The AE-5NC two-way, bi-amped system is identical to the standard AE-5 except that it utilizes a narrow conical (NC) horn to achieve long-throw/tight-pattern, high frequency dispersion.
Low Frequency: One Apogee 12"(305mm) permanent magnet cone-type driver is treated with a waterproofing compound, providing resistance to moisture, and enabling long-term stability of cone resonance and cone mass parameters.
High Frequency: One Apogee 1"(25mm) throat composite diaphragm compression driver is treated with Ferrofluid® for greater power handling capability, lower distortion, and control of short-term impedance rise.
Handles: Four handles designed as an integral part of enclosure (no moving parts).
Grille: Powder-coated, diamond-punched steel with acoustic foam covering.
Rigging Hardware: Four 12-gauge steel nutplates, mounted two on top and two on bottom, recessed, nominally flush; accepts 3/8"-16 thread (10mm nutplate or Aeroquip Pan fittings optional); nutplates are backed with 12-gauge steel internal brackets.
