Procella Audio Adds New Price and Size Categories with P5 Speaker and P12 Active Subwoofer

Procella Audio announced today that initial shipments of two new loudspeakers will take place in September 2014. The P5 is a compact, high-output two-way design that features a pro audio 5.25 inch woofer and a one inch high-frequency pro compression driver mounted on a Procella-designed constant directivity waveguide for high output levels and what they say is sonic accuracy. The P12 is a high-performance single 12 inch driver high-output subwoofer in a shallow depth cabinet, with an integral 350 watt power amplifier.

With a Procella Identical Voice crossover that provides flat phase response and ultra-low group delay, the P5 uses a high-performance professional audio compression driver mounted on a newly designed Procella waveguide to produce high frequencies. This new constant directivity waveguide produces a circular radiation pattern of 80 degrees above 2.2KHz, enabling users to achieve excellent performance with the speaker mounted in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. This ensures a high level of performance when the speaker is mounted high above listeners ears as in Atmos and Auro 3D Audio system height channels. The high-output 5.25 inch woofer driver has a 25mm voice coil and is capable of very high output levels. The Identical Voice concept assures a timbre match for seamless envelopment and 360 degree imaging when the P5 is used as a surround speaker with the Procella P8, P610, P815 and P860 main speakers. At only 7.5 inches wide, 12 inches high, and 6.7 inches deep, it is ideal for unobtrusive wall or shelf mounting. Recommended amplifier power is 100 to 250 watts.

As Procella’s most compact active subwoofer, the P12 is built around a 12 inch long-throw professional audio subwoofer driver with a 65mm voice coil. Its integrated class-D power amplifier delivers a total of 350 Watts to produce a maximum output of 116 dB at 50 Hz, with extension to well below 25 Hz.

Single balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs are provided, with an unbalanced RCA connector for linking multiple subwoofers. Switchable room settings optimize the subwoofer’s response for room boundary conditions, with positions for placement against a wall and for corner placement. A polarity switch optimizes integration of the subwoofer with the room and main speakers. An advanced Procella-designed auto power mode calibrates to the system preamp or processor, ensuring activation from sleep mode without truncating the initial program signal.

Like Procella’s other subwoofers, the P12 cabinet is very shallow in depth for ease of installation, whether placed against a wall or installed in a wall or baffle wall. The cabinet is 22.8 inches wide, 17.3 inches high, and only 7.9 inches deep (without grille). All inputs and controls are available on a recessed back panel that enables placement of the subwoofer directly against the wall.

Both speakers will be available in either black or white painted finishes and the P5 will list for $899 each, and the P12 will be $2,699 each. Here are all the tech specs.
