Based on the famous 1031A near field monitor, the 1032A offers extended low frequency response and an increased maximum SPL. Due to its compact size, this system is ideal for high power near field moni- toring. Furthermore, it is well suited to general purpose broadcasting applications, TV control rooms, mobile vans and CD mastering as well as home studios.The unique Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) Technology used provides excellent stereo im- aging and frequency balance even in difficult acoustic environments. The fast, low distortion amplifiers are capable of driving the stereo system to peak output levels inexcess of 124 dB SPL at 1 m with program signals. Versatile crossover controls allow for precise matching of the speaker system to different acoustic condi- tions. The system can be used in both vertical and horizontal orienta- tion by simply rotating the DCW unit.INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTIONThe system is very easy to use as only mains power and input signal are needed. Uniform performance is obtained through the integration of the loudspeakers and amplifiers as a complete matched and cali- brated package. The rugged am- plifier is mounted into the enclosure with vibration isolators which also act as quick release hinges making maintenance operations very easy and straightforward. The speaker cabinet is constructed of veneered MDF, which is heavily braced to eliminate structural resonances.AMPLIFIERSThe bass and treble amplifiers each produce 180 W and 120 W respec- tively of short term power with very low THD and IM distortion. Special attention has been paid to the elec- tronic design to ensure the highest subjective sound quality currently possible. The system incorporates special circuitry for driver overload protection. Thermal protection is included for the amplifiers.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ! ? ? ? ! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?“#$? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? % ? ? ! ? ? ? ? & ? ? ? ? ? ?Gen 1032A Data Sheets22.6.2000, 17:372The upper curves show the effect of the bass tilt control on the free field response.

MUTE disconnects the channel for testing.The reference axis lies between bass and tweeter drivers.OptionsDRIVERSThe bass frequencies are repro- duced by a 250 mm (10“) bass driver loaded by a 24 litre vented box. The -3 dB point is 40 Hz and the low frequency response ex- tends down to 36 Hz.The high frequency driver is a 25 mm (1“) metal dome, with pistonic behavior upto 23 kHz, is loaded by a proprietary DCW. Both drivers are magnetically shielded for appli- cations where the stray magnetic field must be minimized.CROSSOVER FILTERSThe crossover frequency of the active crossover is 1.8 kHz. In order to obtain uniform frequency balance in differing acoustic condi- tions, special calibrated controls are included in the crossover. Three such controls are at the users dis- position including treble and bass tilt, and bass roll-off switch. Each of these controls allow for adjustment in 2 dB increments and also pro- vide the possibility of muting the channel for test purposes. A high pass filter is included in the LF channel to protect the woofer from subsonic signals. The crossover network is driven by an active bal- anced input stage. Variable input sensitivity allows for accurate level matching to the mixing console.The tweeter driver is mounted in a DCW to match the dispersion characteristics to that of the bass driver. The DCW may be rotated for horizontal or vertical mounting.DCW TECHNOLOGYThe revolutionary Directivity Con- trol Waveguide Technology is a mea
