X SERIES OVERVIEW 

 

NEXT-proaudio engineered these  series  of  passive  point  source speakers, specifically for 

installations, musicians and DJs who want the state-of-the-art in acoustics and electronics. The family 

currently consists of four full-range cabinets, with driver sizes comprehended between 8” and 15”. 

The passive full-range models are complemented by a high-performance subwoofer of 18”, Xh18. 

 This speaker line employs premium-quality lightweight plywood with a hardening, durable, 

and scratch-resistant coating. The enclosures are fitted with a very accurate and optimised crossover 

for the best frequency and phase response. This series is made up of speakers and subwoofers that 

bind together forming the perfect combination. Several combinations of speakers and subwoofers can 

be done in order to satisfy your needs.  

The X8 speaker counts on a 90ºx60º constant directivity horn while the X12 and X15 speakers 

feature an asymmetric horn that ranges from 50º in the horizontal far-field to 100º in the horizontal 

near-field and 50º vertical, fully rotatable, meaning you can use it either vertical or on its side and still 

maintain the same directivity pattern. Widening the possibilities of this series there is a double 12” 

speaker, X212, that maintains a 60ºH x 40ºV dispersion pattern, better for stacking and larger venue 

applications. It is also possible, in all X series models, to rotate the high frequency section horn in 

order to change the high frequency directivity.  

The Xh18 is a single horn-loaded subwoofer with two versions, Left and Right, that can be 

combined to get a bigger horn located at the centre of the array.
