X-Ref 10 specifications

The Emotiva X-Ref 10 is a standout addition to the company's line of high-performance speakers, specifically designed for audiophiles looking to enhance their home audio experience. This floor-standing speaker embodies a perfect blend of advanced technology, premium materials, and meticulous engineering, making it an ideal choice for both music lovers and home theater enthusiasts.

One of the main features of the X-Ref 10 is its sophisticated 3-way design, which contributes to its impressive sound quality. This configuration includes a dedicated woofer, midrange driver, and high-frequency tweeter, each tasked with reproducing specific audio frequencies with precision. The 10-inch woofer delivers robust bass response, while the 4-inch midrange driver ensures clarity in the vocal and instrumental range. The 1-inch tweeter offers detailed highs, providing an expansive soundstage that captures every nuance of the audio.

Emotiva has employed advanced technologies in the X-Ref 10 to enhance its performance further. The use of a polypropylene cone for the woofer not only helps to minimize distortion but also improves overall responsiveness. The midrange and tweeter utilize a silk dome design, which allows for smoother frequency response and a more natural sound. Additionally, the speaker features a specially designed porting system that enhances low-frequency output while eliminating unwanted resonances.

The cabinet construction of the X-Ref 10 is another highlight. It is built from high-quality MDF for structural integrity and resonance control, ensuring that sound waves remain undistorted. The internal bracing is strategically placed to minimize vibration and enhance acoustic performance. Aesthetic appeal is also a priority, with a sleek and modern design available in elegant finishes that can complement any home décor.

Connectivity is simplified with the X-Ref 10, featuring robust binding posts that accept a variety of cable types and ensure a secure connection. The impedance is optimized for compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers, allowing for flexible system configurations.

With its excellent tonal balance, dynamic range, and attention to detail, the Emotiva X-Ref 10 is designed to provide an immersive listening experience. Whether used for critical music playback or as part of a surround sound setup, this speaker delivers audio performance that meets the high standards set by Emotiva. It represents a significant investment in sound quality that's sure to enhance any audio setup, making it a must-consider option in the competitive speaker market.
