XRT2K Loudspeaker System

xrt2k

The XRT2K Loudspeaker System is the speaker that speaker engineers have always dreamed of designing and building. McIntosh engineers made the dream come true with a three-way, dual column design meticulously housing six 12" aluminum long throw woofers, sixty-four 2" titanium midrange drivers and forty 3/4" titanium tweeters. All elements are chosen for use with high power amplifiers up to 2,000 watts.

Each driver and crossover component has been carefully designed for durability, efficiency and, above all, low distortion and is the ideal size for wide-angle sound dispersion. The multiplicity of drivers means that each element sees only a tiny fraction of the total power. Dynamic compression (the varying impedance characteristic of a speaker that is heating and cooling when receiving high power) is reduced to the vanishing point with this multi-element design.

All this engineering would be wasted if cabinet resonances entered the picture, so the core of the XRT2K structure is made of extruded aluminum for maximum rigidity.

  • Each speaker can handle up to 2,000 watts of power
  • Tri-Wire and Tri-Amp Capability
  • Massive Overload-Proof Crossover
  • Total of 110 drivers in each speaker
  • Each speaker houses Six 12" Aluminum Cone Woofers, Sixty-Four 2" Titanium Midranges and Forty 3/4" Titanium Tweeters

XRT1K Loudspeaker

XRT1K

Newly designed dual 10” woofers deliver a more powerful and dynamic bass response than was achievable in prior models. The high-gloss, piano black extruded aluminum enclosure is extra deep to allow top-porting. A new woofer casting permits the XRT1K to have an unusually narrow profile for a loudspeaker with 1,200 watts of power handling and it’s 8 ohm impedance is easy on amplifiers.

  • 1,200 Watts Power Handling
  • Ported, 3-Way Design
  • Two 10" Extended Excursion LD/HP Woofers
  • Fourty-Four 2" Titanium Midrange
  • Twenty-Eight 3/4" Titanium Dome Tweeters
  • Integrated Bass for Low Frequency Extension
  • High Efficiency Ported Design
  • Durable Extruded Aluminum Housing
  • Three Pairs of Gold Plated Binding Posts

XLS320 2-Way Loudspeaker

xls320pr
  • Voice Box Design consisting of five 1" Tweeters in Bessel Array combined with a McIntosh developed crossover for a unified "Voice" across the XLS series
  • 6-1/2" Woofer with McIntosh patented LD/HP technology
  • Three position mirror image phasing
  • Shielded magnetic field
  • Rigid extruded aluminum cabinet construction for low distortion output and flex-free music reproduction
  • Maximum placement options of shelf, on a stand, on a wall or in-wall

The concept and "Voice" of the XLS series begins with the XLS320 bookshelf size speaker. The XLS320 employs a second generation five tweeter Bessel Array for uncompressed, high power reproduction of high frequencies with both delicacy and natural detail. The five tweeter Bessel Array is combined with a precision 6-1/2" woofer/midrange driver with McIntosh patented LD/HPTM technology which is then connected to a precision crossover network to form the common "Voice" across the XLS series. Any combination of XLS speakers can be used in any location with a common result; realistic sound image throughout the listening room.

The five tweeter Bessel Array, woofer/midrange and McIntosh designed crossover network are mounted in a compact extruded aluminum enclosure. This aluminum enclosure is strong, light and antiresonant which allows the XLS320 to be both small and have the internal volume necessary for proper bass tone.
