The AVI AW-5M3 is a compact line-array system based upon our proprietary AVI 130mm wide-range driver, designed for applications where high output capability and small size are necessary. The advanced dual-cone elements feature treated paper LF cones with damped-roll suspensions, and resin impregnated high frequency cones. All of the drive units are treated to protect them from moisture and dust. They are precisely driven by a low mass voice coil in a narrow gap, using a high flux magnet. Three wide-range elements, working in unison, provide smooth response, high output and wide dispersion, in a very compact package. The all-aluminium enclosure is sealed for environmental protection in hostile climates, and creates a rugged and reliable speaker system, for high-quality outdoor sound systems. It may be painted to blend into any decor.

By eliminating the passive crossover network, these AVI speaker systems provide constant and predictable dispersion, and a 'natural' sound quality, immediately noticeable with spoken word or vocal program material. Their small size makes them ideal for spoken word reinforcement and high quality music playback in restaurants, nightclubs, conference facilities and houses of worship. They may also be built into staircases, arrayed along the lip of the stage in theatres, or hung from lighting suspension points or scenery, as special effects speakers.

The AVI small PF and AW range includes single, double and triple-driver systems, all based on the same acoustic components, so all have the same exceptional sound quality. This makes it practical to mix PF and AW speakers within a single installation, for long, medium and short throw applications, using the same equalization. Optional rigging hardware allows compact, curved line arrays to be assembled from two, four, or six PF-5M3 units, providing very tightly controlled dispersion for long throw applications.

AVI loudspeakers are hand built in our own facility in Canada, using the finest components available, with sound quality as the primary design criterion. It is a fortunate coincidence that designing speakers for accuracy also makes them capable of stunning output levels.
