QX364 Specications

FEATURES

• High output, single or bi-amplied, two-way performance

• Broadband pattern control

• Ultra-ecient HF compression driver

• Four Phase Aligned™ 10-in cone transducers (vertical and horizontal pairs)

• Installation exibility, compact size

DESCRIPTION

The new QX300 Series design delivers great output and renowned broadband pattern control similar to the QX500 Series three-way, but in a new compact two-way format. Its large 4-in voice coil high frequency compression driver makes it possible to cover the mid-range frequencies. Its high output level makes it appropriate for medium throws in arenas and stadiums or high-energy applications like live music venues or dance clubs. Its broadband pattern control lets it tame hostile acoustical environments like cathedrals or highly reverberant public spaces, and its exceptional delity pleases the most critical listeners in concert halls and performing arts centers.

The QX364 has an ultra-ecient and unique high frequency compression driver with a 60° x 45° constant directivity horn (one of six horn patterns available, ranging from 60° x 45° to 120° x 60°). Four Phase Aligned™ 10-in low frequency transducers arranged as vertical and horizontal pairs leverage benecial interaction based on their spacing to extend pattern control.

Because the four low frequency transducers surround the high compression driver symmetrically in the horizontal and vertical planes, response across the full frequency spectrum appears to originate from a single point in space.

Users can select between single-amp and bi-amp operating modes. Additionally, each woofer pair is brought out to the input plate independently to permit independent, series, or parallel wiring. Combined, these features oer enormous installation exibility.

Six year warranty.

NOTES

TABULAR DATA

1. Measurement/Data Processing Systems: Primary - FChart: proprietary EAW software; Secondary - Brüel & Kjær 2012.

2. Microphone Systems: Earthworks M30; Brüel & Kjær 4133

3. Measurements: Dual channel FFT; length: 32 768 samples; sample rate: 48 kHz; logarithmic sine wave sweep.

4. Measurement System Qualication (includes all uncertainties): SPL: accuracy +/-0.2 dB @ 1 kHz, precision +/-0.5 dB 20 Hz to 20 kHz, resolution 0.05 dB; Frequency: accuracy +/-1 %, precision +/-0.1 Hz, resolution the larger of 1.5 Hz or 1/48 octave; Time: accuracy +/-10.4 μs, precision +/-0.5 μs, resolution 10.4 μs; Angular: accuracy +/-1°, precision +/-0.5°, resolution 0.5°.

5. Environment: Measurements time-windowed and processed to eliminate room eects, approximating an anechoic environment. Data processed as anechoic or fractional space, as noted.

6. Measurement Distance: 7.46 m. Acoustic responses represent complex summation of the subsystems at 20 m. SPL is referenced to other distances using the Inverse Square Law.

7. Enclosure Orientation: For beamwidth and polar specications, as shown in Mechanical Specication drawing.

8. Volts: Measured rms value of the test signal.

9. Watts: Per audio industry practice, “loudspeaker watts” are calculated as voltage squared divided by rated nominal impedance. Thus, these are not True Watt units of energy as dened by International Standard.

10. SPL: (Sound Pressure Level) Equivalent to the average level of a signal referenced to 0 dB SPL = 20 microPascals.

11. Subsystem: This lists the transducer(s) and their acoustic loading for each passband. Sub = Subwoofer, LF = Low Frequency, MF = Mid Frequency, HF = High Frequency.

12. Operating Mode: User selectable congurations. Between system elements, a comma (,) = separate amplier channels; a slash (/) = single amplier channel. DSP = Digital Signal Processor. IMPORTANT: To achieve the specied performance, the listed external signal processing must be used with EAW-provided settings.

13. Operating Range: R ange where the processed Frequenc y Response stays within -10 dB SPL of the power averaged SPL within this range; measured on the geometric axis. Narrow band dips are excepted.

14. Nominal Beamwidth: Design angle for the -6 dB SPL points, referenced to 0 dB SPL as the highest level.

15. Axial Sensitivit y: Power averaged SPL over the Operating Range with an input voltage that would produce 1 W at the nominal impedance; measured with no external processing on the geometric axis, referenced to 1 m.

16. Nominal I mpedance: Selected 4, 8, or 16 ohm resistance such that the minimum impedance point is no more than 20% below this resistance over the Operating Range.

17. Accelerated Life Test: Maximum test input voltage applied with an EIA-426B dened spectrum; measured with recommended signal processing and Recommended Protection Filter.

18. Calculated Axial Output Limit: Highest average and peak SPLs possible during the Accelerated Life Test. The Peak SPL represents the 2:1 (6 dB) crest factor of the Life Test signal.

19. H igh Pass Filter: This helps protect the loudspeaker from excessive input signal levels at frequencies below the Operating Range.

GRAPHIC DATA

1. Resolution: To remove insignicant ne details, 1/12 octave cepstral smoothing was applied to acoustic frequency responses and 1/3 octave cepstral smoothing was applied to the beamwidth and impedance data. Other graphs are plotted using raw data.

2. Frequency Responses: Variation in acoustic output level with frequency for a constant input signal. Processed: normalized to 0 dB SPL. Unprocessed inputs: 2 V (4 ohm nominal impedance), 2.83 V (8 ohm nominal impedance), or 4 V (16 ohm nominal impedance) referenced to a distance of 1 m.

3. Processor Response: The variation in output level with frequency for a constant input signal of 0.775 V = 0 dB reference.

4. Beamwidth: Average angle for each 1/3 octave frequency band where, starting from the rear of the loudspeaker, the output rst reaches -6 dB SPL referenced to 0 dB SPL as the highest level. This method means the output may drop below -6 dB SPL within the beamwidth angle.

5. Impedance: Variation in impedance magnitude, in ohms, with frequency without regard to voltage/current phase. This means the impedance values may not be used to calculate True Watts (see 9 above).

6. Polar Data: Horizontal and vertical polar responses for each 1/3 octave frequency band 100 Hz to 16 kHz or Operating Range.

EAW Focusing: Digital Signal Processor capable of implementing EAW Focusing.
