Features

Power Tailored for Live Performances

With its 1,500 W RMS Class D amplifier, the CARBON12A offers ample power reserves for concerts, entertainment events, DJ nights, or other events. You’ll enjoy dynamic, controlled sound, even as the volume increases.

A 12-inch driver for balanced sound

Its 12-inch woofer produces deep, punchy bass, while the 1.35-inch polymer-diaphragm compression driver delivers more precise and natural highs. You get clear sound reproduction for both music and vocals.

A comprehensive DSP to adapt to any application

You can easily select the most suitable playback mode using the Normal, Live, Club, and Speech presets. EQ, delay, high-pass filter, and ducking settings let you quickly optimize the system for the venue, event type, or your setup configuration.

Simple control, either directly or remotely

The 2.4" color display makes it easy to adjust settings directly on the speaker. You can also control multiple speakers from your smartphone or tablet using the CARBONcontrol app, available on iOS and Android. This is a convenient solution when speakers are mounted high up or spread across different spaces.

Versatile connectivity

The two XLR/jack combo inputs automatically detect microphone or line-level signals to simplify connections. Bluetooth connectivity with True Wireless Stereo (TWS) lets you stream music wirelessly to two compatible speakers, while the XLR output—configurable in Mix or Link mode—facilitates integration into a larger system.

A Rugged, Easy-to-Carry Enclosure

Its nitrogen-assisted injection-molded plastic enclosure enhances rigidity while keeping weight down. Its asymmetrical design also allows it to be used as a monitor, increasing its versatility for live performances.
