\"Logo<\/div>\n
The CARBON<\/span> series is designed to deliver powerful and precise<\/span> sound. Featuring a rugged construction and high-performance amplification, it guarantees clear, dynamic, and impactful<\/span> sound. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"CARBON15A<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

An active speaker built for the stage and professional gigs.<\/span><\/strong>
The CARBON12A is a 2-way<\/span> active speaker designed for sound reinforcement at concerts, conferences, parties, or any event calling for professional-grade sound. With amplification and DSP built right in, it works equally well for touring engineers and permanently installed venues, ready to go without any extra signal-processing gear.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

A woofer and compression driver built for power.<\/strong>
The CARBON12A pairs a 12-inch<\/span> woofer with a 1.35-inch<\/span> compression driver, for a total amplification power of 1500W RMS<\/span> (3000W<\/span> peak), a maximum SPL of 130 dB<\/span>, and a frequency response spanning 50 Hz to 20 kHz<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A compression driver built for clarity.<\/strong>
The horn, featuring an extended dispersion control zone, pairs with a polymer-diaphragm compression driver rather than a titanium one, for a cleaner, more transparent top end. Dispersion sits at 90\u00b0 x 70\u00b0<\/span> at 10 kHz<\/span>, for even coverage across the listening area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A unique design\u2026<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

A nitrogen-injected composite cabinet, lighter and stronger.<\/strong>
The CARBON12A’s enclosure is nitrogen-assisted injection molded, a process that trims weight while boosting rigidity by 20%<\/span> over standard plastic molding. The resulting composite behaves a bit like wood grain in use: its internal structure delivers real stiffness without adding mass, a plus for both cabinet strength and sound quality, with fewer parasitic resonances than standard injection-molded plastic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
+20%<\/div>\n
in resistance<\/div>\n
A design that is innovative, rugged, and built for performance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\u2026and well thought out.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\"Notch<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On the CARBON enclosure, a discreet notch<\/span> guides and secures the power cord, preventing strain on the plug and clutter around the base. This design detail improves both safety and ease of installation, particularly in mobile or on-stage setups. <\/div>\n

Connectivity and setup.<\/strong>
Two Line\/Mic inputs on COMBO XLR\/Jack connectors, auto-switching to match whatever’s plugged in, plus the Bluetooth input. One XLR line output feeds the signal onward to another speaker, a mixing console, or an amplification system, also available as a Bluetooth TWS stream. Switching power supply, 220-240V AC<\/span> 50Hz<\/span>, with a 1.80m<\/span> Seetronic power cord included.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A shape built with stage monitoring in mind too.<\/strong>
Its asymmetric shape, with angled cut sides, lets the CARBON12A double as a stage monitor (wedge), alongside standard pole-mounted use. Full-face metal grille, 3 handles (side, top, bottom), a 36mm<\/span> pole socket, 3 M10<\/span> rigging inserts, and 8 rubber feet (4 on the bottom, 4 on the sides) for a stable footing on the ground or on its side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"CARBON12A<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

A built-in DSP.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"CARBON12A<\/div>\n
\n

A full DSP, controlled from the speaker or remotely.<\/strong>
Fanless Class D<\/span> amplification (1000W RMS<\/span> for lows, 500W RMS<\/span> for highs) is controlled via a DSP accessible from the 2.4-inch<\/span> color front display or the CARBONcontrol app (iOS and Android). Available settings include mode (Normal, Live, Club, Speech), position (pole, monitor, stand), delay up to 100 m<\/span>, an adjustable high-pass filter from 20 to 150 Hz<\/span>, and a ducking function with selectable source channel, threshold, attenuation, and release time. Per-channel EQ, treble, and bass, with Live, Vocal, or Custom presets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Firmware Information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firmware version 1.0.4<\/span> comes preinstalled on CARBON12A and CARBON15A<\/a> units currently in stock. It cannot be installed on earlier versions.<\/p>\n

However, differences in firmware between two speakers have no impact on TWS Bluetooth compatibility, app functionality, or audio settings.<\/p>\n

New features in firmware version 1.0.4:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 LCD Key \u2014 locks the display and DSP (4-digit<\/span> code)
\u2022 APP Key \u2014 locks the application (4-digit<\/span> code)

A dedicated app.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
Unlock the full potential of your CARBON speaker.<\/div>\n

Bluetooth, and one app for the whole CARBON lineup.<\/strong>
Bluetooth connectivity (2402-2480 MHz<\/span> band, +8 dBm<\/span> \/ 6.31 mW<\/span>) supports simple streaming or full app control. TWS pairs two CARBON12A units in stereo (one speaker set to link, the other to secondary), with one-tap left\/right swap or mono switching. The CARBONcontrol app runs every model in the CARBON range from a single interface: each speaker or sub in your rig shows up individually, with remote access to its full set of DSP settings.<\/p>\n
