Adlib Audio Launches AA Install Speaker Range

Liverpool based Adlib Audio has launched Adlib Speakers to manufacture and market its AA brand of speakers.
Adlib has been making, installing and using the AA range for the last 15 years, primarily for its own installations and projects. The company is now planning to make the range available for re-sale worldwide.
Adlib Director Mark Roberts said: "The company is diversifying as the nature of the industry is changing. We have enjoyed great success with these products over many years…and now is a good time to use our experience and knowledge of premium speaker construction and application to expand our horizons."
A number of installations to date include the Cavern Club in Liverpool and O2 Academies in Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham and Leicester.
Bob Harrison of QMS Music has been retained by Adlib to establish an international dealer network and proactively market the AA product line.
"I am extremely excited to be working with Adlib on bringing this amazing product range to the marketplace, and I look forward to a long and very positive working relationship to establish the AA series in its own right as a leading edge option for those with an ear for quality," he said.
Currently there are four products available for re-sale in the AA range – the AA61, AA81 and AA121 – containing 6, 8 and 12 inch drivers respectively, complete with a dedicated AA12HL 12 inch sub.
The AA61 is a two-way passive system for high output applications needing a lightweight and compact enclosure. Featuring a 6.5" (165mm) Neodymium low frequency driver and a 1" (25mm) exit high frequency compression driver, its integral phase plug is mounted on a 90° conical 'wave guide' machined into the front baffle of the enclosure. The AA61 can be used in vertical or horizontal orientations due to its conical high frequency dispersion.
The AA81 is also two-way passive and designed to provide sound reinforcement from a close enclosure. It has a powerful 8" (200mm) low frequency driver and a 1" (25mm) exit high frequency compression driver mounted on a 90° x 60° degree rotatable hyperbolic cosine horn flare. The two-way passive internal crossover enables simple high output systems to be joined together... while minimising the amount of powered amplifier channels required. Its high frequency compression driver utilises solid state (PTC) protection circuitry to shield the unit from possible overload (amplifier clipping) situations.
The AA121 is a full range compact two way passive trapezoidal 450 watt enclosure, with a 12" (300mm) low frequency transducer and a 1" (25mm) exit compression driver mounted on a 90 x 40 degree exponential horn flare. Its high frequency compression driver utilises solid state (PTC) protection circuitry to shield the unit from possible overload (amplifier clipping) situations.
The AA12HL600 high powered compact 600 watt sub was designed specifically to complement the AA61, AA81, AA121 speakers and extend and increase the total low frequency output power.
