Part of the announcements made by Bosch Security Systems at ISE 2017, the new X12-125F Flying Subwoofer matches the Electro-Voice's X-Line offering for large concert sound systems. Focusing on high-level sonic impact and vocal intelligibility with uniform, predictable coverage that only a line array can deliver, EV's X-Line system provides wide horizontal dispersion from a single vertical line array with exceptionally coherent wave-front summation in the vertical plane. Extended low-frequency polar control produces more uniform power response, further enhancing overall intelligibility.
All models in brand's X-Line Advance share the same rectangular cabinet footprint and are connected by proprietary rigging that facilitates rapid venue load-in and load-out, including already the high-output line-array dual 18-inch X12-128 ground-stacking subwoofer. Now, Electro-Voice added the X12-125F flying subwoofer – a dual 15-inch system equipped with high-output EV-engineered transducers delivering 9600 W output.
The X12-125F subwoofer features the family’s innovative Integrated Rigging System for quick, secure and seamless deployment in arrays, and is sonically matched to the other members of the family: X1 and X2 (high-performance) full-range models, and the X12-128 dual 18-inch subwoofer. The X12-125F can also be used in ground-stacked configurations, making it a versatile choice for rental companies and mobile applications, as well as fixed installations including live performance venues and houses of worship. Its very compact, lightweight 18-ply Baltic birch enclosure is finished in EVcoat for superior durability.
The X-Line Advance line-array loudspeaker system from Electro-Voice delivers a unique combination of SPL, bandwidth, coverage and scalability to precisely address the widest range of professional live sound applications. Designed in close collaboration with audio professionals from across the touring and installed sound industries, its innovative, highly efficient two-way vertical line-array loudspeaker elements (X1 and X2 models) provide 90- or 120-degree horizontal coverage with a level of performance normally associated with much larger and heavier three-way systems (therefore reducing power requirements to achieve similar results), while its compact, lightweight form and Integrated Rigging System save time, money and manpower in transit and setup, coupled with the most powerful subwoofers EV has ever made.
The new X12-125F subwoofer complements existing X-Line Advance models in a wide range of possible system configurations, including flown three-way system with X1 or X2 mains and X12-125F as subwoofer, flown four-way system with X1 or X2 mains, with X12-125F flown next to mains in LF mode and X12-128 as ground-stacked subwoofer, a flown three-way configuration with X12-125F above mains as subwoofer in single flown array, and flown four-way systems with X12-125F above mains in LF mode in single flown array with X12-128 ground stacked as subwoofer. The new subwoofer also allows ground-stacked three-way configurations with X12-125F as the base of the ground stack in subwoofer mode, with X1 or X2 above as mains, or a ground-stacked four-way configuration with X12-125F as the base of the ground stack in LF mode, with X1 or X2 above as mains and X12-128 as center mono subwoofer array.
The new X12-125F subwoofer is scheduled to be available in the Americas in April, 2017; in Europe, Middle East and Africa in May, 2017; and in Asia in June, 2017.
