2.3 Overview
The new SP12 is a high-output, full-range, 3-way point-source system designed for exceptional sound reinforcement in a wide range of applications. SP12 is a cutting-edge solution incorporating dual 12-inch neodymium LF drivers and an advanced coaxial 2-way ring radiator, coupled with an externally rotatable 80° x 45° waveguide. This waveguide combined with the dipolar configuration of the 12-inch drivers ensures controlled directivity down to approximately 500 Hz, maintaining consistent dispersion pattern. This precision-engineered technology guarantees crystalclear audio reproduction and impressive directional control. To fulfill all performance needs, the SP12 is equipped with a powerful, ultra-efficient 3-channel, network-capable Class D amplifier, providing a peak output of 3,840 W. The onboard advanced DSP operates at a 96kHz sampling rate, monitored via

2 Introduction and Overview
X-NET Software for precise sound management. An intuitive graphical interface, enables effortless control and real-time monitoring of all audio systems within a venue. The system automatically discovers and maps the network positions of cascaded speakers for seamless integration and management. The X-NET provides individual control over key parameters such as equalization, level, phase and delay and allows unlimited groups to be created, enabling multiple units to be grouped and managed collectively. The system’s automatic fallback feature ensures maximum reliability, providing input signal redundancy between analogue and digital (AES or Dante) sources. Whether used for portable applications or permanent installations, the SP12 is engineered to excel in corporate and political events, sports arenas, stadiums, houses of worship, theatrical sound reinforcement, theme parks, concert halls, nightclubs, small festivals, live band performances, mobile DJ setups, and side-fills.

4 Mechanical Configurations
4.1 Rigging and Suspension Safety
· Before rigging or suspending NEXT SP12 systems, inspect all components and all hardware for any signs of damage or missing parts.
· If you find any damaged, corroded or deformed parts, do not use them, replace them immediately.
· Do not use hardware that isn’t load rated or that its rating is not enough to handle the system’s weight with a good safety factor (5 minimum). Don’t forget that the hardware won’t just hold the systems weight. It must be sturdy enough to handle dynamic forces, like winds for example, without any part deformation. NEXT-proaudio advises customers to contact a licensed, professional engineer regarding equipment installation.
· NEXT SP12 system installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel. · Always use adequate protective clothing and equipment to prevent
possible injuries. · Only install the systems on solid, levelled ground and isolate the surrounding
area during installation and operation, to prevent general public presence near the systems. · Be sure to understand and follow all local and national regulations regarding equipment installation. · Failure to comply with these instructions may result on injury or death.
