Amate Audio announces latest addition to its Nítid series

Amate Audio has introduced the N318 to its new Nítid active loudspeaker series. A 1230 x 520 x 540 mm sized, integrated, full-range, 3-way active PA cabinet, with 18” and 12” transducers, a 1.75” diaphragm horn-loaded compression driver, and Amate Audio’s on-board integrated 3rd generation Class D amplification and DSP system control platform; unleashing 3200 W of power and 133 dB SPL.

The cabinet configuration - a modern age evolution of vintage 2x15” systems - is one that Amate Audio has developed consistently over many years; the format having been a feature of its product portfolio through several iterations. The N318 offers improved specifications and several new design innovations.

A more powerful amplifier platform - 2400 W (LF) + 800 W (MF/HF) - drives a 4? voice coil 18” LF driver, 3? voice coil neodymium 12” driver, and an all-new 1.75” PM4 diaphragm HF compression driver, loaded with a long throw horn.

The mid range transducer assembly features a specially designed phase plug for the 12” driver, effectively creating two separate in phase output sources for better controlled horizontal directivity. Increased compression in the 12” driver also boosts its output.

Improved output levels and frequency consistent directivity combine with higher signal resolution and audio fidelity - characteristics that equip the N318 for wide range of medium and large scale indoor and outdoor sound applications, with equal efficacy in FoH PA and side-fill and drum-fill stage monitoring roles.

DSP system control is accessed via Amate Audio’s proprietary SensitiveTouch keypad technology (with no mechanical components or moving parts) from the rear mounted control panel with LCD display, and includes 5-band EQ, crossovers, up to 118 ms/40 m delay line, limiter, gain control, mute and input dynamic compressor. Additionally, there are powerful application optimized ‘plug & play’ presets.

The ultra-thin speaker grille design created by Amate Audio’s research team, provides robust protection but with a 67% ‘best-in-class’ perforation coefficient, offering sonic transparency. The Polyurea finish provides durable protection for the birch-ply cabinet, while electronic circuits and controls are protected against moisture.

The backlit Nítid logo can be switched off or switched to indicate when the system is limiting. Amate Audio’s universal switch mode power supply, providing 90% efficiency power supply to the amplifier circuitry, enables operation with any mains condition between 85 and 265 V AC.

At 67 kg and with its tilt and roll design - with fixed rear mounted wheels and ergonomic handles - a single person can handle and move the cabinet into position. Additionally, M8 rigging points provide for easy flying.
