Electro-Voice X-Array Install Xi-2123/106 Manual

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 In-
stall™ 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 sys-
tems, the X-Array Install™ series incorpo-
rates a potent combination of very high
output, medium- to long-throw "cells," and
Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™). The Xi-
2123/106 is the first in a series of compact,
low- to medium-throw enclosures with op-
timized directivity for a wide range of ap-
plications.
Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™)
RMD™ (Ring-Mode Decoupling) is the
same advanced technology built into the
X-Array™ touring series. RMD™ pro-
duces substantially improved tonal char-
acter and fidelity whether operated at low
or extremely high sound pressure levels.
RMD™ attacks time domain "ringing
modes" at their sources. Mechanical solu-
tions resolve mechanical issues, and
acoustical solutions address acoustical
modes found in all sound reinforcement
systems. The combination of each RMD™
technique provides improved tonal char-
acter and fidelity at increasing drive lev-
els. The result is clear, even sound quality
with vastly improved intelligibility.
Xi-2123/106 and Three-Element Line Array
These triamp-ready, three-way systems in
a unique three-element-line-array configu-
ration are designed for use in reverberant
spaces. Dual spaced woofers flank and work
with the central mid-bass horn to form the
line array, extending vertical directivity con-
trol to below 160 Hz. Such wide-bandwidth
control and the low-Q (100° x 60°) pattern
provides superior direct-to-reflected SPL
ratios and improved system intelligibility,
and suppress feedback below arrays.
When optimum directivity control is re-
quired, the Xi-2123/106 with dual 12-inch
woofers should be used. The 10-inch mid-
bass driver features RMD™ and is coupled
to a rotatable 100° x 60° vertical horn.
The high-frequency system uses a DH6
large-format compression driver with a ro-
tatable 100° x 60° horn. It is mounted within
Xi-2123/106

Sound-Reinforcement System
• Full Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™)
• Three-Element-Line-Array configured
vertical control below 160 Hz
• Ultra-compact/high-level, three-way
design
• 2 12-inch low-frequency drivers with
improved internal damping
• New design, 10-inch mid-bass driver
(100° x 60°)
• New 100° x 60° HF section includes DH6
compression driver for very high output,
extremely rigid piston range performance
• Fully rotatable MB and HF section for
vertical or horizontal suspension
the upper woofer manifold to provide a
compact vertical size. For extended-bass/
subbass, the Xi-2123/106 may be used with
the Xi-1191 or Xi-2181 subwoofers.
Applications
The Xi-2123/106 is ideally suited for high-
level, high-fidelity applications. The sys-
tem is particularly suited where extended
vertical polar control is necessary. The
extended capabilities of the system, par-
ticularly the low-frequency capability, al-
low the system to be used in many appli-
cations without a subwoofer. For applica-
tions requiring very high low-frequency
sound pressure levels as well as very accu-
rate vocal reproduction, the Xi-2123/106 may
be coupled with the Electro-Voice Xi-
1191 or Xi-2181. The combined system
should be run with a conventional
subwoofer crosssover implementation
(sub crossover to Xi-2123/106 at 80 Hz).
