PowerWorks ARTEMIS MAX 12
The PowerWorks ARTEMIS MAX 12 is a high-output, 12-inch two-way active reinforcement loudspeaker engineered for mobile DJs, live bands, venues, houses of worship, and event rentals. Stepping up from standard entry-level plastic active boxes, the ARTEMIS MAX series features a robust, road-ready enclosure powered by high-efficiency Class-D amplification and an onboard digital signal processor (DSP). It delivers clear vocal reproduction, tight low-frequency impact, and flexible connectivity for use as a standalone main PA speaker, pole-mounted front-of-house unit, or floor stage wedge monitor.
Core Performance Features
-
High-Efficiency Bi-Amplification: Powered by a lightweight Class-D power amplifier module driving the 12-inch low-frequency woofer and high-frequency compression driver independently, maximizing dynamic headroom while keeping thermal buildup low.
-
Onboard Multi-Mode DSP Engine: Features selectable DSP sound presets (typically Main/Live, Music/DJ, Speech/Vocal, and Monitor) that adapt EQ contours, crossover points, and system limiting to the acoustic environment instantly.
-
Flexible Multi-Angle Enclosure: Molded, rugged polypropylene composite cabinet features dual asymmetrical side angles, allowing the speaker to double as a low-profile 45-degree horizontal floor wedge monitor or an upright FOH top.
-
Multi-Channel Mixer Section: Equipped with dual combination XLR/TRS inputs with independent Mic/Line gain switches, allowing direct connection of microphones, DJ mixers, or instruments without needing an external mixer for simple setups.
-
Rigging & Mounting Versatility: Includes a standard 35 mm dual-angle or single pole-mount socket for tripod stands and distance poles, integrated ergonomic carry handles, and multiple M10 fly points for permanent ceiling/truss suspended installations.
-
Balanced Mix Output: Provides a balanced male XLR link/mix output to easily daisy-chain signal to additional ARTEMIS MAX tops or companion active subwoofers.
