way systems – for down fill, far throw, delay
rings, under balcony and low-frequency
enhancement.
Many of the two-way systems also provide
superb performance on their own when room
acoustics and geometry are appropriate.
When performance demands are high,
Xi-Series
™
, in combination with Merlin
®
signal
processing, will find ideal application in
performing arts centers, theaters, auditoriums,
houses of worship and regional touring.
Carrying handles on each
side of all Xi-Series

enclosures
Specially designed
multigrip handles
are extremely
comfortable and can be
gripped from any angle,
making lifting much easier.
The large sys-
tems feature
four handles
per side, and
the compact
two-way
systems have
two handles
per side. (The
ultracompact Xi-1082 under-
balcony system has no
han
dles.)

The “tripole” configuration of the
Xi-2153/64 and Xi-2123/106 allows
output from the mid-bass horn to join
that of the spaced, dual low-frequency
sources and provide exceptional vocal
clarity in rever-berant spaces and
resistance to feedback beneath the
loudspeaker. This is accomplished
by extending a precisely controlled
radiation pattern to unusually low
frequencies.
