BASSBOSS AT312-MK3 Triple 12″ Three-Way Powered Top Loudspeaker

The BASSBOSS AT312-MK3 is a high-output 3-way active coaxial point-source cabinet. Its relatively lightweight and low-profile design delivers astonishing sound quality and symmetrical coverage in any orientation for medium to short distance coverage, where a small footprint and very high fidelity are required.

The amplifiers and DSP feature powerful 96kHz processors with pristine sound quality and eight touch-of-a-button onboard presets. The state-of-the-art asymmetrical Class-D amplifier provides a true 4,100 watts of RMS power and features enhanced power allocation between the HF and LF drivers, thus offering exceptional dynamic resolution and detail along with precise control and low current draw. The fully integrated and comprehensive digital processing ensures smooth response and reliable operation thanks to meticulous filter alignments and multi-stage limiters that protect the drivers from excessive peaks and thermal overload by monitoring real power output over time.

The processing features presets that allow it to run in several configurations. The first is full-range mode, with response down to 45Hz (–3dB). The AT312-MK3 can be combined with any BASSBOSS subwoofer. Each preset offers different advantages that suit certain applications and preferences. No matter which preset you choose, your BASSBOSS subs and AT312-MK3 tops will always play in harmony. Scalability is another key benefit, as one AT312-MK3 can provide enough mid and high output to match an incredible number of LF elements. When an AT312 is used with a BASSBOSS powered subwoofer the result is a very effective, simple to use, easy to set up, and practical high-fidelity 4-way active loudspeaker system.

Control BASSBOSS software provides additional computer-accessible presets, networked remote control and remote DSP update capabilities. Each unit features dual Ethernet ports with a built-in network switch for computer connectivity and cascading networking ability. IP65 waterproof connectors provide peace-of-mind in unpredictable environments, and the MK3 line offers 90–250VAC global power compatibility for use all over the world. The 4,100W RMS 4-channel amplifier offers exceptional dynamic resolution and detail along with precise control, low current draw and light weight relative to the output capacity.

Constructed from premium selected 15 mm Baltic birch plywood, the AT312-MK3 is created to stand up to intense usage. The cabinet is finished in an extremely rugged, black polyurethane coating. Drivers are protected by a black powder-coated, perforated steel grille, and the amp is recessed into the back of the cabinet for protection from damage, direct sun and moisture. Its driver compliment incorporates dual 12″ woofers in a vented enclosure for low frequencies and a 12″ midrange driver in a sealed enclosure with a co-axially mounted 1.4″ exit compression driver.

Dual 12″ low-frequency drivers were chosen to minimize cabinet frontal area while delivering the best possible speed and impact in their operating range. Thanks to the narrow frontal area, the low-frequency drivers couple coherently when multiple cabinets are arrayed, providing powerful mid-bass impact from a small, lightweight box. The 12″ coaxial drivers also serve to minimize frontal area while maximizing output.

The AT312-MK3 behaves as a point-source loudspeaker, which deliver more consistent off-axis performance than conventional loudspeakers with separate mid and high frequency drivers. This feature enhances resolution, and the consistency also enhances the loudspeaker’s versatility, allowing it to be mounted horizontally or vertically.

The simplicity and ease of these components together, coupled with fidelity and reliability that are industry leading, will delight anyone who is regularly moving gear.
