L-Acoustics announces the launch of X4i, "a powerful yet unobtrusive and highly weatherized coaxial loudspeaker for installation applications." X4i, the smallest loudspeaker the company has ever manufactured, measures only 3.9 inches deep and offers the L-Acoustics sonic signature.
X4i, introduced at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) trade show in February, is designed to fill applications in performing arts centers or houses of worship, matching the sonic signature of main L-Acoustics systems such as ARCS and Kiva. X4i can be hidden in walls, stair risers, stage lips, pit rails, under balconies or any other tight spot.
The enclosure can additionally provide vocal reinforcement in settings such as conference rooms, museums and exhibits, and hospitality venues.
Combined with Syva Sub, X4i is applicable for indoor or outdoor background music in restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail locations. The X4i boasts an IP55 rating and becomes watertight with a rear sealing plate, allowing integration in challenging climatic or outdoor environments.
Jeff Rocha, Director of Product Management at L-Acoustics, concludes, “In developing X4i, our aim was to provide unsurpassed utility without compromising on sound quality while catering to known architectural constraints. X4i is quite literally the perfect fit for the integration needs of today’s installation markets.”
X4i ships beginning in March.
