A.4 Xw12 AND Xw15 Specific Service Instructions
HF Repair: The compression driver must be serviced through the woofer baffle-board cutout because
the high-frequency compression driver is larger than the high-frequency horn. First remove the grille,
then remove both the screws and washers securing the front flange of the high-frequency horn and the
screws securing the woofer. Remove the woofer from the enclosure. Reaching through the woofer hole,
remove the two accessible screws that secure the compression driver to the horn. Rotate the horn and
driver, then remove the two remaining screws that secure the driver to the horn and lift the driver out of
the enclosure. Replace the high-frequency diaphragm assembly and install the high-frequency horn and
driver, and the woofer.
LF Repair: First remove the grille, then remove the screws securing the woofer and lift the woofer out of
the enclosure. In the event of failure, the entire woofer must be replaced or reconed by an authorized
service center. See grille replacement below.
Neutrik
®
Input Connector Replacement: Remove the screws securing the input panel to the enclosure
and lift the input panel as far out of the enclosure as the wires will allow. Using needle-nose pliers, care-
fully remove the slide-on crimp connectors from the four Neutrik
®
terminals. Remove the two screws se-
curing the connector to the input panel and remove the connector. Replace the connector and reinstall
the slide-on crimp connectors onto the four Neutrik
®
terminals.

Grid: This ATM Fly-Ware "T" shaped, all-steel-construction grid was specifically designed a single col-
umn of X-Array systems. Multiple grids can be linked together with couplers on front and back re-
tractable arms, the position of which sets the splay angle between adjacent columns. Part number
