Electro-voice XLC LINE-ARRAY BROCHURE
X-LINE COMPACT™ LINEAR ARRAY LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM
EV®Line Arrays: A Breed Apart
When EV designers built their first line array, they didn’t settle for average.
They developed a system that addressed every concern raised by line-array
users. The formidable EV
™
X-Line™not only provides easy rigging, but also
combines EV’s legendary sonic clarity and vocal intelligibility with the uniform,
predictable coverage that only a superior line array can offer.
Now, the same designers have distilled the incredible sound of the X-Line into
the new X-Line Compact. This revolutionary system delivers unprecedented
performance and amazing flexibility to sound designers and installers
everywhere. The applications list goes on and on: large indoor and outdoor
spaces, high-ceiling venues, performing arts centers, auditoriums, large houses
of worship with wide horizontal coverage requirements, coliseums, sports
facilities, gymnasiums… anywhere first-quality sound is needed permanently.
XLC: Technology in Service of Perfection
The X-Line’s legacy is readily evident in the new XLC. Exceptional stereo
imaging results from full-bandwidth midbass loading. Extended low-frequency
polar control produces uniform power response and enhances system
intelligibility. Onstage orientation of high-frequency components further
improves stereo imaging and reduces polar lobing in the mid-bass response.
Intelligent cabinet design minimizes the distance between drivers from cabinet
to cabinet, maintaining true line-array characteristics even in curved-front
arrays. Most importantly, the XLCuses EV’s revolutionary vertical plane-wave
generator to correct high-frequency phase response and make vertical
wave-front summing exceptionally coherent. All this adds up to incredible
sonic clarity and uniformity, even in hard-to-cover areas.
Cabinets
The XLCsystem is designed for use in groups of four or more cabinets.
As with the X-Line, three different cabinets offer maximum flexibility for
applications. They are the XLC127 main cabinet, the XLC124 down fill
cabinet, and the X
LC
118 subwoofer.
• The X
LC
127’s 3-way design employs an EV DL12 (X-variant) vented LF
transducer, two 6.5" MF transducers on a 120° horizontal wave guide,
and two EV DH2T 16-ohm HF transducers, each coupled through a
vertical plane-wave generator to a 120° x 7° wave guide. The system can
be either tri-amped or bi-amped in 2-way mode using the sophisticated
internal passive MF-to-HF network.
• The X
LC
124 provides critical under-the-array coverage. Its 3-way system uses
the same components in the same configuration as the X
LC
127, but only
one DH2T HF transducer on a 120° x 40° wave guide.
• The XLC118’s single EVX180B driver provides solid sub-bass extension
to the X
LC
127 and 124. It can be either flown or ground stacked.
Innovative Rigging
The XLC’s advanced integrated rigging frame and easy-to-use, custom system
hardware make one-person installations a reality. The captive front interlocking
system has no separate parts to keep track of and “disappears” into the frame
to maintain an uncluttered, attractive appearance. Single-pin rigging in the
rear allows quick, easy adjustment of cabinet angles and array aiming.
Straight-line arrays, curved arrays, and combinations of the two are all
immediately configurable for every coverage need. It couldn’t be easier.
