X-Array

The X-Array™ X-Series™ represents important advancements in concert-sound reinforcement technology. The X-Array™ design produces the highest acoustic output with the highest fidelity in lightweight, compact enclosures that are easy to array. The individual systems, drivers, horns, enclosures, rigging hardware, and system configurations have been designed from the ground up specifically for concert-sound reinforcement. For additional easy handling, special speaker dollies are available. Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™) is another ingenious product of X-Array™ design. EV's tradional, top-down development strategy brings RMD™ technology to 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 can come up or down in 30 minutes. Front rigging straps control vertical aiming, and rear, fixed hinge makes tilting easy. Mating positioning recesses on the top and bottom of the cabinets help to assemble and disassemble arrays on the ground, a layer by layer. A detailed, 25-page, 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 three-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-inch titanium diaphragm.

Amping and Controller: X-Array™ is powered by EV´s world famous Precision Series™ and controlled by a Klark Teknik DN 9848 digital four-in/eight-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.
