perfect for touring & for installations

As a part of the Joker series its compact design and high output make it extremely versatile. It is perfect for both rental companies and fixed installations. Theatres, churches, performing arts centers and other loca-tions will find Joker to be an ideal solution.

high resistant bi-component polyurea® coating

JK318A features an extremely high resistance Polyurea® coating to protect it from scratches, impact and abrasion during use. Polyurea® permanently bonds to wooden sur-faces, with a factory-like finish that follows every angle and curve while creating a watertight seal. No air gaps or drill holes to give water a place to hide.

quality finish and design in every detail

Ergonomic handles provide comfortable handling and portability. Proprietary rubber feet are designed to achieve protection through an elegant answer. The blue LED behind the front aluminium plate illuminates while the power is on.

joker & you

Acoustics and digital electronics-technological innovations incorporated into the JK318A make possible the extreme capabilities of this loudspeaker in an easy way. Just plug and get your best play.

acousticfeatures

compact design with fully customized components

Built in transducers in JK318A have been developed and customized to match the properties perfectly. The 18” woofer superior low frequency control and 12” mid-bass vocal performance woofer produces powerful sound with unno-ticeable distortion. 1.75” high frequency driver is capable of reproducing incredible crystal clear sound even at full power.

asymmetrical dispersion

Thanks to its flexible coverage patterns, JK318A’s asymmetri-cal horn provides an amazing performance both in the wide, short throw zone (listeners closest to the stage) and narrow, long throw zone (back of the venue).

optimized steel grid pattern

Along with its optimum perforation coefficient, got through resistance versus performance mathematical calculations, the proprietary round grid pattern is designed to provide both protection to the speakers and acoustically transpar-ent sound. A heavy-duty 1.5 mm steel grille protects internal compo-nents from the hard road use.

acoustics prediction. better sound installations

Free EASE libraries allow you to visualize the performance of the system prior to installation. Powerful EASE software calculates 3D coverage maps, speech intelligibility, reverber-ation times and other acoustical parameters even before the room itself is built.

high precission digital signal processing

Thanks to its 24 bit – 48 kHz / 102 dB dynamic range AD/DA converters and a high speed DSP with 48–bit internal archi-tecture, the system can get the most of the transducers. Pre-cise crossover filters and parametric EQ, together with R.M.S. and clip limiters, ensure the best performance at all time.

third generation class d amplification

The unique Class D technology of the Joker amplifiers offers to JK318A benefits often not found in other digital ampli-fiers: extremely low harmonic and intermodulation distor-tion, high damping factor and high fidelity performance for a powerful and clear sound.

optimized presets for each sound application

Joker means polyvalence. JK318A even more. And for each application you can imagine, you will find a suitable factory preset. Nearfield, Speech... with a magical setup, the JK318A will give you its best! As easy as selecting the desired preset with your finger.

advanced graphic interface with sensitivetouch™ technology

Customize your JK318A: the graphic LCD and SensitiveTouch™ capacitive sensors at the rear panel help you configure both audio and user settings. Decide and configure in seconds if you want the front Led to light up, if you want to use the Ecomode or if the keypad should be locked after inactivity.
