LD Systems has built upon its existing Icoa P.A. line with the introduction of the new Icoa Pro P.A. Series, which steps up from the original brand’s MI leanings as a more professional-oriented offering.
The new line debuts with two active full-range coaxial speakers—Icoa Pro 12 A and 15 A—and an active 21? bass-reflex PA subwoofer Icoa Pro Sub 21 A. Aimed at acts and DJs that want their own P.A., as well as hire companies and commercial customers looking for a compact sound system, the new line features modern connection and control options via Bluetooth 5.1 and the Icoa Pro app available for smartphones and tablets.
The Icoa Pro 12 A and Icoa Pro 15 A feature a coaxial speaker design based around a 12? or 15? woofer and a 3? HF driver. A BEM-optimized, rotatable CD horn offers 90° × 50° dispersion, while additional bass reflex ports enable the speakers to reproduce playback down to 50 Hz. The integrated Class D power amplifier delivers 2,000 W (the 12 A) or 3,000 W (the 15 A) and a maximum level of 133 or 135 dB SPL.
The two speakers feature SysCore DSP with FIR/IIR filters. A parametric 4-band EQ with various pre-programmed system presets is also available, including a low-latency preset for monitoring applications and a cardioid preset for subwoofer setups. The models can also be delayed and integrated into larger setups using a delay function.
The P.A. speakers can be aligned via the dual-tilt stand mount with a tilt angle of 0° or 5° on a 35-mm speaker pole or mounted on a truss via six M10 flying points or the LD Systems EasyMount bracket. The Icoa Pro models have a newly designed control panel on the back, with a 2.4? color display and a single controller for menu navigation.
Meanwhile, the Sub 21 A is a bass reflex subwoofer with integrated Class D power amplifier, 3,000 W peak power and 136 dB SPL maximum level, reproducing frequencies down to 29 Hz. The box includes a 21? woofer, 4.5? voice coil and a powerful neodymium magnet, all housed in an 18? format. It, too, offers SysCore DSP, which provides monitoring of the operating temperature and input voltage in addition to its limiter functions.
