L-ACOUSTICS: X MARKS SPOT

17 April 2015

L-Acoustics’ X Series is a new line of coaxial speakers for the installation and rental markets. L-Acoustics has always had coax loudspeakers but the X Series represents the state of the art for the French innovators, with improvements in the high-excursion neodymium drivers, ellipsoid directivity, laminar vented ports and up to 30 per cent weight reduction.

Used as a stage monitor, the X Series offers low-latency monitor presets and a seven per cent lower profile. In installation applications the X Series comes with a complete range of flexible rigging accessories and a RAL custom colour program. With improved radiation control and low frequency performance, the X Series is a true point-source system, boasting pristine sound for short throw applications.

The X8 is the live monitor of the X series. X8 delivers “pristine sound” with the L-Acoustics signature, a high SPL and extended bandwidth for operation at FOH position or in control rooms. Its wide conical directivity pattern imparts a sense of spatialisation, with no minimum listening distance.

The X12 can cover multiple applications in rental and installation. An ellipsoid directivity of 90° x 60° makes it adaptable to FOH application.

The X15 is the powerhouse of the series, with exceptional power in beamwidth and acoustic isolation. Its narrow, 40° x 60° directivity gives it immunity to feedback, making it perfect for the stage. Low in profile, light in weight, rugged in build, the X15 boasts integrated risers allowing it to go from 35° to 55° for maximum versatility.
