The ARENA XII loudspeaker is designed for use as a stage monitor.

Structurally, the ARENA XII is a system with an asymmetric trapezoidal enclosure with integrated 12” coaxial speaker and amplifier plate.

The ARENA XII amplifier module consists of two class D power amplifiers for separate connection of the HF and LF sections (Bi-Amp). The amplifiers are controlled by the powerful Marani DSP, which is almost identical to those installed in the PICASSO full range systems. The unit offers the most comprehensive tools for adjusting and changing the system parameters, including IIR, FIR and MIR filters, AEQ tool, RMS compressor, etc. Remote control is carried out via the TCP/IP or DANTE (optional) protocol.

To achieve a uniform off-axis frequency response, the monitor is equipped with a specially designed coaxial driver with a 3” coil. The cabinet geometry enables to use the monitor for both near and far sound fields.

  • Control of all MASTERS loudspeaker and power amplifier parameters can be performed by using TCP/IP and DANTE (optional) digital network protocols. A Wi-Fi access point for devices control is also available (optional).
  • Built-in MARANI DSPs, developed specifically for MASTERS, run at 96k sampling rate, and the high-frequency response can reach 40 kHz.
  • The latest signal processing algorithms, including IIR and FIR filters, as well as newly added unique MIR filters, allowing the user to change the loudspeaker sound character. The fourth generation iFIR wizard V4.0 plug-in supports automatic measurement and generation of FIR coefficients, as well as the import of FIR coefficients generated by a third-party software. A new MIR linear phase filter is added to the output crossover filter, which can avoid the phase distortion caused by the traditional IIR filter.
  • The built-in dynamic loudness filter, the working principle is to self-adaptively boost the ultra-low and ultra-high frequency bands according to the equal loudness curve of the human ear, and the boost ratio is determined by the magnitude of the signal amplitude, which significantly improves the overall hearing of the small and medium-sized loudspeakers.
  • A new algorithm of the hard limiter with zero delay is used for ultimate speaker protection against possible overloads.
  • The parametric equalizer (PEQ) has up to 16 filter types to choose from. The output crossover filters include classic Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel, Butterworth filters, unique MARANI NXF filter (Notched X-over Filter), FIR filter, and newly added MIR linear phase filter which can make the phase of the crossover point easier to join while maintaining a very low delay.
  • Setting up MASTERS loudspeakers does not require the use of additional and third-party software as all the main operating tools are provided by the DSP.
