REAR PANEL
IMAGING JUMPER
The XLS Series of
loudspeakers have a
rear panel jumper switch
that allows the choice
of left, center or right
speaker placement
for proper imaging.
PATENTED LD/HP TECHNOLOGYMcIntosh woofers and midranges feature the patented
LD/HP motor structure. This design utilizes aluminum
shorting rings at both ends of the pole piece to extend
and linearise the
magnetic field around
the voice coil. Distortion
is reduced by 10dB
or more. These rings
also increase voice
coil heat dissipation
and the power handling
of the speaker. BESSEL FUNCTION TWEETER ARRAYThe five individual tweeters and their phase relationships
are adjusted so that the array acts as a high frequency
point source with a broad dispersion pattern. In addition,
the array greatly increases power handling for high
frequencies. The Bessel Array can be used in either
the vertical or horizontal position without compromising
sonic integrity. UNIFIED VOICINGCombining the Bessel Tweeter Array with a new and
exceedingly precise crossover, McIntosh Loudspeaker
Engineers established a structure able to generate a
realistic sound image throughout the listening room.
This determines the voice or sound
character of the speaker
and is the foundation
of the family of
XLS loudspeakers.
