Introduction and Performance Features

Performance Features

Patented LD/HP Technology

The McIntosh Midrange Loudspeaker Elements feature the patented LD/HP Magnetic Circuit Design. This design, when compared to conventional Loudspeaker Elements, reduces distortion significantly. It also increases power handling and efficiency.

Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy Magnets

The 30 four inch Midranges and 25 one inch Dome Tweet- ers all use this Alloy. The Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy has a high flux density per unit of volume and helps to keep the Column weight to a minimum.

Controlled Magnetic Field

The XRT29 may be used in Home Theater Installations near a television receiver or monitor without causing the television image to degrade. McIntosh has designed a controlled magnetic structure of the XRT29 Loudspeaker Elements to prevent interference.

High Power Handling

The Loudspeaker Elements and Crossover Components of the XRT29 are all chosen for use with powerful amplifiers up to 1,200 watts.

Superior Imaging

Locating the Column of Tweeters between the two Columns of Midranges helps to generate a symmetrical horizontal polar response for superior imaging.

Versatile Operation and Placement

In additional to the regular connections, the XRT29 Loud- speaker System provides separate connections for Bi-Am- plification hookups. The Crossover Network has an input provision to ensure the best performance when the High Frequency Column is mounted in-wall.

Gold Plated Input Connectors

The XRT29 input connectors are gold plated for superior corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity.
