Icon Series Loudspeaker

Thank you for your purchase of this Icon Series Loudspeaker. In total, there are six models within the new Icon Series: the XF-48 fully-active floorstander, XL-23 left/center/right speaker, XB-10 bookshelf/satellite speaker, XC-10 center channel speaker, as well as the XW-500d and XW-300d subwoofers.

All of these speakers, except for the subwoofers, utilize a new wide dispersion Tractrix® Horn-loaded tweeter with XTTM technology. This proprietary design diffuses sound in a smooth, enveloping

80-degree by 80-degree pattern from extremely thin cabinets. As with all Klipsch horn-loaded technology, this version also produces more output using less energy and delivers the company’s signature dynamic sound.

Please be sure to fill out the warranty card included with this manual or online at www.klipsch.com so we are better able to serve you.
