X2

Compact directional speaker

The X2 focuses the sound within a restricted listening area, with power output calibrated for installations situated within immediate reach of both the audience and staff.

  • Targeted sound dispersion within 15°: the sound remains concentrated in front of the speaker, creating a listening area without filling the surrounding space with sound.
  • Clear vocal reproduction: the frequency response of 500 Hz to 20 kHz emphasises mid and high frequencies, which are key to the intelligibility of spoken messages.
  • Power levels optimised for close-range use: sufficiently loud for the listener directly in front, without causing continuous exposure for those sitting immediately beside them.
  • Compact and easy to connect: 272 × 69 × 30 mm, with a 3.5 mm jack input, USB-C input and built-in Bluetooth.

Directional sound for close-proximity spaces

The X2 speaker is designed for installations requiring sound to be directed at a specific point: a counter, a kiosk or a display stand. It is the entry-level model in the range of directional speakers, ideal for projects seeking, above all, a compact solution that can be deployed quickly.

A listening area that doesn’t spill over

With a dispersion angle of less than 15° (-20 dB), the X2 directs sound primarily towards the area in front of it. This precision is perfectly suited to the speaker’s most common use: where the listener and staff are just a few metres apart.

Take a reception area, for example. A traditional speaker broadcasts throughout the entire space, meaning the staff member at the counter is exposed to the same message all day long. With the X2, a visitor standing in front of the speaker hears the broadcast content, whilst someone sitting right next to them remains outside the sound beam. The speaker’s power is similarly designed: its sound level is calibrated for close-up listening, not to fill a room.

This combination – a narrow beam and moderate volume – works particularly well when the content being broadcast is spoken. The frequency range of 500 Hz to 20 kHz covers the frequencies that carry the human voice, making the X2 ideal for information messages, instructions, audio commentary and soundtracks associated with a device.

Quick and easy installation, whether on furniture or on the wall

The X2 is just 30 mm thick and weighs less than 400 g. It can be placed on its table stand, mounted on the wall using the supplied bracket, and fits just as well next to a screen as it does in a display unit. Its black and grey colour scheme makes it unobtrusive in most environments. Allow for a distance of around one metre between the speaker and the listener for optimal sound quality.

In terms of input sources, three options are available: USB-C, 3.5 mm jack and Bluetooth, managed according to a fixed order of priority (USB-C, then jack, then Bluetooth). Bluetooth is handy for temporary set-ups, demonstrations and situations where running an extra cable isn’t practical.

Why choose the X2 for your projects?

The X2 offers a subtle solution for situations where a conventional speaker would be too obtrusive. Its compact size allows it to fit into tight spaces, its directionality prevents the sound field from spreading unnecessarily, and its connectivity options cover both wired and wireless use cases.

 

Where and how should the X2 speaker be used?

The X2 is ideally suited to installations where listening takes place at close range and where the acoustic comfort of staff working on site is just as important as that of visitors.

Reception areas and information desks

In a lobby, reception area or information point, the X2 allows you to:

  • Broadcast a welcome message or practical information in front of the desk, without exposing the staff member on duty to continuous playback.
  • Direct visitors to the correct queue or service from a designated listening area in front of the speaker.
  • Add sound to an existing contact point without needing to redesign the hall’s acoustics.

Kiosks, screens and interactive devices

Around a screen or kiosk, X2 enables you to:

  • Add sound to existing content by adding an audio track where the kiosk was previously silent due to a lack of a suitable solution.
  • Place several devices side by side in the same space whilst minimising sound overlap between them.
  • Integrate with the furniture thanks to a footprint that leaves space for the screen and its mounting structure.

Small exhibition and consultation spaces

In an exhibition hall, an educational area or a consultation point, X2 enables you to:

  • Accompany a display case or an object with an audio commentary for visitors who approach it.
  • Maintain a quiet atmosphere in the room by confining the sound to the area around the device.
  • Equip a display stand or a temporary space with a Bluetooth connection, without the need for dedicated cabling.
