Product description
The XSLi-SUB and XSLi-GSUB are the installation specific cardioid
subwoofers for the XSLi system. They can be used to supplement
XSLi8 and XSLi12 cabinets, either flown (XSLi-SUB) or ground
stacked (XSLi-GSUB).
When the Z5788 XSLi-SUB Mounting frame is used, XSLi-SUB
cabinets can be flown as pure SUB columns or in mixed arrays in
combination with XSLi TOP cabinets using the additional Z5783
XSL-SUB Mounting adapter.
Both cabinets are actively driven, 2-way bass-reflex designs
housing two long excursion neodymium drivers. One 18" driver
radiates towards the front while one 12" driver radiates towards
the rear of the cabinet.
The front and rear drivers are driven by separate amplifier
channels and operate in independent bass reflex chambers.
Through its cardioid dispersion pattern, this setup avoids unwanted
energy behind the system and greatly reduces the reverberant field
at low frequencies providing highest accuracy in low frequency
reproduction. The frequency response extends from 37 Hz to
110 Hz (35 Hz to 85 Hz - INFRA mode).
The cabinet enclosures are constructed from marine plywood and
have an impact and weather protected 2K finish. The front and
rear of the cabinets are protected by a rigid metal grill backed by
an acoustically transparent and water repellent fabric.
Each side panel incorporates two slots that accepts dedicated
lifting pins (T-handles). During setup, these pins serve as a
temporary lifting aid and can be inserted and locked when
needed.
SL-Series rigging components and arrays
The cabinets are mechanically connected using the rigging strands
on both sides of the cabinet front and a central strand at the rear
of the cabinet.
All necessary rigging components are mounted on the cabinet and
fold and/or slide out when needed.
A detailed description of the SL-Series rigging components is given
in the respective rigging manuals.
