array technology.
It incorporates an all new approach in modular
midrange and high frequency technology,
providing excellent controlled directivity. The
centrally located mid/high modules provide
90° horizontal by 10° vertical coverage and
are symmetrically flanked by the i212-M low
frequency sections. Each 12” low frequency driver
is front loaded in its own tuned reflex chamber.
i212-M enclosures are equipped with integrated
bimodal rigging including adjustable rear rigging
for a variety of live sound applications. The
rear rigging device allows the speaker array to
be adjusted from 0° to 10° at 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 or
10° increments when the line array is flown or
stacked.
Increased angular resolution is available using
Bimodal Incremental Rigging Disc (B.I.R.D.)
accessories (0.5°, 0.75°, 1.0°, & 1.25° increments
- for use in compression rigging mode only).
Clair Brothers combines amplification, and
proprietary DSP processing in permanent or
portable racks for all i-212 systems. Custom
cabling for systems is available as well and can
be pre-wired, labeled and delivered in road cases EASE GLL files are available upon request for i212
90° and 120° cabinets.
As with all Clair Brothers speaker products, the
i212-M is constructed with the finest Baltic birch
plywood and finished with a rugged exterior
black epoxy mastic finish to withstand the most
demanding conditions. The speaker grille is
constructed of high-grade 14 gauge perforated
steel and finished with a commercial grade
powder coat finish.
