Xi-1153A/64F

15-Inch Three-Way,

Full-Range 60° x 40°

Sound Reinforcement System

General Description:

The Electro-Voice® Xi-1153A/64F is a full-bandwidth, three­way, triamp system is designed for medium- to long-throw
applications. The orientation of LF section and the mid­bass 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 40° of pattern control above 300 Hz. VBS
uses filters to overlap the LF section bandpass with mid­bass bandpass. By carefully phase matching the acoustic
response in the overlap region the vertical pattern control is
dramatically improved. Frequency response on-axis is
unaffected, while gain before feedback is increased by 10
to 15 dB for microphones located under the loudspeaker.
Its high-frequency horn/driver section is rotatable to provide
proper coverage for vertical or horizontal system
installations. The low-frequency section is powered by a
15-inch driver (EVX-155) in a slot-loaded, closed box
configuration suitable for moderately high sound pressure
levels. When very high levels are desired we suggest
augmenting with the Xi-1191A. For maximum low-frequency
performance, combine in a four-way configuration. The
DL12ST 12-inch, application-specific mid-bass driver
features RMD™ and a 60° x 40° horn. The ND6-16 high­frequency driver/horn combination is fully “shrouded” to
preserve midbass wave-front detail.

CAUTION

This Xi Loudspeaker should be suspended overhead only in accordance with the procedures and limitations specified in the

X-Array Xi Install Flying Manual

hardware by an authorized rigging professional and in compliance with local, state, and federal overhead suspension ordinances.

Architectural & Engineering Specs:

The loudspeaker system shall be a three-way tri-amp system. The system shall have a 15-inch, low-frequency loudspeaker with a
nominal impedance of 8 ohms and a 4 inch aluminum voice coil. The low-frequency loudspeaker shall have a power handling capacity
of 600 watts with a shaped pinknoise signal with a 6-dB crest factor for 8 hours (as per ANSI/EIA RS-426 A & AES 2-1984) The mid-bass
loudspeaker shall be a fully horn loaded, 12-inch driver with a 2.5-inch voice coil and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. The mid-bass
driver shall have a power-handling capacity of 300 watts for 8 hours (as per ANSI/EIA RS-426 A). The high-frequency section shall be
coaxially mounted in the mid-bass horn and shall employ a compression driver capable of handling 75 watts, 1,760- to 20,000-Hz
when pink noise of a 6-dB crest factor is applied for 2 hours (as per AES 2-1984 and ANSI S4.26-1984 standards). The loudspeaker
shall be constructed of 18-mm, 13-ply birch and shall be trapezoidal in shape. The wedge angle shall be 18-degrees. The grille shall
be constructed from 16 GA powder-coated steel backed by acoustically transparent fabric. The system shall be capable of very-high
level operation with a band width of 46 to 19,000 Hz. The system dimensions shall be 586 mm (23.7 inches) wide by 914 mm (36.00
inches) high by 759 mm (29.88 inches) deep. The system shall employ flying hardware of a “track” style and two tracks on the enclosure
top and two tracks on the enclosure bottom. Net weight shall be 88.8 kg (195 lbs).

The loudspeaker shall be the Electro-Voice® Xi-1153A/64.
