Amate debuts compact installation speaker
- Details
A two-way system within an EN54-24 certifiable, hexagonal-form, reinforced ABS plastic enclosure, the G7 offers power handling capabilities rated at 120 W, providing for 112 dB SPL. So a lesser number of cabinets is required for any installation, operating well within their range of capability, leaving sufficient headroom for instances where higher output may be required.
In addition to its Amate Audio cabinet design, features include the high-performance 6.5” carbon-fibre woofer and 1” titanium dome, neodymium tweeter, aluminium grille and hardware, outdoor ready construction and recessed connector panel with ergonomic protective cover, and integrated U-bracket mounts for the supplied wall mount. Recessed screw sockets provide compatibility with Amate Audio’s SP-6N wall mount for dual-axis orientation.
The -range frequency response from such a compact design, is the result of a complex internal architecture that includes a custom designed HF phase plug and flare, and a bass-reflex port extending the LF response of the genuine carbon-fibre coned woofer. This remarkable 6.5” transducer provides an output and LF response equivalent to a normal 8” driver. A second order crossover network ensures that response across the full frequency range is smooth.
From the perspective of an installer or AV integrator, a significant design feature is that both standard low impedance and 100V line applications are possible with the same model. Simply unscrewing the rear connector plate and replacing it with a T-G7 transformer plate enables the G7 for 100V line applications with switchable 5 W / 10 W / 20 W / 40 W power settings.
Amate Audio head of sales, Jordi Amate says: “We did not want to come to this product sector just with a similar look and equivalently spec’d performance. With the G7 we have something else, something more; something that ultimately allows installers to offer a better customer experience. For sure, this is the highest quality to price ratio yet achieved with a plastic cabinet.”
The G7 is scheduled for release in June and will be available in white, black and titanium colour schemes.
