X-Array™ Loudspeaker Systems
2. X-ARRAY™ FLYING TECHNIQUES
The X-Array™ rear-hinge/front-strap flying system
makes constructing vertical arrays easy, predict-
able and repeatable. The enclosures utilize rig-
ging hinges that allow them to pivot at their rear
corners. The relative vertical angles, from one en-
closure to another, are set by the position of the
front rigging straps. Horizontal angles are set at
the top of array columns by retractable coupling
arms on the grids.
2.1 Enclosure and Horn Orientation
The X-Array™ systems lend themselves to easy
array construction. All of the full-size X-Array™
models – the Xf, Xn, and Xb – have identical di-
mensions and rigging. With grilles in place the
full-size systems are indistinguishable from one
another, allowing them to be arrayed in any con-
figuration while maintaining a consistent appear-
ance. The Xf and the Xb are acoustically sym-
metrical side to side and top to bottom and, there-
fore, do not need to be rotated upside down for
any reason when designing arrays. The Xn, how-
ever, is not acoustically symmetrical top to bottom
(the low-frequency section is at one end, while the
mid-bass-/high-frequency section is at the other
end), which may necessitate that some enclo-
sures be turned upside down for optimal array
performance. The Xn is shipped from the factory
with the woofer at the bottom and the mid-bass-/
high-frequency section at the top. If  the enclosure
is turned upside down so that the woofer is up
and the mid-bass-/high-frequency section is
down, the alignment feet on the enclosure must
be swapped around so that the male feet (pro-
truding feet) are on the bottom and the female
feet (concave dishes) are on the top as arrayed.
The grille should also be rotated so that the grille
