Designed as the mid-high frequency section of Pioneer's XY-3B, the XY-2E is an 8" two-way passive/bi-amp mid-high loudspeaker that can be used in ground-stacked point-source arrays to facilitate venues with low ceilings.

The 1" and 8" drivers are arranged in a quasi-coaxial molded bi-horn design that time aligns them reducing cancellation around the crossover frequency. This design results in clear, intelligible mids and highs with no smearing. The waveguide's 50 x 35 (horizontal x vertical) dispersion range produces natural sound with high SPL in the targeted area while reducing the sound pressure outside that area.

You can choose to set the XY-2E to passive mode yielding the classic XY series sound or run it in bi-amp mode, which allows you to power the 1" and 8" drivers individually.

Pioneer XY-2E Features:

• Time-aligned moulded bi-horn design
• Passive or bi-amp control option
• X-Phase system with gold X-Phase plug
• Suitable for various configurations
• Impact-resistant finish
