XW12A

12” Two-Way,

Full-Range Passive

Concert Stage Monitor

General Description:

The Electro-Voice® Xw12A full-range, two-way, floor monitor
loudspeaker system is part of the Electro-Voice X-Array™ series
and is intended for high-level sound reinforcement in fixed-installation
and touring-sound applications. The Xw12A is a full-range biamped
floor monitor speaker system which may be used with the Electro­Voice Dx38 digital crossover , the Klark T eknik DN9848 or other high­quality, signal-controller system. The Xw12A uses a DL12ST 12­inch woofer for low-frequency reproduction with a Thermal Inductive
Ring, (TIR™), a nonmagnetic pole piece extension that controls
inductance and, most importantly , provides a major heat transfer
path from the top of the voice coil to minimize power compression.
For high frequencies, the Xw12A uses the ND6-16, a 3-inch
diaphragm 1.4-inch-exit neodymium compression driver for very
high output. Its unique one-piece, geometrically optimized titanium
dome and suspension combined with its high-energy neodymium
magnetic motor provide maximum efficiency and precise control of
the diaphragm motion. The compression driver is coupled to an 80º
x 55º horn. This flat-front, constant-directivity horn is based on the
Electro-Voice HP series, and is geometrically optimized for
performance from 1,250-20,000 Hz. The Xw12A is constructed of
18-mm void free, 3/4-inch 12-ply curved plywood shell which is
extremely rigid. The baffle and end pieces are made from 18-mm
13-ply birch plywood. This high-strength enclosure is sprayed with
a resilient, textured black finish for a professional appearance. The
Xw12A enclosure incorporates a 55° concert stage monitor angle.
The flush-mounted, integrated handles on both ends of the enclosure
make transportation easy .
