0. Introduction
The X-Line Very Compact (XLVC) loudspeaker systems represent an important step in line-array technology for small- and medium-scale sound reinforcement. The individual loudspeaker drivers, acoustic lenses, acoustic waveguides, enclosures and rigging hardware were all designed specifically for the XLVC product line to not only achieve the highest acoustic output with the highest fidelity, but also to produce a precise wavefront from each element to achieve state-of-the- art line-array performance. A brief description of the product line is included below. The XLVC loudspeaker systems are shown in Figure 1 with key dimensions and features.
XLD281: Three-way, LF1/LF2/HF loudspeaker system with a 120°H x 10°V coverage pattern. The system includes two DVN2080 8-inch (203-mm) LF drivers and two ND2S-16 2-inch (51-mm) HF drivers. The XLD281 has a switchable crossover that allows either biamp or triamp operation. The XLD281 utilizes an enclosure that is trapezoidal in the vertical plane (with an 10° total included angle) and has XLVC 10° rigging tube and channel modules secured to the left and right enclosure sides.
XLE181: Two-way, LF/HF loudspeaker system with a 120°H x 10°V coverage pattern. The system includes one DVN2080 8-inch (203-mm) LF driver and two ND2S-16 2-inch (51-mm) HF drivers. The XLE181 has a switchable crossover that allows either biamp or passive operation. The XLE181 utilizes a narrower 10° trapezoidal enclosure than the XLD281 and has XLVC 10° rigging tube and channel modules secured to the left and right enclosure sides.
XS212: Dual Side-Firing Bass System with two DVX3120 12-inch (305-mm) woofers. The XS212 utilizes an enclosure that is rectangular in shape and has XLVC elongated 20° rigging tube and channel modules secured to the left and right enclosure sides.
