Xi-1122/85F: Ultracompact
two-way, 12-inch 80° x 55°
short-throw full-range system
In an ultracompact package, the
Xi-1122/85F features a DL12-
type woofer with RMD
™
and the
same large-format DH6 compres-
sion driver used in the most
advanced Xi-Series
™
systems.
The Xi-1122/85F brings the
spectacular quality of X-Array
™
to
applications where space is at a
premium and/or light weight is
required, with full-range
performance to 60 Hz. The
Xi-1122/85F can be combined
with the Xi-2181 low-frequency
system or Xi-1191 subwoofer for
full-bandwidth performance as
wide as 27-20,000 Hz.
Integral carrying handles and
stand-mount adapter, in addition
to the L-track top and bottom
rigging, facilitate a wide range of
portable and fixed applications.
intelligibility and musical clarity
in reverberant spaces and
reduces the possibility of feed-
back beneath the systems.
The Xi-2123/106F may also be
conventionally crossed over,
without LF/MB overlap, with
decreased vertical directivity
control.
The dual DL12-type woofers,
modified for increased excursion
and overall output, extend bass
response of the Xi-2123/64 to
60 Hz. The rotatable, 14-inch
square mid-bass horn loads a
DL-type 10-inch cone transducer.
A DH6 large-format compression
driver drives the rotatable HF
horn.
than is possible in the analog
domain.
In addition, Merlin
®
sets the
limiting threshold in inverse
relation to excursion-versus-
frequency capabilities of the
loudspeaker components. For
example, at the low end of the
compression driver operating
range, where diaphragm excur-
sions are inherently larger,
Merlin
®
limits sooner than at
higher frequencies. The end
result is near-absolute protection
against over-excursion with the
very minimum audible side
effects. Only Merlin
®
provides
excursion-smart protection.
Compact, two-way full-range
systems for stand-alone use
in small- to medium-sized
installations and to comple-
ment the performance of
the large Xi-Series
™
systems.
Optional Merlin

ISP-100
processing provides un-
usually effective protection
against component failure,
for maximum output from
two-way direct-radiating
systems.

ISP-100: Excursion-
smart, look-ahead limiting
For the biamp-only Xi-Series
™
two-way systems (Xi-1122 and
Xi-1152), the optional Merlin
®
ISP-100 provides the ultimate in
sonically unobtrusive yet ultra-
effective protection against
driver destruction. Merlin
®
extracts maximum output from
these ultracompact, direct-
radiating Xi-Series
™
systems.
(Merlin
®
will also provide excur-
sion-smart protection of the
three-way Xi-1123/106F and
Xi-2123/106F when operated in
their biamp mode.)
Broadband limiting optimized in
the digital domain provides the
first protective defense. The
patented time characteristic of
the ISP-100 allows signal over-
drive to be detected before output
occurs, allowing limiting to
occur within the first cycle of
output even at 20,000 Hz, with
virtually no amplitude over-
shoot. This action provides
much more reliable protection

60° x 40° and 90° x 40°
mid- and short-throw
full-range systems
Only slightly larger and heavier
than the ultracompact Xi-1122,
the Xi-1152 utilizes an EVX-155
four-inch-coil woofer for prodi-
gious output to 50 Hz. HF horns
rotate for coverage independent
of enclosure orientation.
Integral carrying handles and
stand-mount adapter, in addition
to the L-track top and bottom
rigging, facilitate a wide range of
portable and fixed applications.
Xi-1123/106F: Three-way,
12-inch 100° x 60° full-
range system, dipole
configurable
When extended-frequency verti-
cal directivity control is desired
but vertical clearance is limited,
the Xi-1123/106F should be
considered. At 32 inches rather
than 40 inches high, the
Xi-1123/106F has one DL-type
12-inch woofer adjacent to the
MB horn. With the Merlin
®
ISP-100 providing MB/LF over-
lap in the 250– to 550-Hz range,
vertical directivity is controlled to
250 Hz.
The Xi-1123/106F may also be
conventionally crossed over,
without LF/MB overlap, with
decreased vertical directivity
control.
“F” suffix indicates flying configuration.
