Flare Audio packs a compact punch with X Series launches

X2A Compact Vertical Point Source system, X0 delay speaker and Array Calculation software join the line-up

The X2A Compact Vertical Point Source system is the latest addition to Flare Audio's line-up, offering the acclaimed X5A sound quality and power in a smaller loudspeaker design.

The X2A System comprises the X2A Compact Vertical Point Source Array and is designed to work alongside the Q12 and Q18 directional sub bass - representing a new standard in vocal clarity and coverage for smaller venues.

Designed for vertical arrays of up to 20 units, or as a standalone system, the X2A features the same Flare Audio signature aluminium and birch ply cabinet construction as its bigger brother. The X2A combines impressive clarity and aesthetics with a truly powerful punch, weighing in at just 19kg and measuring only 250mm x 435mm x 170mm.

Complementing the new X2A is the new mini X0A auditorium delay and infill speaker solution, providing excellent vocal clarity, a compact footprint and flexible bracketry for maximum sound design flexibility. The X0A can also be arrayed in a vertical point source system, or used standalone as a delay or as an ideal mini installation speaker.

The technology behind the X2A and X0A reflects Flare Audio's unique approach – combining Flare Audio's innovative Vortex™ and Space™ Technologies, and coupling over 200 Vortex™ ports with the compression of Space™ technology. The partnership of these technologies means that no colouration is added to the sound, allowing the original material to show through and creating a true engineer's tool.

Flare Audio has also just unveiled the Flare Array Configuration software, providing X5A and X2A array prediction data for EASE Focus 2 - giving engineers access to an industry-standard, comprehensive toolkit.

Director of Flare Audio, Kristin Hanson commented: 'The X2 brings the same realism and clarity of the X5A large venue system and the S1 studio system to small live performance, and marks the availability of Flare X Series for any application and size of venue.

Because both the X2 and X0 are vertical point source arrays, they offer a completely modular solution for both touring and installation applications whether that be a distributed installation or a line array for a touring production. This modularity along with the compact size of the X Series offers an ideal building-block system and cost savings for all productions.'
