Architects' and Engineers' Specifications

The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way

biamped system with performance controlled

by a variety of dedicated electronic control

units.  The loudspeaker system shall have a

15-inch, low-frequency, direct-radiating

driver with an 8-ohm, 4-inch voice coil con-

structed of aluminum wire, and shall be ca-

pable of a 600-watt shaped pink-noise sig-

nal with a 6-dB crest factor for 8 hours (as

per ANSI/EIA RS-426-A 1980 standard).

The loudspeaker system shall have a

50.8-mm (2-inch) exit compression driver

mounted on a high-frequency horn.  The

compression driver shall have 76.2-mm

(3.0-inch) diameter, .0015-inch thick titanium

dome and an 16-ohm nominal, 76.2-mm

(3.0-inch) diameter voice coil constructed

of aluminum wire, and which shall be ca-

pable of handling a 75-watt, 1,480-to

20,000-Hz pink-noise signal with a 6-dB

crest factor for 8 hours (as per  EIA RS-

426-A 1980 standard).  The high-frequency

horn shall be of the constant-directivity type

and fully rotatable and shall  produce a

nominal horizontal beamwidth (6-dB-down

angle) of 60° from 2,000 to 20,000 Hz, and

a nominal vertical beamwidth of 40°

 

from

1,600 to 20,000 Hz.  The loudspeaker

system enclosure shall be constructed of

18-mm thick 13-ply birch plywood, trapezoi-

dal in shape, forming a 30° wedge, and shall

have a vinyl-clad steel-grille system.

The Xi-1152/64 system shall be used with

recommended control systems and shall have

a two-way crossover circuit with fourth-or-

der Linkwitz-Riley filters, equalization, time

delay and protection circuitry.  When used

with the electronic control unit, the loud-

speaker system shall have a flat on-axis fre-

quency response from 50 to 16,000 Hz.

The loudspeaker enclosure dimensions

shall be 759 mm (29.88 inches) high, 450 mm

(17.73 inches) wide and 413 mm (16.26 inches)

deep and shall weigh 40.7 kg (89.5 lb).  The

system shall incorporate a two-point rigging

system that will accept New Haven

NH32101-2 double-stud ring fittings and the

New Haven NH8192-2.5 and Ancva 4254C-10

single-stud fittings.

The loudspeaker shall be Electro-Voice

Xi-1152/64.

statement(s) below, or in the individual prod-

uct data sheet or owner’s manual; (c) mal-

function resulting from use or operation of

the product other than as specified in the

product data sheet or owner’s manual; (d)

malfunction resulting from misuse or abuse

of the product; or (e) malfunction occurring

at any time after repairs have been made to

the product by anyone other than Electro-

Voice Service or any of its authorized ser-

vice representatives. Obtaining Warranty

Service: To obtain warranty service, a cus-

tomer must deliver the product, prepaid, to
