The Xb is a manifolded, vented-box bass system utilizing two 457-mm (18-in.) woofers. The two woofers face each other in a manifold chamber at the center of the enclosure. This manifolding technique (U.S. Patent Number 4,733,749) increases the acoustic loading, resulting in increased lowfrequency efficiency (at and slightly above box tuning) and reduced distortion compared to conventional direct-radiating designs. The woofers were designed as part of the Xb development and represent a step forward in state-of-the-art loudspeaker design in terms of high acoustic output with low distortion and low power compression. Electro-Voice engineers developed a new technology dubbed Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™) to substantially improve clarity and intelligibility by reducing both linear and nonlinear resonance modes that color the sound.
Features
