8-inch Two-way Full-range Loudspeaker

The Electro-Voice XI 1082 brings premium, tour-quality sound to installation. The Xi series offers a potent combination of high output and ultra-linear performance in two-way systems. Xi series loudspeakers incorporate the acoustic advantages of Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD) and feature HP horns to secure excellent directivity control and even coverage.

To achieve sound performance without compromise, the Xi series is designed for active operation, with the exception of the XI 1082, which contains a passive crossover network. Xi loudspeaker cabinets are made of 18-mm, 13-ply birch plywood finished in black, textured paint, and are protected by a full-face, steel front grille that is backed with foam. All systems except the XI-1082 have integrated handles and two L-tracks on the top and bottom. A detailed flying manual is available.
