XLD281
The XLD281 is the core element for constructing X-Line Very Compact systems. The XLD281 is a three–way design using Coverage Control Technology (CCT™) to provide control horizontal coverage to 250Hz.
The XLD281 uses an eight-inch, neodymium, low-frequency transducer, an eight-inch, neodymium, LF/MB transducer, and two neodymium, two-inch, voice-coil compression drivers combining through two Hydra™ plane wave generators into a 120 degree x 10 degree waveguide. CCT™ uses both eight-inch transducers to provide maximum low-frequency output and operating bandwidth while controlling horizontal beamwidth to 250 Hz by using DSP. The XLD281 can be used in triamp mode, or in biamp using a sophisticated internal passive network.
Designed for use in arrays of four or more elements, the XLD281 delivers full-bandwidth audio with precise, predictable coverage control. Integrated rigging with hinge points located correctly between array elements is easy to use and quickly provides uncompromised line array performance. Ground-stacking is easy using array rails or subwoofers as the array base.

XGS-4 Groundstack
The X-Line Very Compact Groundstack Rails feature 3 rigging attachment positions to allow for single or dual columns of X-Line Very Compact Loudspeaker Arrays to be Groundstacked and tilted to obtain the desired sound coverage. The3 rigging attachment positions allow for 2 options -Stack dual arrays; an XLD281 array at the front position and an XS212 subwoofer array at the rear position.Stack a single array of XLD281’s, XLE181’s, or a combination of XLD281’s and XS212’s at the middle position.

Xsub(F)
The Electro-Voice® Xsub(F) high-output, dual, 1200-watt, subwoofer system features EVX 180B woofers in a rectangular cabinet with a footprint identical to other X-Line systems. As a linear array technology system, the Xsub(F) can be flown or ground-stacked with the Xsub non-flying version. Ring Mode Decoupling (RMD) provides level, independent fidelity, and the Xsub's new proprietary rigging allows for rapid venue load-in and load-out, linking hardware included. One of four application-specific X-Line™ models.
XS212
The XS212 is a double, 12-inch, bass cabinet featuring two of the new DVX3120 woofers. A unique configuration allows side-firing transducers to match the XLD281 horizontal coverage and match the rigging footprint. This allows the use of XS212 above or below arrays of XLD281 or, if vertical space is limited to be flown behind the full range array. Depending on music style and taste the ratio of XLD to XS212 is three or four to one. One ground-stacked XS212 is the same height as two XLD281, which is convenient for transportation. EV® is one of the very few loudspeaker manufacturers that has the experience, heritage, and capability to design and build their own transducers. The DVX3120 is the latest model from the new DVXSeries. Forced-air, voice-coil cooling provides very low-power compression for very high SPL capability, low distortion, and reliability.
CP3000S
Electro-Voice’s new Precision Series Compact amplifiers offer proven Precision Series performance and reliability in a new compact, lightweight format made possible by a highly efficient Class-H design, which generates considerably less heat. The CP3000S is not only the first Precision Series amplifier to use a switch-mode power supply, but also the first switch-mode amplifier with EV’s Precision Series sound. With up to 2x1600 watts into two ohms, and 2x1100 watts into four ohms, and only 17.96 lbs (8.15 kg), it is both powerful and lightweight. The CP3000S is state-of-the-art and can be used for any application. It is specifically designed to allow for long-term driving of low loads into subwoofers without stress. The CP3000S's combination of reliability and pleasing, rich sound make it the the first choice for all mid and hi-range speaker cabinets.

Xlc215
EV engineers have defined a new group of compact line array elements, the XLC. It is comprised of three components - XLC 127+ full-range with ND6-16 large-format, high-frequency transducers and two subwoofer systems. The XLC 118 sub cabinet uses an EVX-180B, and the XLC 215 uses two DVX3150’s. Both are true sub-bass systems designed for high-level, extended low-frequency output. They share the same enclosure footprint and rigging is identical to the other XLC systems, allowing flexible subwoofer integration with full-range arrays requiring extended low-frequency response. With a height 1.5 times that of the XLC 127+, a subwoofer array can be flown side-by-side with column appearances similar to the main array using a ratio of two subs for every three full-range boxes. Subwoofer systems can also be placed at the top or bottom of full-range arrays for seamless, arrayed, four-way system integration. Designed for use in groups of two or more, the subwoofer delivers predictability and control. Combined with an advanced integrated rigging system, one-man installations are also possible. The subwoofer systems can also be ground-stacked. Ideal for applications ranging from live reinforcement, to performing arts venues, to houses of worship, to sports facilities, XLC provides the power to make it happen. XLC delivers unprecedented performance, particularly in difficult acoustic environments.
