Development of the new Electro-Voice® X-Line™ system was driven by the need for a high-level concert touring enclosure that could combine the sonic impact and vocal intelligibility of the renowned X-Array™ system with the uniform, predictable coverage that only a line-array configuration can deliver. The EV engineering team set out to develop the next generation of line-array systems, combining their years of experience from the development of X-Array™ with the latest state-of-the-art technologies. Of course, X-Line™ features the essential acoustical advantage of RMD™.
The X-Line™ system was designed to provide wide horizontal dispersion (90 degrees) from a single, vertical line-array while providing exceptionally coherent wavefront summing in the vertical plane. At the heart of X-Line™ is a proprietary, high-frequency wavefront alignment and summation device - the Hydra™ - that provides planar and time-coherent signal addition. The broad bandwidth vertical planar summing provides uniform sound field distribution throughout the listening area.
Stereo imaging is improved by the X-Line's full-bandwidth, mid-bass loading. Extended low-frequency polar control produces more uniform power response, further enhancing overall intelligibility. The overall power response of the X-Line™ is very uniform across a wide frequency spectrum, enabling the system's musical sonic character.
Xsub(F)
X-Line Two x 18-inch Subwoofer
The Electro-Voice® Xsub(F) high-output, dual, 1200-watt, subwoofer system features EVX 180B woofers in a rectangular cabinet with a footprint identical to other X-Line systems. As a linear array technology system, the Xsub(F) can be flown or ground-stacked with the Xsub non-flying version. Ring Mode Decoupling (RMD) provides level, independent fidelity, and the Xsub's new proprietary rigging allows for rapid venue load-in and load-out, linking hardware included.
Xvls
Cabinet
The Electro-Voice® Xvls is a high-output, 2,000-watt, three-way, LF/MB/HF linear-array technology system in a rectangular cabinet designed for the upper section of a linear array. The Xvls has a 90 degree horizontal coverage pattern, ideal for long throw applications. Its vertical coverage angle is approximately five degrees. The Xvls high-frequency section is comprised of three neodymium ND5A high-frequency compression drivers, dual, eight-inch, neodymium ND08 MB woofers mounted on a wide mid-bass horn, and dual, 15-inch EVX 155RMDDP (plate) low-frequency woofers.
A new EV Hydra™ time synchronized, high-frequency vertical plane wave generator provides excellent far-field summing. The cabinet's high-frequency section is asymmetrically loaded, providing flexibility to configure systems with high-frequency placed on or off stage. Ring Mode Decoupling (RMD) provides level-independent fidelity, greater mid-bass clarity and high-frequency accuracy. New proprietary rigging allows for rapid venue load-in and load-out, linking hardware included.
Xvlt
Cabinet
The Electro-Voice® Xvlt high-output, 2,000-watt, three-way, LF/MB/HF, linear-array technology system features a five degree trapezoidal cabinet design for the lower "J" section of the linear array, typically for medium throw assignment. The Xvlt delivers 120 degree horizontal coverage, and an approximate eight degree vertical coverage angle. Its high-frequency section is comprised of three neodymium ND5A high-frequency compression drivers, dual, eight-inch, neodymium ND08 MB woofers mounted on a wide mid-bass horn, and dual, 15-inch EVX 155RMDDP (plate) LF woofers.
A new EV Hydra™, time-synchronized, high-frequency, vertical plane wave generator provides excellent far-field summing. the Xvlt's high-frequency section is asymmetrically loaded, providing flexibility to configure systems with high-frequency placed on or off stage. Ring Mode Decoupling (RMD) provides level-independent fidelity, greater mid-bass clarity, and high-frequency accuracy.
