Provision of aВ pole sensor and an internal accelerometer means the speaker 'knows' when it is set up on its side and automatically switches to monitor mode. The cabinet has on its side aВ mixer control panel for stand-alone use, and when two speakers are networked, both mixers can be used at the same time to feed both speakers in stereo. The StageSource L2T has six different speaker modes, selected by pushing the button on the right-hand side of the rear panel. Class-D amplifiers (totalling in excess of 800W) are used to minimise weight, while the mixing and processing is done using DSP technology. The latter feeds aВ horn giving aВ 100-degree horizontal x 50-degree vertical coverage pattern. Inside the box are two bespoke 10-inch bass/mid drivers, powered by two-inch voice coils and teamed with aВ one-inch HF compression driver. At 17.7kg each, they can also be comfortably carried single-handed. My first impression was that some serious thought had gone into the industrial design of these cabinets.

There's also aВ large swing-out handle on the side of the speaker, and pop-out legs on the rear panel support the cabinet at an angle for monitor use, at either 30 or 60 degrees. The corners are generously rounded, while the top and bottom caps include rubbery feet and aВ recessed centre section with aВ lip that can be used as aВ carry handle.

AВ robust steel grille protects the speakers, and the cabinet is fitted with M10 suspension points, plus aВ 38mm pole mount socket. Starting with the basics, the L2T reviewed here is aВ bi-amped, two-way speaker system, built into aВ rugged plywood enclosure and finished in textured black paint. Up to nine speaker cabinets can share the same network, but even when you're using these speakers as part of aВ non-networked 'normal' system, there's still aВ lot of useful processing power available. The same network protocol also allows the speakers to integrate with the Line 6 StageScape M20D digital mixer, which we reviewed last year ( /sos/nov12/articles/line-6-m20d.htm). The on-board digital processors then handle the panning of stereo signals if more than one speaker is being used, and if an е…ѓS subwoofer is part of the system, it is fed the necessary mono mix, while crossovers are configured to send the suitably high-pass-filtered stereo signal to the tops. When connected via this network, the loudspeakers automatically configure themselves in the appropriate relationship to any other speakers (including subs) that are on the same network. These are unusual in having many built-in 'intelligent' features, most notably the L6 Link proprietary digital networking protocol. It has been around 18 months since Line 6 first previewed their StageSource range of PA speakers.

There's more to these speakers than meets the eye, thanks to some cunning DSP and unique networking capability.
