About EV X-Line Speaker Systems
Development of the new EV® X-Line™ system was driven by the need for a high-level concert touring enclosure that combines 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 in the development of X-Array™ with the absolute latest state-of-the-art technologies. As a matter 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 system intelligibility. The overall power response of the X-Line™ is very uniform across a wide frequency spectrum, thus enabling the system's very musical sonic character.
The X-Line is designed to allow one-person rigging while exhibiting both flat-front long-throw and curvedfrontarc segment—or J-box—orientations. X-Line™,Electro-Voice’s realization of that classic J orientation,maximizes vertical-plane wave summing andeliminates the physical gaps between the rectangularenclosures at the J portion of the hang.Because such gaps separate the high-frequencyradiating planes and result in non-coherent summingwhen the wavelengths are shorter than thespacings between rectangular enclosures, theX-Line™ simply provides cleaner sound.Four application-specific enclosures—Xvls,Xvlt, Xfil, and Xsub—compose the EV X-Line™ system.Each represents a no-compromise approachthat recognizes the extreme performance requirementsand level-independent integrity demandednot just by line arrays, but also by many other contemporarysound reinforcement designs.
