X-Array

X-Array™ speaker systems provide world class performance and flexibility for the ultimate in concert touring systems. It incorporates unique „one-man“ rigging and neodymium magnets for very large arrays.

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.

Dual 18- inch low-frequency element for X-Array clusters
18-inch low frequency system. Use for more modest LF requirements or for smaller load ins/load outs. Two-thirds-height enclosure shell.
Compact two-way 12-inch medium-throw MB/HF system. The MB/HF section of the Xn. Use for down fill at the bottom of the hang, or when smaller load ins/load outs are desired. Two-thirds-height enclosure shell.
Two-way dual-12-inch horn-loaded MB/HF system. Adds long-throw "punch" to the capabilities of the medium and short-throw X-Series™ systems. Operates above 125 Hz, with low-frequency augmentation provided by full-range or low-frequency system. Dual, vertically stacked Hf drivers mount on a "twin format" 40° x 20° horn.
Three-way 18-inch medium-throw full-range system. Horn-loaded mid-bass section. Coaxial HF section asymmetrically placed (RMD™ technique).
Now with Electro-Voice ND6 3" Titanium HF Compression Driver with Neodymium Motor. New recessed handles for easy and smooth carrying. Two-way 12-inch floor monitor. Rugged low-profile enclosure of 12-ply birch, uniquely curved for friendly handling. Symetrical design allows two monitors to be placed side-by-side so that the HF horns are coupled for high-level, large-stage applications 80° x 55° constant-directivity horn is orientated to provide narrower coverage side to side and wider coverage up and down -- helping to isolate adjacent monitor mixes and provide extended front-to-back stage coverage.
Two-way 15-inch floor monitor. Now with Electro-Voice ND6 3" Titanium HF Compression Driver with Neodymium Motor. New recessed handles for easy and smooth carrying. The unique characteristics of the Xw12 plus EVX-155 woofer for increased bass output and lower distortion.
