Description

Introducing a family of advanced sound

reinforcement products for everyone who

desires the sound quality of Electro-Voice's

X-Array™ touring systems. X-Array

Install™ is the ideal choice for small-to-me-

dium array configurations and fixed instal-

lations of any size.

Inspired by the most demanded features of

EV's acclaimed X-Array™ touring systems,

the X-Array Install™ series incorporates a

potent combination of very high output, me-

dium- to long-throw "cells," and Ring-Mode

Decoupling (RMD™).

RMD™

Ring-Mode Decoupling is the same advanced

technology built into the X-Array™ touring

series. RMD™ produces substantially im-

proved tonal character and fidelity whether

operated at low or extremely high sound pres-

sure levels. RMD™ attacks time domain

"ringing modes" at their sources. Mechani-

cal solutions resolve mechanical issues,

acoustical solutions address acoustical modes

found in all sound reinforcement systems.

The combination of each RMD™ technique

provides improved tonal character and fidel-

ity at increasing drive levels. The result is

clear, even sound quality with vastly im-

proved intelligibility.

DH6 Large-Format Driver

All multiway systems in the series are

equipped with EV's newly developed DH6

large-format compression driver. The DH6

compression driver incorporates many

RMD™ techniques, including a new tita-

nium diaphragm with increased internal me-

chanical damping that provides clear, intel-

ligible upper vocal performance. The phase

plug placed close to the diaphragm improves

acoustic damping and boosts output in the

10-to 20-kHz range.

Magnetics

Mid-bass and high-frequency drivers in

X-Array Install™ products use ferrite mag-

netics instead of the neodymium magnetics

used in X-Array™ touring systems. While

neodymium drivers provide unmatched out-

put capabilities, the advanced RMD™ tech-

nology used in X-Array Install™ produces

world class sound reinforcement at very high

levels.

Applications

The Xi-1122/85 loudspeaker system is ideal

for any professional touring or installation

application requiring accurate, high-level

sound reinforcement. Because of the unique

performance capabilities featured in this sys-

tem, the X-Array Install™ Xi-1122/85 of-

fers extremely wide-range music reproduc-

tion as well as accurate vocal coverage and

maximized intelligibility.

The Xi-1122/85 and associated controller

combinations are recommended for applica-

tions requiring full bandwidth down to

60 Hz. Where very high levels of deep bass

are required, maximum performance may be

achieved with the addition of the Xi-1191

(single 18-inch subwoofer). This subwoofer

system features the EVX-180B 18-inch

woofer and is designed to be used with as-

sociated processors.

Power Handling Test

Electro-Voice components and systems are

manufactured to exacting standards to en-

sure reliability in continuous use in arduous

real-life conditions. Besides utilizing indus-

try-standard power tests, extreme in-house

power tests which push the performance

boundaries of the loudspeakers are also per-

formed for an extra measure of reliability.

The Xi-1122/85 systems are rated per ANSI/

EIA RS-426-A Loudspeaker Power Rating,

Full Range Test, which uses a shaped-ran-
