The X8 is a coaxial system designed for live monitoring and short throw sound reinforcement applications with minimum visual impact. The X8 features a 1.5’’ diaphragm compression driver coaxially loaded by an 8’’ low frequency transducer in a bass-reflex cabinet. The L-Vents laminar vented ports reduce turbulence and port noise at high levels to increase LF efficiency. The X8 operates from 60 Hz to 20 kHz. The coaxial transducer arrangement and its partial horn produce a 100° axisymmetric directivity output with a smooth tonal response free of secondary lobes over the entire frequency range. The internal passive crossover network uses custom filters. The L-Acoustics amplified controllers L-Drive parameters ensure the linearization and protection of the transducers.
