X-Array™ speaker systems provide world class performance and flexibility for the ultimate in concert touring systems. It incorporates unique, "one-man“ rigging and neodymium magnets for very large arrays.
The X-Array™ X-Series™ represents important advancements in concert-sound reinforcement technology. The X-Array™ design produces the highest acoustic output with the highest fidelity in lightweight, compact enclosures that are easy to array. The individual systems, drivers, horns, enclosures, rigging hardware, and system configurations have been designed from the ground up specifically for concert-sound reinforcement. For additional easy handling, special speaker dollies are available. Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™) is another ingenious product of X-Array™ design. EV's traditional, top-down development strategy brings RMD™ technology to other EV products. X-Array™ has unprecedented acoustic output and excellent directivity control.
Rigging for big hangs: Unique rear-hinge rigging for fast, easy, and secure rigging. A 64-box hang can come up or down in 30 minutes. Front rigging straps control vertical aiming, and rear, fixed hinge makes tilting easy. Mating positioning recesses on the top and bottom of the cabinets help to assemble and disassemble arrays on the ground, a layer by layer. A detailed, 25-page, strong “flying manual and structural ratings” handbook is available. The X-Array™ one-person rigging hardware has passed German TÜV approval.
Neodymium magnetics: For lighter weight and maximum acoustic output. All 12-inch, mid-bass transducers are the ND12A, for a three-dB average increase in output. Neodymium in the ND6-16 compression driver increases output in the upper octaves. The ND6-16 driver features a 3.5-inch titanium diaphragm.
Amping and Controller: X-Array™ is powered by EV´s world famous Precision Series™ and controlled by a Klark Teknik DN 9848 digital four-in/eight-out controller, Klark Teknik DN 8000, or Electro Voice Dx 38 for flexible and easy configurations. Flyable amp racks are available.
X-Array™ is made of 13-ply birch plywood finished in black, textured paint and protected by a powder-coated, steel front grille backed with foam.
Xb
Subwoofer
The Electro-Voice® Xb dual, 18-inch, low-frequency subwoofer system features Manifold Technology®. the Xb packs two woofers into a basic X-shell to optimize performance for low-frequency enhancement of contemporary music (response: three dB down at 37 Hz with EQ).
Xcb
Subwoofer
The Electro-Voice® Xcb is an 18-inch, low-frequency system. It is designed for more modest low-frequency requirements and for smaller load ins and load outs. Two-thirds-height enclosure shell.
Xcn
The Electro-Voice® Xcn is a compact, two-way, 12-inch, medium-throw MB/HF system. The Xcn is designed down fill use at the bottom of a hang, or when smaller load ins and load outs are desired. Two-thirds-height enclosure shell.
Xf
The Electro-Voice® Xf is a dual, two-way, 12-inch, horn-loaded, MB/HF system that adds long-throw "punch" to the capabilities of medium and short-throw X-Series™ systems. The system operates above 125 Hz, with low-frequency augmentation provided by a full-range or low-frequency system. Dual, vertically stacked, high-frequency drivers mount on a "twin format" 40 degree x 20 degree horn.
Xn
The Electro-Voice® Xn is a three-way, 18-inch, medium-throw, full-range system. It features a horn-loaded mid-bass section, and an asymmetrically placed, coaxial, high-frequency section (RMD™ technique).
Xw12A
Floor-Monitor
The Electro-Voice® Xw12A two-way, 12-inch floor monitor now features an EV ND6 three-inch, titanium, high-frequency compression driver with a neodymium motor. It also comes with recessed handles for easy and smooth carrying, and is packaged in a rugged, low-profile enclosure of 12-ply birch, uniquely curved for friendly handling. The Xw12A's symmetrical design allows two monitors to be placed side-by-side so high-frequency horns can be coupled for high-level, large-stage applications. Its 80 degree x 55 degree Constant Directivity horn is orientated to provide narrower horizontal coverage and wider vertical coverage, which helps to isolate adjacent monitor mixes and provide extended front-to-back stage coverage.
Xw15A
Floor-Monitor
The Electro-Voice® Xw15A two-way, 15-inch, floor monitor now features an EV ND6 three-inch, titanium, high-frequency compression driver with a neodymium motor. It also comes with new recessed handles for easy and smooth carrying. The Xw15A also includes the unique characteristics of the Xw12 plus - an EV X-155 woofer for increased bass output and lower distortion.
