The Pioneer XY-3B-W is a high-output, three-way bi-amp loudspeaker from Pioneer Pro Audio, specifically finished in white (indicated by the “-W” suffix) for architectural integration or high-end event aesthetics. Designed for large venues and festivals, it features a unique “Bi-horn” design that aligns the depths of the mid and high drivers to minimize phase cancellation.
Key Audio Features:
- Moulded Bi-horn: Integrates the 8-inch mid-range and 1-inch compression drivers into a single waveguide for a seamless blend of frequencies.
- X-Phase System: Uses a gold X-Phase plug to minimize driver cone cancellation and project sound over long distances.
- Hybrid Low-Mid Section: Dual 12-inch neodymium drivers are housed in a hybrid chamber to deliver “chest-pumping” low-mid frequencies.
- Dispersion: Provides a controlled 50° horizontal by 35° vertical dispersion, directing high SPL precisely to the target audience.
Build and Rigging:
- Enclosure: Constructed from 15 mm birch plywood.
- Weather Resistance: LF drivers feature a water-resistant coating on both sides, making the unit suitable for outdoor event use.
- Rigging Options: Supports various flying hardware and ground stacking configurations.
- Touring Features: Designed for efficient truck packing, the cabinets can be stacked two-high and four-wide using the optional XY-3 wheel board.
