Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not provided by Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others. Electro-Voice assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation, or operation of the product.
These Electro-Voice loudspeakers have structural components that use stainless steel. Chlorine can degrade stainless steel over time and reduce its structural performance. Do not use these Electro-Voice loudspeakers in environments with high chlorine content, such as indoor swimming pools. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

en | System overview X-Line Advance Install X1i Passive line array elements Each X1i-212 full-range element consists of one SMX2121 12-inch (304.8 mm) LF driver coupled to a MBH (Mid Band Hydra), and two ND2R 2-inch (50.8 mm) titanium diaphragm HF drivers.
en | Wiring and connections X-Line Advance Install Wiring and connections X-Line Advance Install loudspeakers utilize heavy duty input panels, with dual 8-conductor Phoenix terminal blocks (Phoenix Contact P/N 1709212). The connectors can accommodate up to 8 AWG stranded wire. Each loudspeaker includes a weather plate and gland nuts to ensure that all electrical contacts are protected from rain.

X-Line Advance Install Wiring and connections | en Connect each wire to the appropriate terminal on the terminal block. Connect the terminal block onto the input connector, and secure in place with the (2) captive screws. Adjust the cable assembly in the cup and tighten the gland nuts.
There are two methods of deploying X1i and X2i line arrays: With a custom frame, or with the optional Electro-Voice grid and rigging kits. The Electro-Voice grid and rigging kits (sold separately) are a cost-effective method to suspend smaller, simple arrays quickly. One rigging kit is needed for each element in the array.

Qualified professionals must carry out the design, construction, and installation of custom frames, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not provided by Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others. Standard custom frame Cardioid array in custom frame Warning! Use two or more people to lift and move X12i-128 subwoofers.

X-Line Advance Install Designing an X12i-128 array | en Use Electro-Voice EBK-M10-4PACK Eyebolt Kit for proper suspension. Follow the instruction for safe suspension in the EBK-M10 Eyebolt User Instructions, included with the kit. Warning! Always suspend X12i-128 from the top of the enclosure, relative to its orientation. Never suspend an X12i-128 or any other speaker from the bottom of an X12i-128.
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.

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.
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.
Only certified structural engineers should be used to design any custom suspension frame. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. Warning! Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker array not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others. Warning! The simplified designs shown are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent or imply a complete design from Electro-Voice.
