MAX12 monitor
MAX12, d&b's smallest stage monitor, is a 2-way full range loudspeaker, which due to the coaxial design has a compact, low profile enclosure. It achieves a high SPL and feedback stability with remarkable vocal presence, clarity and neutral, balanced sound. The MAX12 cabinet is constructed from marine plywood, which incorporates the handles, has an impact resistant paint finish, M10 threaded inserts and a socket to accept a loudspeaker stand.
Amplifiers
MAX12 can be driven passively either by the d&b D6 or D12 dual channnel power amplifiers configured for MAX or set to the LINEAR configuration, or actively by the D12 switched to 2-Way Active mode. More detailed information on specific loudspeaker setups with d&b amplifiers is available either in the relevant loudspeaker or amplifier manuals. MAX12 cabinets may also be driven by any high quality power amplifier provided their output power does not exceed 500 Watts into 8 ohms and an additional subsonic filter (25 Hz and 12 dB/octave) is used.
