XLD281 3-Way Compact Line-Array Element

The very compact 3-way XLD line-array element that covers 120 degrees from a 22 kilogram box.

Cover the room, not the sightlines. The XLD281 is a 3-way very compact line-array element: two DVN2080 8-inch neodymium woofers and two ND2S-8 titanium compression drivers through a 120 by 10 degree waveguide, with Coverage Control Technology holding the horizontal pattern. Run it bi-amp or tri-amp, fly up to 16 elements on the fully captive aluminum rigging in 1 degree steps, and aim it in LAPS. Theaters, houses of worship, corporate AV, performing arts: full-bandwidth line-array coverage that disappears into the room.
