Column Array Speaker System: Product Overview
The Studiomaster Direct 121MX 12" column array speaker is purpose-built for mobile DJs, live performers, and event spaces seeking a compact, all-in-one solution. This active system combines a slender vertical array with a powerful 12" subwoofer, offering fidelity and flexibility for stage and venue audio.
Key Features and Benefits
Array and Driver System
Outfitted with 6x 3" midrange drivers and a 1" compression driver in the column, the system provides wide 120-degree horizontal and focused 30-degree vertical dispersion. This coverage ensures clear vocals and music in intimate venues or larger rooms, setting it apart from typical box-shaped active PA speakers that often struggle with even sound spread.
Subwoofer Performance
The 12" subwoofer, engineered within a wooden enclosure, and top array combined supports a full 35Hz to 20kHz frequency response. DJs and bands alike benefit from tight, reliable low end. Independent level control and adjustable high-pass filtering help users adapt to different room sizes and acoustic challenges, addressing a common limitation in many column PA system designs.
Versatile Onboard DSP Mixer
Direct control over four channels, including dual mic/line XLR-1/4" combo inputs, an instrument (Hi-Z) channel, and RCA/Bluetooth, enables smooth setup for soloists, duos, or even small bands. Each input comes with gain and assignable digital reverb, giving performers hands-on flexibility - a distinct advantage over some fixed-configuration speakers.
Modern Connectivity
Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) support provide wireless streaming with the ability to pair two systems for stereo operation - perfect for quick setups and clean cable management.
Portable and Practical Design
Lightweight yet solid, the system breaks down easily with padded bags for both column and sub. Designed for transportin smaller vehicles, this feature saves time and minimises strain, especially compared to traditional two-box active PA speakers.
Applications
Adapted for working DJs, solo musicians, acoustic duos, and presenters, the Studiomaster Direct 121MX column PA system fits a variety of professional and semi-professional environments. Whether accompanying singer-songwriters in a cafe, handling speeches at corporate events, or providing crisp dancefloor sound at weddings, it delivers clarity and coverage with minimal setup. Small theatres and hire companies will value its straightforward transport and setup, while educators can rely on broad, intelligible projection in school halls or lecture spaces.
