the X-Array
™
loudspeaker systems. Digi-
tal parameter settings for both controllers
are available upon request.
Electrical Connection and System
Wiring
Two paralleled Neutrik 8-pin Speakon
®
con-
nectors are used for electrical connection to
the Xds loudspeakers with the following pin
assignments:
SUB1: Pins 1 Paralleled
SUB2: Pins 2 Paralleled
The Xds wiring diagram is shown in Figure
7. Since the connectors are paralleled, it does
not matter which connector is used as the
input or output when paralleling Xds sys-
tems. Although Pins 3 and 4 are not used by
the Xds systems, they are paralleled on the
input panel. This allows an X-Array
™
MB/
HF box (like the Xf or Xcn– which use Pins
3 and 4, but not Pins 1 and 2) to be paral-
leled with an Xds, allowing all eight con-
ductors to be used with a single cable run to
the amplifiers. Note that, when two Xds sys-
tems are jumped from one to another via the
input/output connections, the amplifier home
run cable will have two woofers on Pins 2
(for a 4-ohm load) and two woofers on Pins
1 (for a 4-ohm load).
Field Replacement
Normal service for the Xds requires only a
#2 Phillips screwdriver and a 3/16-inch hex-
key wrench. The drivers may be accessed as
follows:
SUB: First remove the grille, then remove
the screws securing the hatch on the front of
the enclosure. Remove the screws securing
the 18-inch woofer and lift the woofer out
of the enclosure. In the event of failure, the
entire woofer must be replaced or reconed.
The following service parts are available

driver, manifolded, vented-box low-fre-
quency system with a frequency response
from 32-200 Hz. The loudspeaker system
also shall have two 457-mm (18-in.) low-
frequency woofers and each shall have an
8-ohm, 101-mm (4-in.) diameter voice coil
and a 600-watt power rating. The loud-
speaker shall have a rigging system enabling
a column of loudspeakers to be hinged at
their back corners, with relative downward
angles set by adjustable rigging straps at the
front. The enclosure shall be constructed of
18-mm thick, 13-ply birch plywood, and shall
be trapezoidal, forming an 36° wedge and be
914 mm (36.00 in.) high, 1166 mm (45.92 in.)
wide at the front, 736 mm (28.98 in.) wide at
the back and 759 mm (29.88 in.) deep, and

The loudspeaker system shall be the
Electro-Voice Xds.
Rigging Accessories:
Grid: This ATM Fly-Ware™ “T”–shaped,
all-steel-construction grid was specifically
designed as a single column of X-Array™
systems. Multiple grids can be linked to-
gether with couplers on front and back re-
tractable arms, the position of which sets the
splay angle between adjacent columns. Part
number MEGS-4000-T. ATM Fly-ware™,
2100 S. Wilmington Ave., Carson, CA 90810
USA, 310/834-5914
Xrhg Grid Hinge: Two Xrhg grid rigging
hinges are used to attach the rear of the top
enclosure in a column to the rear of an X-
Array
™
compatible grid. Each hinge consists
of two precision-machined steel rigging-
track fittings connected by an alloy-steel
chain. Part number 510-2999. Electro-Voice,
600 Cecil St., Buchanan, MI 49107 USA,
616/695-6831 or 800/234-6831
Xrhp Pickup Hinge: Two Xrhp pickup rig-
ging hinges are used to create custom rig-
ging assemblies to attach to the rear of the
top enclosure in a column when an ATM grid
is not used. Each hinge consists of one pre-
cision-machined steel rigging-track fitting
with an alloy-steel chain. Part number 510-
3000. Electro-Voice, 600 Cecil St., Bucha-
nan, MI 49107 USA, 616/695-6831 or 800/
234-6831
Xrhl Linking Hinge: Two Xrhl linking rig-
ging hinges are used to link two enclosures
together at the rear. Each hinge consists of
two precision-machined steel rigging-track
fittings connected by a heavy-duty steel
hinge. Part number 510-2998. Electro-Voice,
600 Cecil St., Buchanan, MI 49107 USA,
616/695-6831 or 800/234-6831
Xrsl Long Rigging Steel Straps: Two Xrsl
long rigging straps are used at the front of
two enclosures to adjust their relative verti-
cal angles. The Xrsl may also be used to at-
tach the front of the top enclosure to the ATM
grid when upward angles are not required.
Each all-steel strap consists of two New
Haven NH32102-2 double-stud fittings con-
nected by black plastic-coated wire rope.

Xrss Short Rigging Steel Straps: Two
Xrss short rigging straps are used to at-
tach the front of the top enclosure to the
ATM grid. The Xrss may also be used at
the front of two enclosures when a limited
range of vertical angles are required. The
all-steel Xrss utilizes the same construc-
tion as the Xrsl. Sound Manufacturing Inc.,
