The Nowsonic Stagetrip 12 is an active mono speaker offering considerably better directivity thanks to a coaxial arrangement of the woofer and the tweeter. The on-axis audio output improves source location and also considerably minimizes unwanted effects caused by phase cancellation or addition. The Stagetrip 12 features a 12" woofer plus a 1."35 titanium dome tweeter; the internal bi-amping power amplifier provides 400 watts for the woofer and 100 watts for the tweeter. Thanks to its enclosure design and the speaker-stand mount adapter, you can use the Stagetrip 12 as a floor wedge for monitoring purposes or as a full-range speaker for front-of-house (FOH) applications. When mounting the speaker onto a stand, the power amplifier will be positioned at the bottom, thus improving protection against humidity and dirt. On the input side, the Stagetrip 12 accepts line signals (from a mixing console, a CD player, etc.). In addition, you can connect a dynamic microphone after adjusting the input sensitivity using a dedicated switch. A high-pass filter can be engaged to increase intelligibility. The Stagetrip 12 also has output sockets for audio and power pass-through.
