[. . . ] Xcn X-ArrayTM Two-Way, MB/HF System · MB and HF sections are identical to Xn · Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMDTM) provides accurate transient detail · Near-field 60° x 40° rotatable coverage pattern · Neodymium ND5 HF and ND12A MB drivers · Unique rear-hinge rigging · Enclosure shell and rigging identical to all of the half-size X-ArrayTM systems Decoupling (RMDTM) to substantially improve clarity and intelligibility by reducing both linear and nonlinear resonance modes that color the sound. The high-frequency driver in the Xcn is the ND5, which is a 3. 56-mm (1. 4-in. ) exit high-frequency compression driver that features a powerful neodymium motor structure that was optimized for maximum efficiency and reduced power compression. A new 76. 2-mm (3. 0-in. )-diameter titanium diaphragm assembly provides increased instantaneous peak output capability and reduced dome breakup. The ND5 is mounted on a 60° x 40° rotatable constantdirectivity horn. [. . . ] Thus, different systems may be mixed in an array to achieve the best acoustic results. The rigging system allows for the smallest possible spacing between adjacent enclosures, and utilizes quick-release rigging fittings for fast installation and tear down. When flown, the X-ArrayTM enclosures are linked together by two removable hinges on the rear of the enclosures at the top and bottom. This arrangement enables the enclosures to pivot vertically from the rear corners. The relative vertical angle between adjacent enclosures is adjustable and set by two removable rigging straps on the front of the enclosures at the top and bottom. Both the rear rigging hinges and the front rigging straps are installed when enclosures are sitting on top of one another. For ease of installation of the hinges and straps, the enclosures self align using feet and cups mounted on the top and bottom of the enclosures. The relative horizontal angle between adjacent columns of loudspeakers is set by adjustable grids at the top of the array (or by custom-building attachment supports in permanent-installation applications where grids are not used). Field Replacement Normal service for the Xcn requires only a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a 3/16-inch hexkey wrench. The drivers may be accessed as follows: HF: First remove the grille, then remove the screws securing the front flange of the high-frequency horn. Lift the horn and driver out of the shroud assembly. In the event of failure, the diaphragm assembly Xcn Two-Way MB/HF System The Xcn wiring diagram is shown in Figure 7. Since the connectors are paralleled, it does not matter which connector is used as the input or output when paralleling Xcn systems. Although Pins 1 and 2 are not used by the Xcn systems, they are paralleled on the input panel. This allows an XArrayTM bass box (like the Xb or Xcb ­ 3 Xcn T T wo-W ay MB/HF System ay , Xcn wo-W MB/HF System can be replaced with the driver attached to the horn. MB: Remove the screws securing the hatch on the back of the enclosure and lift the hatch out. Remove the screws securing the 12-inch driver and lift the driver out of the enclosure. In the event of failure, the entire driver must be replaced. The following service parts are available from the service department in Buchanan, Michigan USA: HF: #84423-XX 16-ohm ND5-16 diaphragm kit #827-2973 ND5-16 complete driver MB: LF: #812-2858 ND12A complete driver #818-2883 EVX-180B complete driver 759 mm (29. 88 in. ) deep and shall weigh 60. 8 kg (134 lb). The loudspeaker system shall be the Electro-Voice Xcn. Rigging Accessories Grid: This ATM Fly-WareTM "T"-shaped, all-steel-construction grid was specifically designed as a single column of X-ArrayTM systems. Multiple grids can be linked together with couplers on front and back retractable arms, the position of which sets the splay angle between adjacent columns.
