Behringer Eurolive ELX215S User manual

BEHRINGER, a world leader in highest-
quality passive and active loudspeakers,
now brings its extreme value proposition
to the vertical line-array marketplace
with its new ELX Series loudspeakers.
Now small to medium sized venues,
such as houses of worship, community
centers, nightclubs, as well as rental
and touring applications can enjoy truly
professional-grade performance for a
fraction of the cost of competing systems.
What’s a Line-Array?
Although line array systems have
been around for more than 50 years,
they have only come into prominence
over the past few years, mainly due to
their use in large-scale concert venues.
Vertical line-arrays are created by stacking
or suspending identical loudspeaker
cabinets so the LF (Low-Frequency) and
HF (High-Frequency) drivers, are placed in
exact vertical alignment with each other.
This enables them to work together to
send sound waves much further than
a single driver could. The conguration
is designed so that you end up with a
column each of LF and HF drivers.
By using specially designed
waveguides or horns, horizontal
sound dispersion can be very wide,
while keeping the vertical alignment
extremely tight. The resulting sound
is smoother, with much more even
dispersion than that of traditional
horn-loaded loudspeaker systems.
Highest Quality Sound
BEHRINGER ELX Series loudspeakers
provide amazingly brilliant sound,
with rich and deep low-end,
smear-free mids and sparkling highs.
Capable of generating extremely high
sound pressure levels, ELX loudspeakers
utilize only the highest-quality
components and are constructed of
void-free birch plywood. The handmade
enclosures are then nished with a
special black or white DuraCoat nish,
recognized by many as the toughest
nish on the market.

Custom-Designed Transducers
Let's face it; the transducers
(woofers and tweeters) are the only part
of a sound system you actually hear,
so we don't cut any corners. While some
of our competitors are content to buy o-
the-shelf transducers and plug them into
their boxes, we custom-design and build
our transducers from scratch. This enables
us to control the quality, and frankly,
make better components, such as the
Kevlar-coned, neodymium LF and HF
compression drivers we deploy in each
and every ELX Series enclosure.
System Scalability
By their very nature, vertical
line-arrays are ideal when it comes to
system scalability. This allows a venue
to custom-tailor a system specically to
meet their needs. Should requirements
change, more enclosures and ampliers
can be added to expand the system.
Specially designed ying hardware allows
for multiple subs and mid/high packs to
be own in each array.
To Fly or Not to Fly
Venues with high ceilings, such as
sports arenas, concert halls and large
churches, etc., often prefer to “y” the
sound system. By suspending the
speaker array high above the audience,
oor space is maximized and nothing
comes between the audience and
the performance. Rigging points are
integrated into all ELX Series enclosures
for use with dedicated ying kits,
which we generously over-engineer
for the utmost in safety. All of our
line-arrays oer variable curvature for
custom-tailoring the sound coverage to
your specic venue. Alternately, the ELX
system can be stacked in front of the
performance area, if you have the
available oor space.
