Ceiling and In-Wall Speaker Systems

INTRODUCTION

The XTC and XTC Reference series loudspeakers are the result of Xantech’s commitment to build the best speakers possible. In their quest for perfection, Xantech engineers examined every aspect of their performance and design, from electronic components to structural material, even how they interact with the home environment. The Result: Flawless performance that you never thought possible from an installed speaker.

Pivoting Tweeters

Pivoting dome tweeters provide brilliant highs, and allow the sound field to be adjusted to fit the specifics of the listening environment. In-wall speakers can accept a Dinky Link™ IR receiver for a convenient, discreet mounting solution. In-ceiling speakers have an aerodynamic dome-shaped tweeter housing that eliminates woofer sound-wave restriction.

FIM

FIM (Flexible Impedance Matching) binding posts provide a more dependable solution for adding a second pair of speakers to a room or zone. One post is set for 6 ohms, delivering maximum SPL. Another flexible post provides 8 ohms for attaching two speaker pairs in parallel without harming the amplifier.

XTC Technology

Xantech XTC technology delivers amazing sound quality. Custom-designed crossovers deliver a pure, smooth tonal range that goes beyond the typical expectations of an installed speaker.

High-density MDF Baffles

The In-Wall baffles are constructed with the same high-density MDF wood material found in premium box speakers. An MDF based speaker provides sonic clarity by reducing vibrations and resonance. The XTC baffle design increases dynamics, provides solid bass and midrange performance.

SoundPATH Bridge Design

The XTC Reference In-Ceiling baffles are designed to eliminate the adverse-effects of having the tweeter placed directly over the woofer. SoundPATH’s solid-density bridge design provides sonic clarity by reducing vibrations and resonance. An aerodynamic shape eliminates woofer sound-wave restriction.

XA and XB Series

The XTC series is also known by the model numbers as the XB series. The XTC Reference series is also known by the model numbers as the XA series.
