    90 ° × 60 ° rotatable waveguide. These components are matched by an internal passive crossover network for unprecedented sonic quality from a completely passive enclosure.

    The higher you raise the cut-off frequency on a high pass filter for an XY-81, the more headroom and overall sound pressure level output there is available. For most medium-to- high level applications, we would recommend a minimum of a 70 Hz high pass filter with a 24 dB/octave slope to sufficiently protect the loudspeaker. For higher SPL applica- tions, we would recommend raising this cut-off even higher.

The XY-81 contains nine M8 threaded fixing points around the enclosure, to enable suspension using forged shoulder eyebolts (minimum thread length 20 mm (0.8 in.)) or the optional CP-XY8VC1 vertical or CP-XY8HC1 horizontal flying cradles.
