Introduction

X15 HiQ reference stage monitor

The X15 HiQ is an active coaxial system designed as a reference stage monitor. The enclosure features a 3" diaphragm
compression driver coaxially-loaded by a 15" low frequency transducer in a bass-reex cabinet. The L-Vents laminar
vented ports reduce turbulence and port noise at high levels to increase LF efciency.
The X15 HiQ operates from 55 Hz to 20 kHz. The coaxial transducer arrangement and its ellipsoid waveguide produce
a 40° × 60° directivity pattern with a smooth tonal response free of secondary lobes over the entire frequency range. As
a result, X15 HiQ boasts an exceptional immunity to feedback.
The L-Acoustics amplied controllers ensure the advanced crossover functions, time alignment, linearization and L-Drive
protection of the transducers.

How to use this manual

The X15 HiQ owner's manual is intended for all actors involved in the system design, implementation, preventive and
corrective maintenance of the X15 HiQ system. It must be used as follows:
1. Read the technical description for an overview of all system elements, their features, and their compatibilities.
• Electro-acoustical description
• Rigging system description
2. Prepare the system conguration. Consider the mechanical limits and the available acoustical congurations.
• Mechanical safety
• Loudspeaker congurations
3. Before rigging the system, perform mandatory inspections and functional checks.
• Inspection and preventive maintenance
4. To deploy the system, follow the step-by-step rigging instructions and refer to the cabling schemes.
• Rigging procedures
