Loudspeaker System Electro-Voice XLD281

The XLD281 is a 3 –way design using CCT (Coverage Control Technology) to control horizontal coverage to 250 Hz. 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. Integrated rigging with hinge points located correctly between array elements is simple to use and quickly provides uncompromised line array performance. Ground stacking is easily done using Array Rails or subwoofers as the array base.

Most applications using flown very compact elements require subwoofers integrated into the same array as the full range systems. XLVC provides two methods to conveniently do this. The XS212 sub woofer module has the same rigging foot print as the XLD281 allowing it to be directly arrayed above, or below XLD281 full range systems. Where vertical space is limited sub woofer arrays can be created and flown behind the XLD281 full range array using an additional grid and a Coupler Beam. LAPS modeling software quickly provides array configurations and rigging information.

XLVC delivers unprecedented performance in applications ranging from live reinforcement to performing arts venues,to houses of worship.
