XLE181 2-Way Very Compact Line-Array Element

The most compact XLE element: 120 degree pattern control from a 17 kilogram box.

Put a line array where a line array should not fit. The XLE181 is the most compact element of the XLE family: one DVN2080 8-inch neodymium woofer and two ND2S-8 titanium compression drivers through a 120 by 10 degree waveguide, at 17.2 kilograms. Run it bi-amp or full-range on the internal passive network, fly up to 16 elements on the fully captive aluminum rigging in 1 degree steps, and aim it in LAPS. Live reinforcement, performing arts venues, houses of worship, under-balcony fills: full-bandwidth line-array coverage in the tightest spots.
