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

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.

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.
