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 advance-
ments in concert-sound reinforcement technology. Design
goals called for the highest acoustic output capability with
the highest fidelity in relatively lightweight, compact enclo-
sures that were easy to array. The individual systems, drivers,
horns, enclosures, rigging hardware and system configura-
tions were designed from the ground up specifically for this
high-performance application. For easier handling, special
speaker dollies are available.
RMD™ X-Array™’s design process also resulted in the
development of EV’s most ingenious acoustic technologies,
RMD™. RMD™ gives X-Array™ unprecedented acoustic
output and excellent directivity control.EV´s traditional top-
down development strategy ensured the incorporation of
this essential acoustic advantage into other EV products.
Rigging for Large Arrays: unique rear-hinge system 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 position-
ing recesses on cabinet tops and bottoms help to assemble
and disassemble an array on the ground, a layer at a time. A
detailed flying manual and structural ratings handbook is
available. The X-Array™ one-person rigging hardware has
earned 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” titanium
diaphragm.
Amping and Controller: X-Array™ is powered by EV´s
world-famous Precision Series™ amplifiers and controlled by
Klark Teknik DN9848 digital 4-in/8-out controller, DSP con-
trolled Precision Series amplifiers, or the Electro-Voice Dx38
for flexible and easy configurations.
X-Array™ is constructed from 13-ply birch plywood fin-
ished in black textured paint and protected by a powder-
coated steel front grille backed with foam.
