Advance engineered 14″ coaxial driver combines LF response of a conventional 15” driver with the ultra-clear mid-band resolution of a 12” driver, providing extraordinary output signal from this diminutive dual role PA /stage monitor system

Amate Audio has announced the launch of the ultra-compact, high performance X14FD; a point source, dual-purpose front-of-house PA and stage monitor system.

The X14FD is the latest and the most powerful iteration of an extended pedigree of successful coaxial based dual-purpose designs. A latest generation Xcellence series self-powered active system, it incorporates Amate Audio’s uprated Active+™ digital power and control platform with high order high-order FIR filtering and Dante™ audio networking.

The single revolutionary low distortion, high power handling 14″ coaxial driver provides an exceptionally smooth full frequency response, characterized by a low frequency response comparable with a conventional 15” driver, combined with the mid-frequency resolution and crystal clear vocal articulation of a conventional 12” driver; together with exceptionally transparent HF response and peak handling characteristics.

“We have engineered even greater reductions in cabinet volume with the use of this new driver in the X14FD,” says International Sales Manager Jordi Amate. “Despite achieving a form-factor with the lowest possible profile in its stage monitor application, the new design offers improved ergonomics. The new driver also provides improved long-throw coverage for outdoor use.

“Added to this are all of the operational advantages of our very latest generation power and DSP control electronics, standard in our new Xcellence series models. It is a truly industry leading combination, and includes an optimized monitor preset with enhanced voice control and zero microphone feedback issues.”
