WHAT YOU MIX IS WHAT YOU GET

Dutch company Alcons has been pushing hard this year for its share of the line array market. In January we saw the release of the RR12 “building block” cabinet. Now it’s the turn of the LR24, a 3-way, larger-format line-source sound system to be used as vertical array either in stacked or flown configurations. The HF section employs the RBN1402rsr pro-ribbon driver with 14-inch voice-coil. The combination of the high sensitivity and “the unusually high” HF peak power handling of 3000W promises intelligibility and throw with ample dynamic headroom reserve under any conditions. There’s a bit of secret squirrel stuff happening – the purpose-designed Alcons RBN1402rsr driver features no less than 4 patents. The MF-section uses 4 high-efficiency Neodymium 6.5-inch midrange transducers in a symmetrical loaded configuration. The LF section consists of 2 long-excursion, reflex-loaded 12-inch woofers with carbon-reinforced cones. Alcon’s catch-cry is “What you mix is what you get” and with that in mind a dedicated web page at www.wymiwyg.info should reveal everything, or you can try www.alconsaudio.com
