Crate Releases PowerForce P.A.

This year at the Nashville NAMM Show, Crate Pro Audio will feature its recently released PowerForce Speaker Series. The self-contained PowerForce Speaker systems offer high fidelity and power handling with an impressive feature array. Versatility being a key feature, each model can function as a self-contained P.A. system, main speaker or monitor.

Combining a coaxial speaker and horn, the PowerForce system incorporates a 2" Titanium driver with a 1" throat for both the 12" and 15" versions. This unique design allows for both accurate alignment of the components and size reduction of the enclosure. A fully stocked front mixer panel offers a 2-channel preamp including goodies like level control, 2-band EQ, phantom power, low cut switch, a 7-band graphic EQ, and the unique PowerForce Active Bi-Amp design.

The PowerForce System also features a variety of inputs and outputs to choose from. 1/4" and dual RCA inputs allow for a CD player or outside sequencer. Plugging an external mixer into the direct input, a user can bypass the internal mixer, therefore utilizing the active bi-amp system for maximum performance as a monitor or main speaker.

Also available within the PowerForce Speaker Series is the PFRSUB. A highly efficient subwoofer, the PFRSUB incorporates an active crossover, variable from 20 to 200 Hz. Driven by 250-watts, the PFRSUB contains a 12" dual voice coil, and offers a stand mount for a top speaker, such as the PRF12 or PRF15.

List Prices are:

PFR12: $729.99

PFR15: $799.99

PFRSUB: $649.99
