Description
Introducing a family of advanced sound
reinforcement products for everyone who
desires the sound quality of Electro-Voice's
X-Array™ touring systems. X-Array
Install™ is the ideal choice for small-to-me-
dium array configurations and fixed instal-
lations of any size.
Inspired by the most demanded features of
EV's acclaimed X-Array™ touring systems,
the X-Array Install™ series incorporates a
potent combination of very high output, me-
dium- to long-throw "cells," and Ring-Mode
Decoupling (RMD™).
RMD™
Ring-Mode Decoupling is the same advanced
technology built into the X-Array™ touring
series. RMD™ produces substantially im-
proved tonal character and fidelity whether
operated at low or extremely high sound pres-
sure levels. RMD™ attacks time domain
"ringing modes" at their sources. Mechani-
cal solutions resolve mechanical issues,
acoustical solutions address acoustical modes
found in all sound reinforcement systems.
The combination of each RMD™ technique
provides improved tonal character and fidel-
ity at increasing drive levels. The result is
clear, even sound quality with vastly im-
proved intelligibility.
Magnetics
Mid-bass and high-frequency drivers in
X-Array Install™ products use ferrite mag-
netics instead of the neodymium magnetics
used in X-Array™ touring systems. While
neodymium drivers provide unmatched out-
put capabilities, the advanced RMD™ tech-
nology used in X-Array Install™ produces
world class sound reinforcement at very high
levels.
Applications
The Xi-1082 loudspeaker system is ideal for
any professional touring or installation ap-
plication requiring accurate, high-level,
sound reinforcement. Because of the unique
performance capabilities featured in this sys-
tem, the X-Array Install™ Xi-1082 offers
extremely wide-range music reproduction as
well as accurate vocal coverage and maxi-
mized intelligibility. It's single 8-inch woofer
avoids the mid-bane interference nulls of the
dual spaced woofers in "traditional" under
balcony systems.

sure reliability in continuous use in arduous
real-life conditions. Besides utilizing indus-
try-standard power tests, extreme in-house
power tests which push the performance
boundaries of the loudspeakers are also per-
formed for an extra measure of reliability.
The Xi-1082 systems are rated per ANSI/
EIA RS-426-A Loudspeaker Power Rating,
Full Range Test, which uses a shaped-ran-
dom-noise signal to simulate typical music
to test the mechanical and thermal capabili-
ties of the loudspeakers. Specifically,
the Xi-1082 passes the ANSI/EIA
RS-426-A power test with the following test
parameters:

Suspending the Xi-1082
The Xi-1082 is fitted with several threaded
inserts and can be suspended as follows:
1. Two 3/8-16 threaded inserts are located
on each side of the enclosure to allow
the use of the Mb1082 mounting bracket.
The Mb1082 is a universal U-bracket de
signed to allow the suspension of the Xi-
1082 at any angle and orientation from
