About EV Xi-Series Speaker Systems
Inspired by the features of EV´s acclaimed X-Array™ touring systems, the Xi-Series™ incorporates a potent combination of very-high-output and ultra-linear short-, medium- and long-throw systems, in two-way, three-way and four-way configurations. Xi-Series™ incorporates the acoustical advantage of EV´s unique Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™) and features HP horns to secure excellent directivity control and even coverage.
The three-way systems can be operated in a VBS™ (Vertical Beam Shaping) configuration using an EV DX38 processor or the DSP in our P-Series RL amplifiers.This unique approach extends the vertical coverage-angle control to as low as 125Hz - well below that permitted by the mid-bass horn alone (about 800Hz). These can be thought of as 2 and 3 element LF line arrays. This extraordinary LF control is achieved through optimized woofer placement in conjunction with presets that overlap the individual components (using All Pass Filters). To achieve sound performance without compromises Xi-Series™ is designed for multi-way active operation, except Xi-1082 which contains a passive crossover network.
Xi-Series™ is made of 18 mm 13-ply birch plywood finished in black textured paint and full-face protected by a vinyl- resp. powder-coated steel front-grille backed with foam. These horn loaded systems, except Xi-1123A/106F and
Xi-212A3/106F have an identical footprint for an uniform „look“. All systems except Xi-1082 have integrated handles and two L-Tracks on the top and bottom. A detailed “Flying manual” is available. |
