The Korena take

Built around an adjustable eight-driver array and a 12-inch LF driver, the F1 Model 812 lets you change vertical coverage by moving the array into Straight, C, J, or Reverse J positions. Its integrated EQ changes with the selected pattern. With 1,000W of system power and 132 dB peak SPL, it is positioned for live performance and presentation work where coverage can vary with the room or audience layout.
