Line-Array Element

XLE181 2-Way, High­Output, Very Compact
Line-Array Element

▪ Very Compact, Lightweight

▪ Simple, Quick Integrated Rigging

▪ 120° Horizontal Coverage

▪ Bi-Amp or Full-Range Operation

▪ Neodymium Transducers

The XLE181 is a 2–way using a single 8" neodymium LF
transducer and two neodymium 2" voice coil
compression drivers combining through 2 hydra plane
wave generators into a 120° x 10° waveguide. The
XLE181 can be used in biamp or full-range modes
using a sophisticated internal passive network. It is
designed for use in arrays of four or more elements.
The XLE181 delivers full bandwidth audio with precise,
predictable coverage control. Integrated rigging with
hinge points located correctly between array elements
is simple to use and quickly provides uncompromised
line array performance.
The XLVC family consists of two full-range systems
with dual woofers, two full-range systems with single
woofers and a subwoofer system. The dual-woofer
versions include the XLD281 with a 120° horizontal
coverage pattern and the XLD291 with a 90° horizontal
coverage pattern. The single woofer versions include
the XLE181 with a 120° horizontal coverage pattern
and the XLE191 with a 90° horizontal coverage
pattern. LAPS2 modeling software quickly provides
array configurations and rigging information.
X-Line Very Compact delivers unprecedented
performance in applications ranging from live
reinforcement to performing arts venues to houses of
worship.
