  • Page 24: Cardioid Subwoofer Arrays

    These arrays can be used to keep bass off of a stage, provide more consistent bass coverage in the audience, or reduce bass in the surrounding area. A cardioid deployment requires at least two X12i-128 subwoofers. Electro-Voice provides optimized DSP speaker settings for the X12i-128 in cardioid configurations. These settings can be implemented in hardware controlled by SONICUE or IRIS-Net software.
  • Page 25 X-Line Advance Install Designing an X12i-128 array | en Cardioid option A: Two X12i-128 subwoofers orientated horizontally. Direct the top subwoofer towards the audience and the bottom subwoofer away from the audience. Cardioid option B: Three X12i-128 subwoofers orientated horizontally. For ground stack applications, direct the top two subwoofers towards the audience and the bottom subwoofer away from the audience.
  • Page 26: Drain Holes

    In applications where the X12i-128 is located in an environment with direct rain exposure, Electro-Voice recommends that the drain holes are used. Notice! Opening the drain holes may cause minor air noises close to the subwoofer that will be inaudible at normal listening distances.
