The WEDGE Series PROEL has set a standard for affordable and road-proof stage monitors, able to offer a highly valuable monitoring solution, with perfect sound intelligibility and high SPL in low-profile and portable enclosures. The Version 2 of this very successful series represents a major step forward, with several design’s refinements and feature’s improvements.
The lightweight CLASS D amplifier modules with SMPS have been completely re-designed, to provide the utmost reliability even when the system is stressed at the highest sound pressure levels. Coupled to a sophisticated analog processing, they provide an extremely detailed response, particularly in the vocal range, and a remarkable resistance to feedback. Two tailored EQ PRESETS are available for the use of the speaker not only for stage monitoring (MONITOR), but also as a MAIN SOUND SYSTEM (FOH).
The stylish design of the cabinets, with integrated handles, recessed connection panel and pole socket, has been optimized reducing further the profile and, therefore, the footprint on the stage. Knowing very well the mistreatment the stage monitors are usually subjected to, we have greatly improved the strength of the cabinet’s polyurethane painting, making them resistant to any abuse.
Also the custom designed coaxial transducers, able to provide a perfect HF and LF alignment and a controlled directivity for a perfect listening from any position, have been updated, especially the 10” that features now a compression driver with increased efficiency.
The V2 WEDGE monitors are available in three models, offering the perfect solution for any monitoring situations. The ultra-compact WD10AV2 is able to offer a high-performance monitoring also on small stages and it ‘s the ideal solution for speech, vocals and keyboards. WD12AV2, with its high SPL and its full-range response, is the favorite choice for vocals, guitar, horns and electronic instruments or as a high-power monitor for DJs. WD15AV2, with its full extension and powerful and deep response at the low frequencies, is the ideal monitor for bass and drums players. The horn-loaded HF section and the powerful amplifier make it the perfect solution for monitoring also on very large stages.

PROEL SOUND SYSTEMS
Proel has over 25 years of experience in the world of amplification. Such know-how as to generate a product philosophy inspired by innovation in design and functionality.
Since 1996, Proel has been dedicated to designing and manufacturing high-quality Sound Systems products that could meet the ever-increasing demand of professional installers and the music market.
Widely recognized for product value, Proel has focused its energies on ensuring that every single Sound Systems product is reliable and of high quality, with solutions for any target audience and application: from artists and professionals to amateur musicians; from fixed installations to live performances.
The beginning of the new millennium saw the introduction – in 2002 – of NEXT, Proel’s first plastic loudspeaker, while in 2003 Proel Sound Reinforcement’s experience was enriched by what is still considered a milestone in the sound reinforcement of large outdoor spaces: the EDGE series. Based on state-of-the-art transducers designed and manufactured with unique components and solutions in order to achieve high performance in terms of distortion reduction, precision in angular coverage, and high sound pressure levels, EDGE-with its high modularity-allowed the sound system to be configured for any type of space, effectively anticipating some of the concepts later taken up by modern loudspeaker arrays.
Proel Sound Systems’ experience is rooted in the professional touring world of the late 1990s, when, after a series of operational tests, Proel Sound Reinforcement introduced the SMART, TPR and TFL lines in 1997, the latter designed asymmetrically to also be used as floor monitors. Since then, Proel loudspeakers showed a focus on flexibility and portability by offering, for example, the external Full range/Bi-Amp selector switch for handling multiple systems and ergonomic handles inserted on multiple sides.
