NATURAL EXPRESSION: Pioneer Pro Audio Adds Two New Speakers to the Active XPRS Series
Pioneer Professional Audio is adding two models to the XPRS Series of
compact, high-powered active speakers: the XPRS10 two-way full range
speaker, and the XPRS115S single 15-inch subwoofer.
Combining Pioneer Pro Audio sound engineering heritage with the
reliable, energy-efficient power of Powersoft1 amps, the
compact, portable wooden-enclosure XPRS Series offers a plug-and-play
system that fills the room with a natural sound. The versatile speakers
are ideal for live sound, mobile DJs, places of worship, rental and
fixed installations.
Both the XPRS10 and XPRS115S feature 15mm birch plywood enclosures for a
dynamic sound that works for all musical genres. The XPRS10 has a
10-inch LF driver, a 1.75-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver and
Pioneer Pro Audio's AFAST technology, all combining to deliver clear,
clean audio with a deep bass range. Plus, the sound can be enhanced
further using the four EQ modes with built-in DSP.
The XPRS115S is the perfect complement to enhance the tight and powerful
low-end, thanks to its 15-inch drivers and a versatile crossover switch
for adjusting the low pass filter cut-off at various stages between 80
Hz and 150 Hz.
Powersoft Class D amps in each speaker deliver a massive 2400 W output,
while Power Factor Correction (PFC) ensures energy efficiency and a
reliable performance. Extra attention has been paid to protecting the
amp and the speaker, with thermal limiting, an input limiter, DC offset
removal, AC mains protection and more. Plus, the auto-ranging power
supply detects and adapts to the voltage without compromising the sound
quality, making the XPRS Series a reliable performer in any environment.
The road-ready XPRS Series is durable and easy to transport; the PA
speakers' handles are positioned to ensure the weight is distributed
equally, while the sub comes with removable castors. The wedge-shaped
XPRS10 can be placed on the floor and used as a foldback monitor for
stage performances, or it can be pole-mounted at a 0-degree or 7-degree
tilt to suit the required set-up.
The new XPRS speakers will be available from mid-October at MAPs of $999
for the XPRS10 and $1,399 for the XPRS115S.

KEY
FEATURES OF THE XPRS SERIES
1. Hardwood enclosures produce a natural sound The
XPRS speakers are enclosed in 15 mm birch plywood cabinets to deliver a
natural, dynamic sound. Pioneer Pro Audio's AFAST technology drastically
reduces standing waves that can produce a muffled response in the low to
mid ranges. An acoustic tube in the cabinet absorbs only the standing
waves, increasing the low frequency response.
2. Powersoft Class D amps for reliable,
high-powered performance Powersoft's Class D amp modules
produce 2400 W (peak) or 1200 W (continuous) output, similar to that of
larger club speaker amps. The amps are equipped with Power Factor
Correction (PFC) to reduce power consumption while ensuring reliability
and a steady performance in all environments. The auto-ranging power
supply means the XPRS Series can be plugged in anywhere in the world -
including at venues with generators or temporary power supplies - and be
expected to deliver the same high-quality sound.
3. Advanced protection features help prolong
speakers' life The XPRS speakers include several
features to protect the driver, amp and power supply to ensure peace of
mind, consistent high-quality sound, and to help extend the life of the
sound system.
KEY FEATURES OF THE XPRS10
1. High-performance drivers deliver a powerful,
full range sound The XPRS10 uses a high-grade ferrite
10-inch LF driver and a 1.75-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver
to reproduce a clean, full range sound with low distortion even at high
outputs. The newly designed compact horn sounds bright and clear.
2. Four EQ modes for a variety of
musical genres and environments A rotary selector switch
on the back of the XPRS10 give instant access to four EQ modes which
enable the speaker's performance to be tweaked for different
applications:
-
Flat: neutral production of the source audio
-
Bass +: amplifies the bass for dance music events
-
Speech: produces clear vocal sounds for seminars and speeches
-
Wedge: reduces the low frequencies to give a more balanced
sound when the speaker is used as a floor monitor
3. Wedge shape and pole mount socket
with tilt for a choice of three positions The XPRS10
speakers are wedge shaped, making them ideal floor monitors. The pole
mount socket can be set to straight or tilted to 7 degrees to direct the
sound exactly where it's needed.
4. Multiple inputs and outputs for
flexible, easy set-up The speakers have two balanced
XLR/TRS combo sockets and an unbalanced RCA connection, so a MIC and
other external devices can be connected at the same time - including
using an AUX cable to connect and play directly from portable audio
players, line-level mixers and tablets/smartphones. Each input can be
controlled individually or using the master controls for lines one and
two. Plus, two balanced XLR through output terminals enable easy
connection to other speakers and subs.
KEY FEATURES OF THE XPRS115S
1. 15-inch LF driver produces quick response
and rich low end The durable, high-quality 15-inch LF
driver and slanted baffle deliver tight, rich, and powerful low
frequencies similar to those produced by the XPRS215S dual 15-inch
subwoofer.
2. Crossover and Phase switches deliver instant
control of DSP settings The Crossover switch allows for
quick and easy adjustment of the cut-off frequency of the low pass
filter, with a choice between 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 150Hz. The phase
switch gives a choice of positive or negative polarity and prevents
multiple subwoofers cancelling each other out.
3. Multiple inputs and outputs for flexible,
easy set-up The XPRS115S has two balanced XLR/TRS combo
sockets for connecting two devices at the same time. Dual balanced XLR
through output terminals enable easy connection to other speakers and
subs.
4. Removable castors Castors on
the back of the cabinet take the hard work out of transit and set-up.
