It includes 1500W amplification for the woofer and digital signal control by DSP. The manufacturer presets (LPF90+, LP110+, LPF130+, LPF90-, LPF110-, LPF130-) make it easy, flexible and user- friendly.
- Page 9 Master Audio 4.1. Technical description The X-18W cabinet comes with DSP control, with direct radiation transducer and acoustic bass reflex cabinet. As a bass reinforcement system, its frequency response is 35Hz-130Hz (+/- 3dB) with a usable bandwidth between 30Hz-140Hz (-10dB, preset LPF130).
- Page 10 The X-18W includes six manufacturer presets for different types of application. The DSP system can also store up to 16 other presets, depending on user requirements. ATTENTION: When the X-18W is used in conjunction with the X-12C and X-15C in XOVER preset, the X-18W must operate in positive polarity (LPF90+, LP110+, LPF130+).

Fig.9. Orientation of Xcellence full range units(X-12C, X-15C) The X-12C and X-15C models incorporate a 35mm pole mount socket for standard tripod in the upper and lower sides. To use the socket, unscrew the four bolts on the central face plate. -
Page 15: Mounting Accessories
Do not use the tripod on sloping surfaces nor mount the cabinets too high to avoid total instability of the system. The wedge shape of X-12C and X-15C units allows for use an onstage monitor without the need of incorporating any other accessory. Remember to use the MONITOR preset in this case. - Page 16 Master Audio 2- Set the optional accessory HC-X (hook clamp) on the UB-X bracket. Block it with a self-locking nut. Use the central hole (marked with an arrow). 3- Set the M10 knobs on both laterals. 4- Set the UB-X bracket onto X12/15C cabinet. Block both laterals with the M10 knobs.
