AKG INTRODUCES MAXmodular AT INFOCOMM(AKG | Posted 2003-06-04)  AKG Acoustics is introducing MAXmodular, an integrated mixer/amplifier/speaker system at InfoComm 2003. MAXmodular is designed specifically for use in small mobile sound systems for public address, paging, conferencing or background music applications. MAXmodular is a powered 8-inch two-way speaker that can be either ac or battery powered for 10 to 14 hours of operation. It has an integrated three-channel mixer with a phantom-powered microphone input, a wireless receiver input and stereo line inputs for CD players or tape decks. MAXmodular also has an integrated slot for AKG half-rack WMS 80 (diversity) and WMS40 (non diversity) wireless receivers and can supply dc voltage for their operation. There are two line outputs that can be used for recording or to cascade the signal to additional MAXmodular systems.
MAXmodular's tour-grade wood enclosure has a metal stand mount built in and has an integral handle for easy transportation. The built-in amplifier delivers 60 watts peak and can drive the system to 114 dB SPL output. There is a two-band equalizer for sound contouring and a built-in limiter prevents overload and significant clipping. The speaker has a coverage pattern of 80o x 80o to allow it to be positioned horizontally or vertically with identical coverage.
The entire system weighs just 26.7 lb (12 kg), so it is easy to carry and can be mounted on a stand easily by one person.
According to Kevin Madden, AKG's market development manager for installed sound, "MAXmodular is the perfect solution for many sound reinforcement applications that need a system with the flexibility of being battery or ac powered and delivers clean, solid audio performance. The built-in 3-channel mixer and flexible signal routing make it easy to set up and use."
