Product Details: Features
The XLS series begins with the XLS320, a compact speaker that can be placed on a bookshelf, on a stand, or mounted on a wall.
With
a depth of only 3-3/4” the XLS320 can be installed in a wall as well.
This optional in-wall mounting kit includes a mesh metal
cover paintable to match wall color and room décor.
BESSEL FUNCTION TWEETER ARRAY
The 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 “VOICING”
Combining 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.
PATENTED LD/HP® TECHNOLOGY
McIntosh 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.
XLS IN-WALL INSTALLATION
Install the XLS320,
XLS340 or the XCS350 in a wall with the optional in-wall installation
kit. The white metal grill is paintable
to match any wall color and blend into the room’s dĂ©cor. Pictured are the XLS340’s.
XLS ON-WALL INSTALLATION
If you prefer your speakers off the floor and on a wall, the XLS320, XLS340 and the XCS350 include on-wall mounting
brackets. Shown here is the XLS340 mounted on a wall.
XLS FINISHES
XLS speaker grills are black acoustic fabric with side trim options of brushed champagne, red cherry, natural cherry and
black ash.
