XLC

Why it mattered

1. 01

   It brought coupled vertical-array deployment to smaller applications than the large X-Line, while retaining a separate identity from X-ArrayElectro-VoiceX-Array1997Electro-Voice's X-Array debuted on the Rolling Stones' 1997–98 Bridges to Babylon tour. It was a family of conventional horn-loaded concert cabinets assembled into large horizontal arrays and vertically arranged clusters, not a modern coupled vertical line array. EV's catalogue distinguishes it from the later X-Line: the new system sought to retain X-Array's output and vocal intelligibility while changing how coverage was distributed.Open profile →.

   XLC model suffixes matter: specifications for Xlc127DVX or Xlc907DVX should not be assigned to every historical XLC version.

Engineering record

Later DVX variants

The catalogue lists Xlc127DVX with nominal 120° horizontal coverage and Xlc907DVX with 90°, both three-way designs with tri-amp or optional bi-amp operation.[1]

Deployment

LAPS aiming software and Quik-Rig or fixed-installation rigging are documented for these variants; the catalogue presents XLC as usable alongside the larger X-Line system.[1]
