Introducing X2

Same control, new dimensions

Introducing X2

The revolution continues

Shared experiences unite us, yet collective listening comes with challenges. Reverberant spaces, echoes, background noise, and large distances can make it hard to follow what's going on.

It’s time to raise the bar when it comes to speech intelligibility and sound quality.

X2 brings our revolutionary HOLOPLOT technology into a smaller form factor - the logical next step in an ongoing commitment to providing unrivaled sound control for more applications than ever before.

HOLOPLOT X2 Matrix Array

It's all about control

Freedom has never sounded so controlled. Place sound precisely where you need it and precisely where you don’t. Create sound fields that optimally cover audience areas of any shape and size, with exceptionally authentic sound localization, lifelike distance, and directional perception of audio sources.

HOLOPLOT Matrix Arrays utilize a powerful combination of 3D Audio-Beamforming and Wave Field Synthesis, for the precise shaping and steering of beams in two dimensions - transforming the way we can use and experience sound. 

X2 Modul 30

Incredibly compact, seriously capable

A new benchmark for intelligibility

X2 provides an unmatched level of sound control. By focusing sound on the audience area and avoiding reflective surfaces, the MD30 achieves significantly better speech intelligibility than conventional loudspeaker technologies that don't provide control in both axes. With X2, even the most challenging acoustic spaces can sound great.

Deceptively powerful

Every MD30 Matrix Array is capable of generating up to 12 separate sound fields simultaneously - each with its own content, equalization, level, shape, and position.

Optimized for speech and multi-content applications

The MD30 comes with two modes that are enabled through software: The first provides maximum output at a frequency range of 140 to 18,000 Hz, making X2 the first choice for speech-based content. The second option extends the lower frequencies down to 80 Hz, enabling a multitude of use cases.

Precision engineered

With your install in mind

30 loudspeaker drivers in a matrix arrangement, each individually signal processed and amplified through powerful DSP and integrated electronics. Eliminating the need for external amplification racks and minimizing the infrastructure needed to accommodate your system. 

Audio Modules are housed in an exterior mounting frame with a sliding hinge mechanism and sophisticated cable management system that ensures easy installation and maintenance, saving you time and cost.

Each MD30 is equipped with redundant PoE++ (power over ethernet) ports - receiving power, audio, and control signal through CAT6A cable. 

Small and lightweight

Effortless modularity

Despite being packed with drivers and electronics, the MD30 remains compact and lightweight, easy to handle and install by a single person. With a depth of less than 13 cm (5.1”), it enables unobtrusive integration and even flush mounting.

Multiple X2 Audio Modules can be arrayed horizontally and vertically to create differently sized arrays in either landscape or portrait orientation for limitless scalability and flexibility.

Make it yours

No project is like another, and achieving great results in a complex world requires flexible solutions. That’s why ours comes with options.

Bespoke

Designed to be heard, not seen

When architectural and interior aesthetics are of the utmost importance, loudspeakers can be an eyesore. With X2, gone are the days of having to choose between style or substance. Available in custom colors and finishes, the MD30 will blend into any surroundings.

For a completely seamless integration, X2 can be discreetly placed behind acoustically transparent screens or wall panels, or disappear completely inside wall cavities, preserving the architectural integrity of any space. Thanks to HOLOPLOT's optimization algorithms, any transmission loss is compensated for, resulting in uncompromised sound quality.

SMART PROBLEM RECOGNITION & RESOLUTION

HOLOPLOT support can access your system remotely, monitor its status via the cloud and take action when needed. This way, issues can be resolved swiftly, minimizing downtime.

DIGITAL AoIP NATIVE & ANALOG-FRIENDLY

Compatible with RAVENNA/AES67 and Dante®. Analog audio inputs and fault relays for integration with existing infrastructure.

Elegant, yet tough

Built for outdoor use

X2 has been designed with the elements in mind. As a fully weatherized product, it withstands high and low temperatures, as well as humidity and water exposure (IP55).

This durability allows X2 to be installed in outdoor venues and other demanding environments without compromising performance. Whether placed in a tropical resort or a humid indoor pool area, the MD30 delivers consistent, high-quality audio, no matter the climate or conditions.
