About EV X-Array Speaker Systems
The X-Array™ X-Series™ represents important advancements in concert-sound reinforcement technology. The design goals called for the highest acoustic output capability with the highest fidelity in a relatively lightweight, compact enclosures that were easy to array. The individual systems, drivers, horns, enclosures, rigging hardware and system configurations were designed from the ground up specifically for this high-performance application. For additional easier handling special speaker dollies are available. RMD™ was another ingenious development when X-Array™ was “born”. EV´s tradional top-down development strategy brings this essential acoustic advantage “down” through 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 goes up or down in 30 minutes. Front rigging straps control vertical aiming, rear fixed hinge makes tilting easy. Mating positioning recesses on cabinet tops and bottoms help to assemble and disassemble an array on the ground, a layer at a time. A detailed 25 pages 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 3-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” titanium diaphragm.
Amping and Controller: X-Array™ is powered by EV´s world famous Precision Series™ and controlled by Klark Teknik DN 9848 digital 4-in/8-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. |
