Introduction
Introduction
X12 multi-purpose enclosure
The X12 is a multipurpose coaxial system perfectly suited to all short throw sound reinforcement applications. The
enclosure features a 3" diaphragm compression driver coaxially loaded by a 12" low frequency transducer in a bass-
reex cabinet. The L-Vents laminar vented ports reduce turbulence and port noise at high levels to increase LF efciency.
The X12 operates from 59 Hz to 20 kHz. The coaxial transducer arrangement and its ellipsoid acoustic design produce
a 90° × 60° directivity pattern with a smooth tonal response free of secondary lobes over the entire frequency range.
The internal passive crossover network uses custom lters. The L-Acoustics amplied controllers L-Drive parameters ensure
the linearization and protection of the transducers.
How to use this manual
The X12 system owner's manual is intended for all actors involved in the system design, implementation, preventive and
corrective maintenance of the X12 system system. It must be used as follows:
1.
Read the technical description for an overview of all system elements, their features, and their compatibilities.
•
Electro-acoustical description
