[. . . ] Xn X-ArrayTM Three-Way, LF/MB/HF System · Unprecedented acoustic output in small, lightweight package · Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMDTM) provides accurate transient detail · Near-field 60° x 40° rotatable coverage pattern · Neodymium ND5 HF and ND12A MB drivers and EVX-180B woofer · Unique rear-hinge rigging · Enclosure shell and rigging identical to all of the full-size X-ArrayTM systems Description The X-ArrayTM product line represents important advancements in concert-sound reinforcement technology. The design goals called for the highest acoustic output capability with the highest fidelity in lightweight, compact enclosures that were easy to array. The development began with a clean sheet of paper and took an integrated approach. The individual loudspeaker drivers, horns, enclosures, rigging hardware and system configurations were designed from the ground up specifically for this high-performance application. [. . . ] This facilitates wiring of multiple systems with amplifiers. When four Xn systems are jumped from one to another via the input/output connections, the amplifier home run cable will have four HF drivers on Pins 4 (for a 4-ohm load), four MB drivers on Pins 3 (for a 4-ohm load), two LF drivers on Pins 2 (for a 4-ohm load) and two LF drivers on Pins 1 (for a 4-ohm load). Flying the X-ArrayTM Systems The X-ArrayTM loudspeaker systems all utilize the same rigging hardware and have the same structural strength ratings. Thus, different systems may be mixed in an array to achieve the best acoustic results. The track/angle-bracket assembly extends from the top to the bottom of the enclosure, eliminating the load applied to the wooden enclosure. A complete line of flying-hardware accessories is available for the X-ArrayTM loudspeaker systems including a grid, rigging hinges and rigging straps. The variety of rigging hinges and front rigging straps available include those for linking two enclosures together, securing the top enclosure in a column to a grid, and for picking up the top enclosure in a column without a grid. Consult the X-ArrayTM Accessories section for a complete listing the available rigging accessories. The total weight of a column of X-ArrayTM loudspeaker systems that may be supported by the X-ArrayTM rigging system varies from 454-726 kg (1, 000-1, 600 lb) depending on the rigging configuration details. An X-ArrayTM Flying Manual is available from Electro-Voice and is included with each X-ArrayTM system shipment. The manual should be consulted for complete structural specifications and detailed instructions for safely suspending and using the X-ArrayTM systems. Field Replacement Normal service for the Xn requires only a 3 Xn Three-Way, LF/MB/HF System Xn Three-Way LF/MB/HF System Xn Three-Way, LF/MB/HF System #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 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 woofer and lift the driver out of the enclosure. In the event of failure, the entire woofer must be replaced. LF: First remove the grille, then remove the screws securing the hatch on the front of the enclosure. Remove the screws securing the 18-inch woofer and lift the driver out of the enclosure. In the event of failure, the entire woofer 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: #812-2858 ND12A complete driver LF: #818-2883 EVX-180B complete driver Architects' and Engineers' Specifications The loudspeaker system shall be a threeway, active, coaxial, LF/MB/HF system with a frequency response from 48-20, 000 Hz with crossover frequencies at 125 and 1, 760 Hz and a rotatable 60° x 40° constant-directivity coverage pattern.
