description
The LR18/120 is a 3-way, “compact-mid-size” format
line-source sound system, combining the highest
sound quality possible with very high SPL capabilities
and throw.
By implementing Alcons’ pro-ribbon technology
for mid and high frequencies, a super-fast impulse
response with up-to-90% less distortion is achieved.
This enables the LR18/120 to offer a fully intuitive
linear response, with perfect intelligibility and noncompressed identical tonal balance at any SPL.
The all-natural cylindrical wavefront of the multiplepatented, purpose-designed RBN702rs 7” pro-ribbon
transducer and the acoustically and electronicallysymmetrical component configuration bring a uniquepattern control in both the vertical as well as thehorizontal plane, without any distortion-inducing hornconstructions.

The pro-ribbon’s power handling of 1500W and RMSto-peak ratio of 1:15, caters for a superb intelligibility
and throw with maximum dynamic headroom reserve.
The MF-section features a high-efficiency 6.5”
midrange transducer with Neodymium motor-structure,
coaxially mounted behind the HF driver in a hornloaded configuration.
The LF section consist of 2 extended-excursion,reflex-loaded 8” woofers with oversized 3” voice-coil
Neodymium motor-structure, surpassing the output ofeven larger drivers, while maintaining an unobtrusive
face print.
The LR18/120 is driven by the Sentinel amplified
loudspeaker controller, optimising the system’s
response by LR18-specific drive processing andfeedback for each array configuration, including
presets for phase-matched low-frequency extensions.

The patented constant 120-degree horizontal
dispersion is maintained up to the highest frequencies.

The Signal Integrity Sensing™ pre-wiring ensures
dynamic cable/connector compensation between
the LR18/120 and ALC; This offers a 1:1, undistorted
natural sound reproduction, regardless of cable lengthand amplifier impedance load (system damping factor
10.000).

Array configurations can be simulated in the Alcons
Ribbon Calculator (ARC), Alcons’ high-resolution 3D
simulation program.

The rigging system enables angle-setting on thecabinets without lifting the array, resulting in safer andfaster set-up with minimal handling and a WLL of 24
cabinets under 10:1 safety.
