[. . . ] EV® is the only manufacturer that offers: P L E R IN IM · Two options of size and performance: XLD or XLE · Two ND2HF drivers for maximum output & headroom Y R A In addition X-Line Very Compact delivers: · Unrivalled even front-to-back and side-to-side coverage · Easy to set-up, transport and operate · Complete system including DSP, amplification, and rigging X-Line Very Compact ­ in concert & touring applications While expectations of audio performance in terms of SPL, natural response and uniform coverage have expanded, demand for smaller and lighter sound systems has increased. X-Line Very compact offers the best of both worlds: XLD systems are capable of producing concert SPL levels on full bandwidth in small to medium sized venues. Smaller XLE-systems are ideal for critical audio requirements where overall cluster size is highest priority. Both systems are well suited for many types of live and install applications. [. . . ] Both systems are well suited for many types of live and install applications. EV's HydraTM used in X-Line and XLC has an overall height of 7-inches (17. 5cm). In order to maintain the extraordinary HF response, a new 4-inch (10cm) Hydra was developed to match the DVN2080 8-inch woofer. Each of the two Hydras is driven by the new ND2S, a 2" neodymium compression driver. A single waveguide is fed with the plane wave from the hydras resulting in wide bandwidth, even horizontal coverage, and predictable vertical coverage. The High Frequency Advantage of X-Line Very Compact ­ new HydraTM Elements and new Neodymium Drivers X-Line Very Compact ­ System Components XLD281 Full bandwidth 3-way line array element · · · · · · · · · Full Bandwidth 3-way Element (60Hz-20kHz) Very Compact, Lightweight CCT TM (Coverage Control Technology) 120° Horizontal Coverage to 250 Hz Simple, Quick Integrated Rigging Versatile Subwoofer Integration Bi-Amp or Tri-Amp Operation Neodymium Transducers LAPS Aiming and Flying Software EL PR Beamwidth The XLD 281 is the core element for constructing X-Line Very Compact systems. The XLD281 is a 3 ­way design using CCTTM (Coverage Control Technology) to control horizontal coverage to 250Hz. It uses a 8" neodymium LF transducer, a 8" neodymium LF/MB transducer, and two neodymium 2" voice coil compression drivers combining through 2 hydra plane wave generators into a 120° x 10° waveguide. CCT uses both 8" transducers to provide maximum low frequency output and operating bandwidth while controlling horizontal beam width to 250 Hz by using DSP. The XLD281 can be used in tri-amp mode, or in bi-amp using a sophisticated internal passive network. Designed for use in arrays of four or more elements the XLD281 delivers full bandwidth audio with precise, predictable coverage control. The footprint of the Dolly is 80cm (32 inch) by 85 cm (33. 4 inch) to match truck space by using three wide. P E R I L IN M Technical Specifications Freq.
