Electro-Voice MTL-1X - User Manual

Technical Specifications:
The Electro-Voice
®
MTL-1X is a 1,200-watt subwoofer
loudspeaker system which combines the attributes of
both horn-loaded and vented box designs. The MTL-1X
design utilizes the unique double SubScoop™ cabinet
construction with two EVX-180B woofers, as used in X-
Array
TM
concert systems. The design behaves like a
horn over much of its range, but without the time delay
and weight problems usually associated with
conventional designs. Vented-box principles take over
for the lowest octave and assist in producing
exceptionally high levels of clean, punchy bass from a
modest-sized box. The reverse woofer orientation has
been used to optimize the rear chamber volume and
decrease the horn flare rate for extended low end
performance. When used with the MTH-1 mid/high
module, the MTL-1X provides high-output sound
reinforcement for clubs, large halls, or outdoor events
in a compact package which can be moved easily by a
two-person crew. Although the MTL-1X was designed
for use with the MTH-1 system, it may be used to
augment the bass performance of any Electro-Voice
stage system.
