XRT29 Loudspeaker System HOME THEATER AND MORE Many of todays speakers are designed only for home theater. Not so with the XRT29 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 has been carefully designed for low distortion to ensure that the system is able to reproduce all sounds accurately, from bombastic movie effects to the delicate nuances and detail in music.PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS System Type:Sealed, 2-way Impedance Nominal:4 ohms Magnetic Shielding:All drivers Total System Midranges: (60) 4" Extended Excursion LD/HP Tweeters:(50) 1" Soft Dome Frequency Range:80 Hz – 20 kHz SPL:2.8V/1m: 88dB 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 woofers and midrange drivers feature a 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 XRT29 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. TWO-WAY DESIGNThe design consists of twenty-five 1" tweeters, thirty 4" midrange drivers. VERSATILE PLACEMENTOn-wall mounting brackets are supplied with the XRT29.
