  • Digitally controlled Class D amplifier module with SMPS
  • Designed and made in Italy

Designed to be flown with AX2010A line array modules, the SW36XFA provides an elegant solution to delivering ‘bass in the sky’ from a flown cluster, with usable response down to 36 Hz. When positioned at the top of the array its integrated rigging hardware mates with the AX2010A and the curved grille profile also matches the AX2010, forming a neat and unobtrusive cluster.

Offering impressive efficiency from a compact cabinet, the SW36XFA uses a combination of manifold and bandpass loading techniques to achieve an impressive 143 dB peak output. Its dual 18” low frequency drivers feature 4” Tetracoil dual voice coils, which have the equivalent performance to a single 6” voice coil.

The SW36XFA features an integrated 4000 watt class D amplifier module that provides convenience and simplicity of connection for concert touring applications, or will benefit larger fixed installations such as dance clubs, sports halls, stadia, and large conference rooms. It will deliver high sound presure level at bass frequencies, with abundant headroom to deliver the fast transient response that brings live performances and electronic music to life. PROEL’s CORE DSP processing ensures that the SW36XFA is capable of perfect signal integrity, dynamic range in excess of 110 dB, and superior sonic performance.

SIGNAL PROCESSING and POWER AMPLIFIERS

The system processing is based on the CORE DSP platform designed by the PROEL R&D Laboratories using one of the most advanced SHARC DSP for audio application. It features 40bit, 96kHz floating point resolution and top-quality 24bit AD/DA converters, for a perfect signal integrity, a dynamic range in excess of 110dB and a superior sonic performance. Thanks to its massive processing power, the CORE platform is capable of providing the most sophisticated algorithms for speaker processing, together with remote control and networking capability.
The PRONET control software, working on a solid and reliable CANBUS based network protocol, provides an intuitive interface for the remote control of the whole system, with the possibility of eqing, delaying, increasing the protections and monitoring the status of the amplifier.
The SW36XFA is powered by DA SERIES digital power modules, a new generation of CLASS D power amplifier with digitally-controlled SMPS.  The innovative technology used for these amplifiers (including also the use of a variable switching frequency) offers performances at the top of the range, such as a superior sound definition at any audio frequency, very high dynamics also for low level signals and very low distortion even at the maximum power The superior sound quality can be compared with top-of-the-range AB-class analog systems, while the DA modules feature a higher dynamics, very compact size and light weight and efficiency above 90%.
The DA module employed for powering the SW36XFA delivers in an ultra-compact package a maximum power of 4000W.
