The X2-212/120 from Electro-Voice is a two-way vertical line array loudspeaker that can be used in a wide variety of applications where wide bandwidth, vertical and horizontal directivity control, and high efficiency are required in a compact cost-effective package.

The high frequency section of the X2-212/120 utilizes two (2) ND6A high-output large format 3-inch titanium compression drivers directly coupled to a pair of PDH

Plane Wave Generators on a 120° waveguide optimized for uniform pattern control and smooth, linear response. The low frequency section utilizes a

DVN3125 12-inch neodymium woofer which was developed using Finite Element Analysis to optimize motor, suspension, and electrical design for very low distortion, high efficiency, and maximum intelligibility at high SPL. The MBH effectively emulates the acoustic behavior of a double line of four (4) 3-inch point sources to deliver superior mid-band coupling while maintaining the efficiency, power, and bandwidth of a

12-inch transducer. The Bi-amp only X2-212/120 requires proprietary Electro-Voice FIR-Drive.

Electro-Voice FIR-Drive is the combination of brick wall crossovers, phase correction, FIR EQ, peak anticipation limiter and Thermal Limiter. These technologies yield superior, nearly inaudible transducer protection with linear summation, smooth off-axis response, and unparalleled acoustical performance over the critical vocal and instrument range regardless of array size.

The X2-212/120 is a premium solution for demanding live sound reinforcement and fixed-install applications.

The vertical trapezoidal enclosure is constructed of weather-resistant birch and coated with EVCoat for enhanced durability. The enclosure features the IRS, a captive twist-lock multi-angle arraying system designed by Electro-Voice to significantly reduce loadin/load-out time of any size array. IRS has been engineered with the flexibility to deploy a system using the two (2) most common methods of array set-up:

• Compression method by using a pull-up kit (Sold separately).

• Fixed angles locked by using secondary rigging pins

(Included).

X2-212/120 with IRS rigging is rated for use for up to

24 elements for normal arrays. LAPS 3 or higher (Line

Array Prediction Software) accurately provides fast array configuration for coverage results, rigging details and allowed rigging configurations. It also provides information for the creation of steered/shaped subwoofer arrays.

The input panel provides dual Neutrik NL8 connectors for fast connectivity between loudspeakers.

X2-212/120 is Bi-amp operation only.

The advanced acoustic and mechanical designs of X2 series loudspeakers, combined with LAPS 3, provide the tools and flexibility to easily design and deploy high performance vertical line array systems.

X2-212/120 is designed to be used as a wide coverage system using all 120° elements, or as the near-field element in a combined line array positioned below 90° elements.
