β3 X8i is a compact 2-way full range speaker. X8i is the
main speaker applicable for high reliability, high sound
quality required small venues and assistant speaker for
mid to big venues. X8i can be used alone, also can be used
with the X15Bi subwoofer to form a high quality full range
system.
X8i adopts the latestdesign 4" conepaper HF driver,
matching with the 8" LF driver provides natural and sweet
sound.
The drivers analyze and optimize the magnetic circuit and
short circuit circle by finite element, achieve the super low
distortion and max. intelligibility under the high SPL. Can
achieve the modular quick adjustment by matching with
the XC2.6 pro. digital speaker management processor.
X8i adopts the multi-functional structure design and be
suitable for touring performance and fixed instillation.

SpeakerTesting Method
1. Frequency Response
Use Pink noise to test the speaker in the anechoic chamber,
adjust the level to make the speaker work at its rated impedance
and set the output at 1W, then test the frequency responsepower
1m away from the speaker.
2. Sensitivity
Use full range Pink noise which has been modified using
an EQ speaker in the anechoic chamber,curve to test the
increasing the work at its ratedsignal to make the speaker
impedance and set the thepower output at 1W, then test
sensitivity 1m away from the speaker.
3. MAX.SPL
Use full range Pink noise which has been modified using
an EQ speaker in the anechoic chamber ,curve to test the
increase the work at itssignal to make the speaker
maximum power output level, then test the SPL1m away
from the speaker.
4. Rated Power
Use Pink noise to the IEC#268-5 standard to test the speaker,
increase the signal for a continuous period of100 hours,
the rated power is the power when the speaker will show
no visible or measurable damage.
