INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the recommended installation procedure for the constant curvature line source 
CXA-12 in combination with the subwoofer CXA-18S.

The CXA is intended as a flexible solution for both fixed installations and touring where wide coverage is 
required from as few line array elements as possible.

Designed to be flown either horizontally or vertically, this line source system can be used as a single element 
or a combination of a maximum of 4 cabinets in array configuration delivering a 72º coverage in the vertical 
plane. Our custom HF Multidriver Waveguide system delivers 100H x 18V precise coverage for a multitude 
of installations. Thanks to its careful construction it can also be installed for symmetrical HF dispersion.

The CXA Array models are self-powered (Class D) with  switching power supply and 1400W of amplification 
each. They are also controlled by the latest generation of Digital Signal Processing with a DSP integrated in 
to each cabinet, optimizing all the system components and electronics, providing maximum system efficiency 
and total protection.
