The XTO 14P is the largest element in the XTO System and the box the range was built to end at. Two 14″ drivers sit rear-loaded in angled end chambers, giving pattern control at the bottom of the band rather than only above it, so the rear of the stage stays clean without a second array pointed backwards. Above them, two 10″ cones at 45° flank a third horn-loaded 10″, and three 4″-coil compression drivers run in parallel into the horn. 153 dB peak from one cabinet. Nothing is paralleled. Every 14P takes its own D34X, four sections driven independently, which is what makes shading a long hang a matter of preset rather than cabling. It carries the same titanium three-point rigging, the same Fast-Set splay, the same Socapex loom and the same preset library as the rest of the system, so a 14P main hang and a 12P outfill are one design decision, not two. This is a stadium box. Below 18,000 capacity the 12P is usually the right answer.

Part of the XTO System

The largest element. Stadium main hangs, cardioid at the bottom of the band, one D34X per box.

XTO stands for Xtended Touring Output. The large-format touring platform: the elements built for the longest throws and the highest output in the range, rigged and amplified as one system.

Measurement conditions

  1. Maximum SPL is the peak level at 1 m, driven with pink noise at crest factor 4 to the clipping point of the recommended amplifier, with the SSOUNDS system preset applied. Full-range enclosures are specified under free-field conditions; figures marked half-space are specified over a reflecting plane, the condition subwoofers are deployed in, which adds approximately 6 dB.
  2. Frequency response is specified on axis at 1 m in a free field. The tolerance the figure is referenced to is stated alongside it; where no tolerance is given, the figure is the −6 dB bandwidth.
  3. Coverage angles are nominal −6 dB values averaged across the pass band. Per-octave directivity data is available from SSOUNDS system design support for prediction and modelling.
  4. Recommended amplifier power is the amplifier output SSOUNDS specifies for this enclosure, driven with the SSOUNDS system preset. It guides amplifier selection and is not an AES power-handling rating for the transducers.
  5. Net weight excludes packaging, flight case, accessories and optional rigging hardware.
  6. Dimensions are stated in millimetres and exclude protruding rigging hardware, handles and connector panels unless noted.
  7. All figures are typical values for production units specified under the conditions above. Individual units may vary within published tolerances.

System operation

Recommended: one SSOUNDS D34X per XTO 14P. The amplifier's four channels drive the four sections of a single cabinet and nothing is paralleled, so every element in a hang can be gain- and HF-shaded on its own. That is the difference between the 14P and the rest of the range. On XTO 12P two cabinets share a D24X, which is ample resolution for most hangs. On a stadium-length 14P hang the extra resolution is the point: the top of the array and the bottom of the array are doing different jobs. Load the XTO 14P preset and run the 8-pole Socapex loom carrying the four sections. The 14P locks to XTO 12P, 10P and 8P through the standard transition hardware, so a 14P main section can carry a 12P outfill or a 10P downfill in the same hang.
