The alpha V-1/60 is concepted as a 3-way cabinet in a Coaxial-In-Line topology and serves as a MID-HI component in the large sound reinforcement system alpha.
In conjunction with alpha B3 or alpha B6 the recommended x-over frequency to the subwoofers is 100Hz. The recommended x-over filter transfer function is Butterworth 12dB/octave. The polarity of the subwoofer channel has to be switched to „inverted“ at the active x-over unit (e.g. DSP 260, DSP244). An Electro-Voice EVM15L Pro-Line woofer works into a LO-MID short-horn. The HI-MID frequency range is radiated by an Electro-Voice HP64S rotatable horn system driven by a DH 7 driver. The HI range above 8kHz is reproduced by DYNACORD´s HFR 2508 ring radiators with an extremely wide polar pattern. This assures a very comfortable near-field sound quality. Excellent far-throw capabilities are realized due to the Coaxial-In-Line topology of the cabinet.
The alpha V-1/60 is equipped with a passive x-over for the HI transducer and can be operated in active 2-way mode (LO-MID, HI-MID+HI) or active 3-way mode (LO-MID, HI-MID, HI). The operating mode can easily be selected by slide switches at the rear panel. Every transducer is reliably protected against critical power levels and short-tem thermal overload by thermo switches and professional halogen radiators in all operational modes.
The alpha V-1/60 connector panel is equipped with an 8-pole Speakon connector which helps to prevent erroneous connections. The alpha V-1/60 cabinet is made of high-density Mediapan. All corner joints and braces are grooved and glued. The cabinet surface is varnished in structural black. A heavy, powder-coated steel grille protects the front of the cabinet.
