AD Systems TouringLine

TouringLine Line-Array Loudspeaker

Precise directivity, even coverage, extended range, compact transport volumes and  predictable acoustical results – a quantum leap in sound reinforcement technology. The touringline is our current flagship product and the result of extensive research, development and optimization of all components. No detail overlooked, no demand not incorporated. The TouringLine sets a new standard in line array technology applicability. No more, and definitely no less!

The TouringLine is a powerful 2-way line source loudspeaker containing an internal passive crossover for economic semi-active operation. It incorporates a direct radiating 12“ neodymium low-mid woofer and a neodymium high frequency driver / wave former combination. The line array wave former has a nominal coverage pattern of 90° x 10°. The unique 12“ low-mid woofer provides that which is often missing in so called Compact-Arrays: bottom end. The TouringLine has thick and warm low-mids and makes very low crossover frequencies possible. For many applications it is possible to use the TouringLine without additional subwoofers.

Easy handling – fast assembly

With the proprietary “Quick-Rig” system, putting the array into service is easy and efficient: A 12-element array flies within fifteen minutes – including chain hoist, bumper and splay angle setup! By using T6 aluminium in combination with high load steel, it was possible to minimize the weight to 29 kg per element. A 6-element array including rigging frame weighs less than 200 kilograms.

Fulfilled BGV C1 requirement

The available accessories  round off the touringline system perfectly: The TouringLine dolly takes up to 12 elements including rigging frame and small parts. Its dimensions fit into the footprint of the Euro-Pallet trucking grid. The rigging frame is made of high load steel and has got detailed labelling for easy usage. The complete rigging system of the TouringLine is certified for safe rigging of up to 24 modules on one frame according to the strict BGV C1 requirements.

For optimal operation, the use of AD-Systems’ DSP and amplifiers are recommended. All necessary setups are on board, all relevant and appropriate parameters are set within seconds.
