General Description:

The Electro-Voice®Xi-1123A/106F is a triamp-ready, three- way system in a unique two-element-line-array configuration designed for use in reverberant spaces. The orientation of LF section and the mid-bass horn create a two-element line array that extends vertical pattern control to below 350 Hz. Using VBS (Vertical Beam Shaping) technology this benefit can be increased by another 20° to 30° of pattern control above 300 Hz. VBS uses filters to overlap the LF section bandpass with mid-bass bandpass. By carefully phase matching the acoustic response in the overlap region, the vertical pattern control is dramatically improved as seen in the graphs on Page 2. Frequency response on- axis is unaffected, while gain before feedback is increased by 10 to 15 dB for microphones located under the loudspeaker. The DL10X 10-inch mid-bass driver features RMD™ and is coupled to a rotatable 100° x 60° vertical horn. The high-frequency system uses an ND6-16 large- format compression driver with a rotatable 100° x 60° horn. It is mounted within the upper woofer enclosure to provide a compact vertical size. The Xi-1123A/106 is ideally suited for high-level, high-fidelity applications. The system is particularly suited where extended vertical polar control is necessary. Its low-frequency capability allows the system to be used in many applications without a subwoofer. For applications requiring very high low-frequency sound pressure levels as well as very accurate vocal reproduction, the Xi-1123A/106 may be coupled with the Electro-Voice Xi- 1191A or Xi-2181A.
