About the Clair Brothers i212-M
The Clair Brothers i212-M is a mobile line array representing the brand's latest innovation in portable line array technology. It employs an all-new modular midrange and high frequency approach, with centrally located mid/high modules providing 90° horizontal by 10° vertical coverage, symmetrically flanked by low frequency sections. Each 12-inch low frequency driver is front loaded in its own tuned reflex chamber. The enclosure features integral bimodal rigging with adjustable rear rigging, allowing the array to be set from 0° to 10° in 2.5° increments when flown or stacked, with finer resolution available via optional B.I.R.D. accessories. Clair Brothers combines amplification and proprietary DSP processing in permanent or portable racks for i212 systems, with EASE GLL files available on request.
Clair Brothers i212-M — buyer FAQs
What is the Clair Brothers i212-M and what type of applications is it designed for?
The Clair Brothers i212-M is a mobile three-way active line array enclosure designed for a variety of live sound applications, whether flown or ground-stacked. Its modular midrange and high frequency section delivers 90° horizontal by 10° vertical controlled directivity, while each 12-inch low frequency driver operates in its own front-loaded tuned reflex chamber, allowing the system to be deployed in portable touring or event production contexts.
What are the key specifications of the i212-M?
The i212-M reaches a maximum output of 144 dB and uses two 12-inch low frequency drivers, four 6-inch midrange drivers, and two high frequency exit drivers with a 1.4-inch exit and 3-inch voice coil diameter. Coverage is 90° horizontal by 10° vertical. The enclosure carries an epoxy mastic finish and uses an EP-8 connector. It is a three-way active design with integral bimodal rigging built in.
How does the i212-M's rigging system work?
The i212-M features integrated bimodal rigging with an adjustable rear rigging device that sets splay angles from 0° to 10° in increments of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 or 10°, whether the array is flown or stacked. Finer angular resolution is available using optional B.I.R.D. accessories, which provide increments of 0.5°, 0.75°, 1.0° and 1.25° when used in compression rigging mode.
Who makes the i212-M and where does it sit in their range?
The i212-M is made by Clair Brothers, a United States loudspeaker brand rooted in the touring sound company founded by Roy and Gene Clair in Lititz, Pennsylvania in the 1960s, and associated with the wider Clair Global live production organisation. The i212-M represents the brand's most recent development in portable line array technology and is supported by Clair Brothers amplification and proprietary DSP processing available in permanent or portable racks.
What should I check when buying a used i212-M?
On a used i212-M, inspect the condition of all driver components across the three frequency sections, verify the bimodal rigging hardware moves freely through its full range of splay angles, and confirm the EP-8 connector is undamaged. Check whether amplification and DSP rack equipment is included, as these are separate items. Used listings on this page vary by configuration and condition. Each 10K Used listing carries a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; the buying guide covers the full process.
