The ART300 is a two-way professional
passive speaker system that combines high
power and high efficiency in a light weight
enclosure for fixed-installation systems. The
12" low-frequency transducer, in combination
with a 1" compression driver coupled to an
integral 90º x 70º constant directivity
polynomial horn, form an extremely powerful
package for any small to medium-sized sound
reinforcement application.
It features dual Neutrik Speakon® input
and output connectors for cascading multiple
speakers. The passive crossover is designed
to reduce heat dissipation and optimize the
power response of the loudspeaker.
The enclosure is constructed of high-
strength polypropylene, with M10 threaded
inserts on all four sides for rigging, and an
integral locking 35mm socket in the bottom for
mounting on a standard speaker stand.
