2-Way Install Monitor Quick Start Guide
XS-12i is a versatile, high-performance full range 2-way passive
wedged monitor conceived for professional environments where
portable sound reinforcement is required, delivering a superior audio
reproduction in a convinient format.
XS-12i HF assembly couples a 3˝ compression driver into common
XS Series birch plywood axisymmetric horn with DUTCH ACOUSTICS’s
proprietary design and a premium European, dedicated-design passive
crossover lter provides a smooth, natural transition intro the MLF 12˝
woofer and summing up into a full-range superior audio playback along
the whole usable frequency range.
Like all DUTCH ACOUSTICS models, XS-12i is built with 15 and 18 mm
birch plywood, Aquaforce waterproof paint coating and a high quality
steel grille, creating a rugged, durable and stylish loudspeaker.
The 60° wedged cabinet allows not only to be used as FOH main
system in small venues, bars and AV applications and as a stage
monitor but to seamlessly t into any wall mount xed installation.
XS-12i integrates a bottom Pole Mount 35 mm socket to be congured
on LF Series subwoofers for install applications in venues and clubs.
INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES
XS-12i is tted with threaded M8 inserts for hung permanent
installations and (optional) dedicated U-Brackets and Wall-Mount
accessories are available for seamless integration in any space.
