Driver Complement:

Low Frequency:

Two Apogee 12" (305mm) neodymium magnet cone-

type drivers are constructed of inherently waterproof compounds,

providing very high resistance to moisture, enabling long-term stability

of cone resonance and cone mass parameters. Magnet structure is

encased in an integral heat-sink for long-term high-power applications,

lowered distortion, and superb control of short-term impedance rise.

Mid Frequency:

Two Apogee 6-1/2" (165mm) permanent magnet cone-

type drivers are treated with waterproofing compound. In addition, a

unique baffle mounting arrangement protects the driver cones from direct

ingress of water or foreign elements. A totally enclosed frame design

isolates the back wave output from interference with the low frequency

chamber and protects the cone from any ingress of particles or moisture.

High Frequency:

One Apogee 4" (100mm) voice coil, 2" (51mm) exit horn-

loaded compression driver, driven by a powerful neodymium magnet

structure; diaphragm is constructed of ceramic-coated metal alloy. The use

of the most up-to-date Ferrotec Ferrofluid® developed for compression

drivers assures greater power handling capability and lower distortion, and

ensures that the short- and long-term impedance rises are minimal.

The AFI-9 is a fully arrayable loudspeaker capable

of filling large churches, theaters, sports venues,

and theme parks with clean, articulate full

bandwidth sound. Available with a 60° x 40°

mid/high-frequency horn, the point source MF/HF

section blends seamlessly with the dual horn-

loaded low-frequency section, insuring that the

AFI-9 works flawlessly in any room configuration.
