X8 stage monitor

Deployed as a stage monitor, an X8 system operates over the nominal bandwidth of the X8 enclosure.
The [X8_MO] preset delivers a reference frequency response in stage monitoring applications.
The X8 enclosure is driven by the LA4X / LA8 / LA12X.

Standalone X8

35°

Enclosure X8

Preset [X8_MO]

Frequency range (-10 dB) 55 Hz - 20 kHz

Low-latency preset

A low-latency preset is available for the X8 enclosure used as a monitor ([X8_MO]). It reduces latency from 3.84 ms

down to 1.18 ms (LA8) and 0.84 ms (LA4X / LA12X). If the monitor is combined with a subwoofer, a custom preset must

be used.

Paired X8 monitors with LFC

The Low Frequency Contour (LFC) tool implemented in LA Network Manager can compensate for coupling effects

between closely operating monitors. LFC allows to adjust the frequency response curve to obtain the desired low

frequency contour.
For paired X8 monitors, enter the following parameters to obtain the reference response curve of a single enclosure:

-3.0

180

For more information about LFC, refer to the

LA Network Manager Help

(section: Group Control Panel) and to the
