FLEX Array Technology

Shape your sound to fit any room. The F1 Model 812 is the first powered portable loudspeaker that lets you control its vertical coverage pattern. Simply push or pull the array into position to create 'Straight', 'C', 'J', or 'Reverse J' coverage patterns, ensuring optimal sound for audiences on the floor, on a stage, or in raked seating.

Powerful 1000-Watt Design

Engineered for performance, the F1 Model 812 features a 1000-watt amplifier driving a 12-inch woofer and eight high-output drivers. This bi-amplified design, with a lower crossover point, delivers a stunning 132 dB peak SPL while maintaining vocal and midrange clarity that is dramatically better than conventional loudspeakers, even at high volumes.

Integrated 2-Channel Mixer

Connect a variety of sources with the integrated two-channel mixer. Channel 1 offers a combo XLR-1/4" input with selectable mic or line level, while Channel 2 provides a 1/4" instrument input and a stereo RCA input.
