| X-Line Development of the new EV® X-Line™ system was driven by the need for a high-level concert touring enclosure that combines the sonic impact and vocal intelligibility of the renowned X-Array™ system with the uniform, predictable coverage that only a line-array configuration can deliver. The EV engineering team set out to develop the next generation of line-array systems, combining their years of experience in the development of X-Array™ with the absolute latest state-of-the-art technologies. As a matter of course, X-Line™ features the essential acoustical advantage of RMD™. The X-Line™ system was designed to provide wide horizontal dispersion (90 degrees) from a single vertical line array while providing exceptionally coherent wavefront summing in the vertical plane. At the heart of X-Line™ is a proprietary high-frequency wavefront alignment and summation device - the Hydra™ -- that provides planar and time-coherent signal addition. The broad bandwidth vertical planar summing provides uniform sound field distribution throughout the listening area. Stereo imaging is improved by the X-Line's full-bandwidth mid-bass loading. Extended low-frequency polar control produces more uniform power response, further enhancing overall system intelligibility. The overall power response of the X-Line™ is very uniform across a wide frequency spectrum, thus enabling the system's very musical sonic character. |
