The LR24 is a mid-size line-array sound system, designed to enable a 1:1 non-compressed reproduction of the original sound source at any sound pressure level; Due to the completely neutral response of the system, it can be used for any application and source possible, from speech, to classical music, jazz, all the way to pop and hard-rock performances.
The system is characterized by a fully predictable, linear response from the lowest to the highest SPL’s, with a completely flat frequency response up to 20kHz., giving room for full artistic “sound sculpting”, without having to work around or against the system.
What You Mix Is What You Get!
The complete LR24 system contains no less than 6 global patents and patent-applications.
The power behind the glory
Conveying emotions through the pro-ribbon transducer
The heart of the LR24 system is the purpose-designed RBN1202rs 12” pro-ribbon transducer. This technology combines an ultra-low distortion with a very high dynamic range.
The all-natural cylindrical wavefront and the patented horizontal projection bring a unique pattern control in both the vertical as well as the horizontal plane, up to the highest frequencies without any complex distortion-inducing horn constructions.
The consistent horizontal dispersion extends the imaging sweet-spot to a larger audience; The ultra-coherent vertical dispersion enables a perfect inter-cabinet coupling for ultimate HF throw and wind stability.
The ear-catching intelligibility and remarkable dynamic headroom reserve is due to the RBN1202rs’s 12" voice-coil with enormous power handling of 2500W and RMS-to-peak power handling ratio of 1:15, from 1 kHz to 20 kHz.
Literally the center-piece of the LR24; the RBN1202rs.
The R&D team of Alcons Audio, led by Philip “Dr. Phil” de Haan, has a 30+ year background in the research and development of pro-ribbon transducer technology; This has resulted in numerous patents and pending-patents, through which Alcons Audio can be seen as leader in this technology.
Razor-sharp directivity control
The constant horizontal directivity of the electronically and acoustically symmetric 3-way system, with a perfect off-axis frequency response. This not only guarantees audiences to get the same experience, regardless of position, but also offers a consistent reflected diffuse-field, resulting in a very coherent room sound response, both direct and reflected.
The vertical directivity shows a fully coherent wavefront up to the highest frequencies: This unique “perfect needle pin” cylindrical behavior prevents spilling energy above (ceiling) and below (on-stage) the array.
The resulting lack of destructive inter-cabinet interference also results in an unsurpassed throw efficiency and remarkable wind stability.
Unique ultra-low distortion 1:1 sound reproduction
The Alcons proprietary mid and high frequency technology in the LR24 offers a 1:1 non-compressed sound reproduction, with up to 90% less distortion than any conventional mid/high transducer (@ same SPL), because of the lack of a compression chamber and the light weight diaphragm (with large integrated voice-coil).
The RBN pro-ribbon mid-high frequency drivers reproduce the original sound without adding any coloration or distortion. Input = output, just louder!

LR24 system and peripherals
An integrated system approach, not just assembled parts
The LR24 is part of a complete, applicationconfigurable package; a synergetic toolbox of linearray modules, different stacked or flown subwoofer principles, dedicated power and processing platform with ALControl™ remote-control, power-, signal- and transport logistics and high-resolution ARC™ 3D-simulation software.
LR24
Line array module
LR24 is a 3-way, bi-amped mid-sized line-array module. lt contains the RBN1202rsr pro-ribbon transducer for mid and high frequencies, double 6.5" for the mids and dual 12" for the low/mid frequencies. The system is available with 90-degree or 120-degree horizontal dispersion.
BC543
Cardioid Subwoofer
The BC543 self-contained cardioid subwoofer, with 3x 18" very high-output carbon-cone woofers, offers selectable cardioid low-frequency pattern control and excellent rear rejection (up to 42dB), in combination with the dedicated drive processing in the Sentinel.
PRRGL24
Transport options
The LR24 is transported with 4 units on the PRRGL24 pre-rig dolly frame, facilitating curved or straight stacks. The dolly frame also enables a ground-stack configuration; With the optional detachable legs the tilt-angle can be adjusted.
