Overview
The PreSonus AIR12 is a high-performance, bi‑amplified 12″ powered loudspeaker engineered for professional sound reinforcement in a portable form‑factor. Featuring a hybrid amplifier design—Class D driving the woofer and Class A/B powering the compression driver—it delivers up to 1,200 W of dynamic power for clean, articulate bass and natural, extended high-end. Compact yet robust, it hits up to 123 dB SPL with a 48 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response that fills rooms with impressive clarity and impact.
Onboard DSP includes intuitive preset modes such as FOH, DJ, Monitor, Enhance, and Speech, plus adjustable ±10 dB bass and treble controls and location-based EQ options for pole, bracket, or flown configurations. The AIR12 also features a built-in mixer with two XLR/TRS combo mic/line inputs, a stereo ⅛″ aux input, and a balanced XLR mix output—ideal for flexible routing or daisy‑chaining multiple units.
