Bogen’s A-Series Armadillo

loudspeakers feature unique tech-

nologies that improve sound quality and operating reliability.

Attractively styled, they are engineered for both indoor and out-

door applications. The A8 models are high-output, 2-way

designs for larger spaces such as clubs, auditoriums, and theme

parks. Its high audio intelligibility and superb articulation make it

ideal for music or paging applications. The A8 models also

feature MDT (Metal Diaphragm Technology) and MLS (Magnetic

Liquid Suspension).

MDT (Metal Diaphragm Technology):

• High rigidity and low mass of metal versus traditional papers

and plastics

• Extremely stable cone structure over long periods of time

• Fast transmission of sound through the diaphragm means

low energy storage

• Special anodizing process creates a ceramic coating for

increased stiffness

• Efficient heat-sinking of voice coils under long-term,

high-power situations

MLS (Magnetic Liquid Suspension):

• Voice coil is constantly centered for lower distortion

• Voice coil is more efficiently heat-sinked by fluid instead of air

• Greater linearity is accomplished because the mechanical

spider is eliminated

• Constant lubrication of the gap prevents oxidation from

outdoor use
