Where the full-sized X-Line meets the acoustic demands of the largest venues and arenas, the X-Line Compact (XLC) is designed to provide equally outstanding sonic quality in a wide variety of venues, all with easy setup and transportation. Whether at a medium-sized festival, in a large concert hall or house of worship, or as a supplementary system used with X-Line at the world’s largest events, XLC has a proven record of performance second to none. It is no wonder why XLC is one of the world’s most popular line array systems.
The latest additions to XLC are based on the all-new, DVX transducer platform: the XLC127DVX full-range system, and the XLC215 LF/sub element featuring two DVX3150 woofers. The XLC127DVX is a step up from the 127+: it utilizes the same high output ND6-HYDRA™ high-frequency section, but provides more low-frequency capability with the DVX3121 12-inch, forced-air-cooled, low-frequency driver, along with lower distortion and more mmid-range headroom with the new DVN2065 mid-bass woofers. Both new XLC-DVX models are available as installation versions, with simplified rigging for permanent installations. Existing XLC127+ systems can be easily upgraded to XLC127DVX.
Xlc127+/Xlci127+
Main Cabinet
The Xlc127+ loudspeaker is a component used in multiples to create a XLC line array.
An XLC array can use a minimum of four cabinets, and a reasonable array uses six to eight boxes, with a maximum of 16 for larger arenas. The three-way, axis-asymmetric design includes a single EV DL-12 low-frequency, mid-bass woofer optimized for this cabinet. Two 6.5-inch, horn-loaded drivers in a vertical array comprise the mid-frequency bandpass.
The XLC127+ uses two ND6 (three-inch voice-coil) neodymium compression drivers loaded on two Hydra™ plane wave generators. With a horizontal coverage of 120 degrees, the XLC system accurately covers wide areas while maintaining excellent imaging and lobe-free coverage. The XLC127+ is equipped with an internal x-over for mid-bass and high-frequency to allow for either biamp or triamp operation.
The Xlci version is designed for permanent installation applications.
Xlc127DVX / Xlci127DVX
The XLC127DVX is the new main component used to create an XLC line array featuring EV’s latest DVX woofers.
An XLC array can use a minimum of four cabinets, and a reasonable array uses six to eight boxes, with a maximum of 16 used for larger arenas. The three-way, axis-asymmetric design includes a single DVX3121 12-inch low-frequency, mid-bass woofer; the mid-frequency bandpass is comprised of two 6.5-inch, horn-loaded DVN2065 woofers in a vertical array.
The XLC127DVX uses two ND6 (three-inch voice-coil) neodymium compression drivers loaded on two Hydra™ plane wave generators. With a horizontal coverage of 120 degrees, the XLC system accurately covers wide areas while maintaining excellent imaging and lobe-free coverage. The XLC127DVX is designed for triamp operation. To allow for biamp operation, an internal x-over for mid-bass and high frequencies is available as an accessory.
The Xlci127DVX version is designed for permanent installation applications.
Xlc215
EV engineers have defined a new group of compact line array elements, the XLC. It is comprised of three components - XLC 127+ full-range with ND6-16 large-format, high-frequency transducers and two subwoofer systems. The XLC 118 sub cabinet uses an EVX-180B, and the XLC 215 uses two DVX3150’s. Both are true sub-bass systems designed for high-level, extended low-frequency output. They share the same enclosure footprint and rigging is identical to the other XLC systems, allowing flexible subwoofer integration with full-range arrays requiring extended low-frequency response.
With a height 1.5 times that of the XLC 127+, a subwoofer array can be flown side-by-side with column appearances similar to the main array using a ratio of two subs for every three full-range boxes. Subwoofer systems can also be placed at the top or bottom of full-range arrays for seamless, arrayed, four-way system integration. Designed for use in groups of two or more, the subwoofer delivers predictability and control. Combined with an advanced integrated rigging system, one-man installations are also possible. The subwoofer systems can also be ground-stacked.
Ideal for applications ranging from live reinforcement, to performing arts venues, to houses of worship, to sports facilities, XLC provides the power to make it happen. XLC delivers unprecedented performance, particularly in difficult acoustic environments.
Xlc907DVX / Xlci907DVX
The XLCDVX uses a DVX3121, two DVN2065 neodymium mid-range transducers, and two ND6 high-frequency transducers. The DVX3121 is a high-performance, low-frequency transducer with forced air, directional voice-coil cooling for high power and efficiency. The suspension and magnetic circuit are optimized for long, linear travel to provide low distortion and greater low-frequency extension in a lightweight transducer. The DVN2065 transducer uses neodymium to provide very high output with lightweight and lower distortion. The cabinet's three-way design comprises a 12-inch, vented, low-frequency, two-inch x 6.5-inch MB transducers on a 90 degree horizontal waveguide, and two-inch x three-inch high-frequency transducers combining through Hydras on a 90 degree x 7 degree waveguide.
The XlC907DVX is designed to be used in triamp mode. Biamped, three-way operation is possible using the optional, sophisticated, 24 dB/octave, passive, mid-frequency to high-frequency network. Its asymmetrical box design has been optimized to produce a symmetrical polar pattern with uniform power response. Designed for use in groups of four or more, the XLC907DVX delivers reliability and control. The XLC907DVX can be used in long, narrow venues in arrays of four or more, or in groups of two or more in combination with the XLC127DVX 120 degree version for long-throw on top of arrays.
