Avante Audio A12: Versatile 12-Inch Powered Speaker

A 12-inch two-way speaker is the most versatile size in pro audio: big enough for full-range music on its own, compact enough to carry, and well suited as a floor monitor. The A12 covers all of those roles. Use a pair on stands as main speakers for a DJ set or small band, lay one on its side as a stage wedge, or pair it with a subwoofer for extended low end.

The 90 by 60 degree coverage pattern spreads sound evenly across a room, and the compression driver delivers clear vocals and crisp highs even at high volume.

A12 DSP and Presets

The A12’s onboard digital signal processing lets you adjust the speaker for its job. Use the rear-panel LCD screen to select presets for different applications, adjust EQ, and fine-tune the sound for your room. DSP also protects the drivers, so the speaker stays clean and controlled when pushed.

A12 Setup Tips

For main PA use, mount a pair of A12s on speaker stands so the high-frequency driver sits above the audience’s heads, and angle them slightly toward the center of the room. For monitor use, place the A12 in front of the performer, angled up toward their ears, and choose a monitor preset if available. Pair with a powered subwoofer and use its high-pass output to send the A12 everything above the bass range for a fuller, louder system.

Avante Audio A12 FAQ

Can I use the A12 without a subwoofer? Yes. The 12-inch woofer reaches down to 60 Hz, which is enough for speech, acoustic music, and many DJ applications. Add a subwoofer for dance music or larger rooms.

Can the A12 be used as a stage monitor? Yes. Its two-way design and wide coverage make it suitable as a floor wedge as well as a main speaker.
