Audiophony NOVA-12A

Audiophony's NOVA-12A is a 12" two-way powered loudspeaker designed to deliver 350 W RMS power with a dynamic peak of up to 1,400 W - ideal for events, live performances, but also for fixed installations.

Thanks to its bi-amplification (300 W class D for the woofer and 50 W class AB for the tweeter), it delivers a frequency range from 50 Hz to 20 kHz, with a dispersion of 120° × 60° and a maximum sound pressure level of 121 dB SPL. Whether for DJs, musicians, sound engineers or installers, the NOVA-12A offers pro sound, fast installation and remarkable versatility.

Power and professional sound quality

With 350 W RMS and up to 1,400 W peak, the NOVA-12A delivers a sound level sufficient for medium-sized rooms. Its dedicated bi-amplification (300 W class D for bass and 50 W class AB for treble) ensures precise bass and detailed high frequencies, with a bandwidth of 50 Hz to 20 kHz and a maximum pressure of 121 dB SPL.

Comprehensive connectivity and integrated DSP

The NOVA-12A offers two MIC/LINE inputs (XLR/JACK) for connecting microphones, mixers or instruments, as well as a mini-jack AUX input and a Bluetooth® interface with TWS (True Wireless Stereo) for connecting two speakers wirelessly. The integrated DSP offers four presets (Standard, Vocal Boost, Live, Stage Monitor) and ±12 dB High/Low settings to adapt the sound to any situation.

Ergonomics designed for stage and installation

Thanks to its symmetrical cabinet with a 45° cut-off, the NOVA-12A can be used both as a front-of-house unit and as a stage monitor. It features handles on the top and sides for easy transport, M10 inserts for hanging and a 35 mm base for rapid installation on a stand. Its dimensions of 385 × 345 × 595 mm and weight of 15.8 kg make it a compact, easy-to-handle loudspeaker.

Versatility for DJs, musicians and fixed installations

Whether for DJ parties, small concerts, conferences, bars, restaurants or multi-purpose rooms, the NOVA-12A can be adapted to a wide range of contexts. Various DSP presets and Bluetooth TWS connectivity make it easy to switch from one configuration to another, while maintaining a clear, balanced sound reproduction, even at high volumes.

Everyday robustness and reliability

Designed for regular use, the NOVA-12A benefits from solid construction and protected electronics. Its ergonomic body, mounting points and optimized amplification make it a reliable solution for service providers, touring bands or venues with year-round audiences.

NOVA-12A vs. 12" passive loudspeaker

• Configuration

  • NOVA-12A: bi-amplified active loudspeaker with integrated DSP and Bluetooth TWS
  • 12" passive speaker: requires a separate amplifier and possibly an external processor

• Power and signal management

  • NOVA-12A: 350 W RMS / 1,400 W dynamic with optimized bi-amplification (bass/treble)
  • 12" passive speaker: power dependent on external amplifier, settings and protection to be managed separately

• Settings and processing

  • NOVA-12A: integrated DSP presets (Standard, Vocal Boost, Live, Stage Monitor) + EQ High/Low ±12 dB
  • 12" passive speaker: requires an external equalizer or processor to adapt the sound

• Connectivity

  • NOVA-12A: MIC/LINE XLR/JACK inputs, mini-jack AUX input, Bluetooth® TWS for wireless link between two speakers
  • 12" passive speaker: generally limited to Speakon or terminal connectors, no integrated Bluetooth

• Installation and set-up

  • NOVA-12A: Plug & Play system, simple mains cable + audio sources, 35 mm socket and M10 inserts
  • 12" passive loudspeaker: amplifier/loudspeaker cabling required, more time for set-up and adjustments

• Mobility and transport

  • NOVA-12A: 15.8 kg, ergonomic handles, compact size 385 × 345 × 595 mm
  • 12" passive loudspeaker: often lighter, but requires transporting a separate amp

• Versatile use

  • NOVA-12A: ideal for DJs, bands, mobile performances and fixed installations with a minimum of equipment
  • 12" passive loudspeaker: best suited to modular systems driven by a rack of amplifiers and processors
