You can use Xperience to produce top-quality sound quickly and
reliably at difference size, depending on the kind of event and
complexity of the equipment setup. Xperience is powered and
controlled by the newest generation of digital technology. The
main task of the digital amplifier and signal processors is to make
sound production more simple and help you achieve your objectives
more quickly: sound production that will make you and your
audience stand back in amazement. Traditional amplifiers are only
50-70% efficient in spite of their relatively large dimensions. The
amplifiers used in the Xperience system, however, convert 95% of
the energy supplied into sound and with only a third of the size of
a normal amplifier. The result is a smaller PA that produces more
sound.

Easier to use and less stressful as a result. The fact that the
electronics in the Sub XS-1 are integral and have been tuned
perfectly means that a variety of fault sources are prevented right
from the offset, from cabling to sound balancing. You only need to
connect the Sub to the Tops and your event can begin without you
having to endure the stress of complications. 

The top-quality integral stereo signal
processors (DSP) guarantee optimised balance
between Top components and bass and ensure
that the Xperience system always produces
balanced, transparent sound at both high and
low volume levels. Xperience significantly
reduces your workload at the mixing desk as a

result. In addition, the amplifier is controlled by the DSP´s in such
a way that each speaker (bass, mid-frequency and high-frequency)
always receives the power that it requires to work reliably and
correctly, thereby achieving maximum operational safety.

. Time-aligned

speaker design. The point where sound is
generated by high-frequency drivers and mid-
frequency speakers is positioned directly on one
axis, both mechanically and chronologically.
This forms a consistent wave face and a very
natural acoustic pattern with outstanding
speech comprehension as a result. Excellent
acoustic characteristics - fine, precise sound
generated by the top-quality driver and subwoofers/mid-high
speakers specially manufactured for the XT-2. Tannoy
announcements and messages are clearly understood and singing
sounds natural and crisp. The sound remains clear and powerful
even at a distance. Because of the extremely even dispersion
characteristics, the XT-2 offers more effective protection against
feedback.
Flexibility - no two events are the same. You decide how you want
to use the XS-2: whether as a system Top component with XS-2 or
as a fullrange Top component without XS-2 for smaller events. It
can be used as a monitor or as a nearfill, or sidefill; the XT-2 is
extremely flexible. The integral crossover filter on the XT-2 means
that it can be operated with 3-way high-frequency protection and a
linear balancing function means that any conventional amplifier or
fullrange power mixer can be used without encountering problems.
With the optional VXT-2 U-bracket, you can also use the XT-2 in a
professional flying application. The main advantage of the U-
bracket is that the XT-2 can be directed at the area to be exposed
to the sound to achieve maximum effect. The speaker disperses its
sound at a specific area of the audience. 
Design and handling - the curved, almost flowing design of the XT-
2 fits perfectly into the overall setup of even the most complex
events. Appearances are also important. The deep-set handle means
the XT-2 can be transported conveniently and the padded trans-
portation covers keep the Xperience system looking brand new even
after years of use.
