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 installations 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, mediumto 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 improved tonal character and fidelity whether operated at low or extremely high sound pressure levels. RMD™ attacks time domain "ringing modes" at their sources. Mechanical 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 fidelity at increasing drive levels. The result is
clear, even sound quality with vastly improved intelligibility.
Magnetics
Mid-bass and high-frequency drivers in X-Array Install™ products use ferrite magnetics instead of the neodymium magnetics used in X-Array™ touring systems. While neodymium drivers provide unmatched output capabilities, the advanced RMD™ technology used in X-Array Install™ produces world class sound reinforcement at very high levels.
Applications
The Xi-1082 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 system, the X-Array Install™ Xi-1082 offers extremely wide-range music reproduction as well as accurate vocal coverage and maximized intelligibility. It's single 8-inch woofer avoids the mid-bane interference nulls of the dual spaced woofers in "traditional" under balcony systems.
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 performed for an extra measure of reliability. The Xi-1082 systems are rated per ANSI/ EIA RS-426-A Loudspeaker Power Rating, Full Range Test, which uses a shaped-ran- dom-noise signal to simulate typical music to test the mechanical and thermal capabilities of the loudspeakers. Specifically, the Xi-1082 passes the ANSI/EIA RS-426-A power test with the following test parameters:
PE(MAX):
Test Voltages:
RSR(1.15 RE):
Suspending the Xi-1082
The Xi-1082 is fitted with several threaded inserts and can be suspended as follows:
1.Two 3/8-16 threaded inserts are located on each side of the enclosure to allow the use of the Mb1082 mounting bracket. The Mb1082 is a universal U-bracket de signed to allow the suspension of the Xi1082 at any angle and orientation from

the wall or ceiling. Full instructions are included with the Mb1082.
2.OmniMount Series 100 support system. Four 5/16-18 threaded inserts are located in the rear panel to allow use of the OmniMount Series 100 support system. Full instructions can be obtained from:

WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the mounting surface has sufficient rigidity to support the Xi-1082 and that the mounting bracket is correctly fitted to the surface and to the Xi-1082. Suspending an object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the Xi-1082 is safely installed in accordance with applicable regulations. If the Xi-1082 is suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately.
