XLA-308 is a 3-way full-range line array element from our flagship XLA System — engineered for precision, power, and acoustic excellence in the most demanding touring and installation environments.

At its core lies a time-coherent B&C coaxial mid-high compression driver, integrated with our new EVO-FLOW waveguide for exceptional clarity and phase coherence. Dual 8″ neodymium woofers, each housed in independent vented chambers, deliver defined low-frequency punch while maintaining a compact footprint and reduced system weight.

The result is a finely tuned system capable of delivering LF: 700 W / MHF: 150 W continuous power (up to LF: 2800 W / MHF: 600 W peak). Built with premium components including copper shorting caps, neodymium magnets, and precision phase plugs, XLA-308 ensures sonic consistency and remarkable detail across the entire frequency range.

Over-engineered for performance, XLA-308 represents the new standard of our line array technology.
