Description Brand: Electro-Voice MPN: XB Type: EV Active/Passive: Passive Model: XB Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
The X-Array™ 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.
The Xb is a manifolded, vented-box bass system utilizing two 457-mm (18-in.) woofers. The two woofers face each other in a manifold chamber at the center of the enclosure. This manifolding technique (U.S. Patent Number 4,733,749) increases the acoustic loading, resulting in increased lowfrequency efficiency (at and slightly above box tuning) and reduced distortion compared to conventional direct- radiating designs. The woofers were designed as part of the Xb development and represent a step forward in state-of-the-art loudspeaker design in terms of high acoustic output with low distortion and low power compression.
Electro-Voice engineers developed a new technology dubbed Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™) to substantially improve clarity and intelligibility by reducing both linear and nonlinear resonance modes that color the sound.
