L-Acoustics 5XT & SB15m

The 5XT is based on a two-way passive design with a nominal impedance of 16 ohms. The system contains a one-inch diaphragm compression driver coaxially loaded by a five-inch low-mid frequency transducer mounted in a bass-reflex tuned enclosure.

The 5XT cabinet is made of Baltic birch plywood. A 3/8-inch microphone stand insert and two M8 inserts for the ETR5 flying bracket are integrated into the cabinet. The 5XT enclosure operates over a frequency range of 90 Hz to 20 kHz. The coaxial transducer arrangement produces a 100-degree axi-symmetric directivity output.

Power and processing for the 5XT is delivered by the LA4 or LA8 amplified controller.

Suited for use with L-Acoustics’ KIVA and XT series enclosures – including the 5XT – the new SB15m extends the operating frequency range of these systems down to 40 Hz.

The SB15m features a single 15-inch driver in a bass reflex tuned enclosure. The SB15m cabinet is likewise made of Baltic birch plywood. A pole-mount socket is integrated into the top of the SB15m cabinet allowing one XT enclosure or two KIVA to be mounted directly above. SB15m subwoofers can be flown or ground-stacked as a standalone vertical array or within an SB15m/KIVA array.

Like the 5XT, the SB15m is powered and processed by the LA4 or LA8 amplified controller.
