[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 140724, member: 30"] Re: Infocomm??? The XX96 started out as a need for a high output full range cabinet that could be mounted on a flag pole for the upper decks at a 100K+ stadium. The smaller mids would not fit-because overall they take up more room. The 6.5" mids in the XD cabinets are the same ones we use in the Jericho full range products-they work very well-ESPECIALLY when loaded on a large horn. We will still continue to use the 4 and 5" mids-they work well-but they were not the right choice in this particular case. I had the idea to simple "expand" the offerings of the 96 and make a "product line" out of it. So the other products were born. We will probably expand the lineup as well with some higher output full range cabinets and different sub options. But all in due time. Actually the XD62 could get by with just 4 mids. But the spacing of the holes in the horn (with the paraline lens) presented a little issue, which was resolved by dividing the horn in half and just adding 2 more mids. This has a couple of advantages-the mids are even stronger (but they don't need to be) and the lower impedance of 6 vs 4 makes it easier to develop a passive crossover for those that need to drive the cabinets with a single amp channel. The XD62 has room for the smaller mids, but we decided to stick with the same components (lows-mids-highs) used in the 96, to make it easier for a user to have a few extra parts on hand and be able to use them in all of the cabinets-without having to stock different parts for different model numbers. But failures would be very rare-except in cases of extreme stupidity. The mids (all of them 4-5 and 6.5") have almost zero failure rate. I think it is well less than 1 cabinet per year that has a mid problem. I am only aware of 1 mid "failure" in all of the cabinets Danley has made. And with the Sentinel protection on the HF, those few issues should pretty much go away. [/QUOTE]
