Atlas Sound ALA20TAW Passive 1000W 3" 2-Way Line Array Speaker System (White)

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound ALA20TAW is a passive 1000W column line array speaker engineered for spaces where speech intelligibility is the priority — reverberant sanctuaries, lecture halls, transit terminals, and large meeting rooms. Its tall, slim column delivers tight vertical pattern control that keeps sound on the audience and off reflective ceilings and walls, a core advantage in acoustically difficult rooms. The white extruded aluminum enclosure mounts discreetly against walls and columns, making this line array speaker installation an architectural fit as well as an acoustic one. EN54-24 certification also qualifies it for voice evacuation and life-safety sound system designs.

Product Description

The ALA20TAW combines twenty tightly packed 3" (76 mm) full-range drivers with six 22 mm high-frequency tweeters in a two-way column configuration, producing 135° horizontal by 40° vertical dispersion with a maximum SPL of 127 dB. Frequency response spans 110 Hz to 20 kHz (±5 dB) with 97 dB sensitivity (1W/1m), giving commercial sound system designers usable output headroom for both voice reinforcement and program audio. Power flexibility is a defining trait: the speaker runs at 6 ohms low impedance for direct amplifier connection or on 70.7V and 100V distributed lines using the built-in transformer taps (60W, 30W, 15W, and 7.5W on 70.7V), which suits everything from a single-room system to campus-wide commercial audio integration. Input connections include both a barrier strip and an NL-4 speakON connector, covering fixed installation and portable production workflows. The extruded aluminum enclosure is durable yet lightweight, and the rear vertical channels accept the included wall mount bracket, letting the installer slide the mount to set the desired vertical tilt during installation. An optional pole mount bracket pairs the column with a portable A-Line subwoofer for mobile events. With its IP33C ingress rating and EN54-24 certification, the ALA20TAW is also specified in voice alarm and emergency communication projects.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the ALA20TAW run on a 70V or 100V distributed audio system?
Yes. Built-in transformer taps provide 60W, 30W, 15W, and 7.5W settings on 70.7V lines, comparable taps on 100V lines, and a 6-ohm low-impedance bypass for direct amplifier connection.

Is it approved for voice evacuation systems?
Yes. The ALA20TAW is EN54-24 certified, qualifying it for voice alarm and life-safety sound system designs where certified loudspeakers are required.

How is the speaker mounted?
The included wall mount bracket slides within vertical channels on the rear of the enclosure, letting the installer set the vertical tilt during installation. An optional pole mount bracket supports portable use.

Why choose a column line array over conventional speakers?
The tall driver column controls vertical dispersion, directing sound at the audience and reducing reflections from ceilings and floors — a significant intelligibility advantage in reverberant spaces such as sanctuaries and lobbies.

What amplifier should I pair with it?
Use a 70V/100V distribution amplifier for tapped operation or a low-impedance amplifier rated for a 6-ohm load. The Creation Networks team can size the amplifier for your room and SPL targets.

Does it come in other colors?
This model is white (ALA20TAW); AtlasIED offers the same array in a black finish under a separate model number.

What warranty and design support are available?
AtlasIED provides a 60-month limited warranty, and Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net offers system design, coverage planning, and integration support.
