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 exible solution for both xed installations and touring where wide coverage is
required from as few line array elements as possible.
Designed to be own 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 conguration 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 amplication
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 efciency
and total protection.
