can be replaced with the driver attached to

the horn.

MB:  Remove the screws securing the

hatch on the back of the enclosure and lift

the hatch out. Remove the screws secur-

ing the 12-inch driver and lift the driver out

of the enclosure. In the event of failure,

the entire driver must be replaced.

Architects’ and Engineers’

Specifications

The loudspeaker system shall be a three-

way, active, coaxial, MB/HF system with a

frequency response from 125-20,000 Hz with

crossover frequencies at 125 and 1,760 Hz

and a rotatable 60° x 40° constant-directiv-

ity coverage pattern. The loudspeaker sys-

tem shall have a high-frequency compres-

sion driver mounted on a 60° x 40° constant-

directivity horn, and shall have a 16-ohm,

76.2-mm (3-in.) diameter voice coil, a

76.2-mm (3-in.) titanium dome, a 35.6-mm

(1.4-in.) exit, a neodymium magnetic motor

structure, and a 75-watt power rating.

The loudspeaker system also shall have

a 305-mm (12-in.) mid-bass driver

mounted on a mid-bass horn, and shall

have a 16-ohm, 63.5-mm (2.5-in.) diameter

voice coil, a neodymium magnetic motor

structure, and a 300-watt power rating. The

loudspeaker shall have a rigging system

enabling a column of loudspeakers to be

hinged at their back corners with relative

downward angles set by adjustable rigging

straps at the front. The enclosure shall be

constructed of 18-mm thick, 13-ply birch

plywood, and shall be trapezoidal forming

an 18° wedge, and be 596 mm (23.46 in.)

high, 584 mm (23.00 in.) wide at the front,

354 mm (13.93 in.) wide at the back and

759 mm (29.88 in.) deep and shall weigh

60.8 kg (134 lb). The loudspeaker sys-

tem shall be the Electro-Voice Xcn.

Rigging Accessories

Grid:  This ATM Fly-Ware™ “T”-shaped,

all-steel-construction grid was specifically

designed as a single column of X-Array™

systems. Multiple grids can be linked to-

gether with couplers on front and back re-

tractable arms, the position of which sets

the splay angle between adjacent columns.

Part number MEGS-4000-T. ATM

Fly-ware™, 2100 S. Wilmington Ave.,

Carson, CA 90810 USA, 310/834-5914

Xrhg Grid Hinge:  Two Xrhg grid rigging

hinges are used to attach the rear of the

top enclosure in a column to the rear of an

X-Array

 compatible grid. Each hinge con-

sists of two precision-machined steel rig-

ging-track fittings connected by an alloy-

steel chain. Part number 510-2999. Electro-

Voice, 600 Cecil St., Buchanan, MI 49107

USA, 616/695-6831 or 800/234-6831

Xrhp Pickup Hinge:  Two Xrhp pickup

rigging hinges are used to create custom

rigging assemblies to attach to the rear of

the top enclosure in a column when an

ATM grid is not used. Each hinge con-

sists of one precision-machined steel rig-

ging-track fitting with an alloy-steel chain.

Xrhl Linking Hinge:  Two Xrhl linking

rigging hinges are used to link two enclo-

sures together at the rear. Each hinge con-

sists of two precision-machined steel rig-

ging-track fittings connected by a heavy-

duty steel hinge. Part number 510-2998.

Xrsl Long Rigging Steel Straps:  Two Xrsl

long rigging straps are used at the front of

two enclosures to adjust their relative ver-

tical angles. The Xrsl may also be used to

attach the front of the top enclosure to the

ATM grid when upward angles are not re-

quired. Each all-steel strap consists of two

New Haven NH32102-2 double-stud fit-

tings connected by black plastic-coated

wire rope. Sound Manufacturing Inc., 3336

Xrss Short Rigging Steel Straps:    Two

Xrss short rigging straps are used to at-

tach the front of the top enclosure to the

ATM grid. The Xrss may also be used at

the front of two enclosures when a limited

range of vertical angles are required. The

all-steel Xrss utilizes the same construc-

tion as the Xrsl. Sound Manufacturing Inc.,
