XRT28 Loudspeaker System HOME THEATER AND MORE Many of todays speakers are designed only for home theater. Not so with the XRT28 Loudspeaker System, designed also for the flawless reproduction of music. While the explosions, screams and crashes so common in todays movies require wide dynamic range and high sound pressure levels, they are so masked with noise that even a speaker with moderate distortion can reproduce them with little audible distinction. Music, however, while sometimes dynamic is always harmonious. Accurate reproduction of music demands the lowest levels of both harmonic and intermodulation distortion. Each driver and crossover component in the XRT28 has been carefully designed for low distortion to ensure that the system could reproduce everything accurately, from bombastic sound effects to the delicate nuances and detail in music. A DECORATORS DREAM No matter how great the sound, a great speaker should not conflict with the style or décor of the room. The XRT28s small footprint and tall slender design occupy little space. In addition, three choices of wood finish allow you the option to blend the loudspeaker into virtually any room design. Frequency Range: 16Hz – 20kHz SPL, 2.8V/1m: 88dB Crossover: 300Hz & 2kHz Overall Dimensions (H x W x D): 76-1/8" (193cm) x 16-3/8" (41.6cm) x 16-3/8" (41.6cm) Aluminum Surfaces: Black satin powder coat EXTRUDED ALUMINUM ENCLOSUREAn extruded aluminum enclosure with solid aluminum end plates forms the body of the column. This creates an extremely strong and durable enclosure. GOLD PLATED BINDING POSTSThree pairs of gold plated binding posts allow for bi-amping or tri-amping. Gold plating is chosen because of superior corrosion resistance. PATENTED LD/HP TECHNOLOGYThe McIntosh drivers, woofers and midranges feature the patented LD/HP motor structure. This design uses aluminum shorting rings at both ends of the pole piece to extend and linearize the magnetic field around the voice coil. Distortion is reduced by 10dB or more. SHIELDED MAGNETIC FIELDThe XRT28 may be used in home theater installations near a television receiver or monitor. Shielding around the drivers ensures that the speaker magnets will not interfere with the quality of the picture. HIGH POWER HANDLINGDrivers and crossover components are chosen for high-power amplifiers up to 1200 watts for the complete system. HIGH EFFICIENCY DRIVERSEven the smallest McIntosh power amplifiers provide sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB at 1 meter. THREE-WAY DESIGNThe design consists of sixteen 1" tweeters, twenty 4" midrange and two 10" woofers.
