The enclosure is an important part of the XRT1K Loudspeaker System. The Loudspeaker System utilizes a massive extruded alumi-

num enclosure that houses the Loudspeaker Drivers. Refer to figure 10. It also has multiple front to back internal braces to form a dampened rigid Column Structure. The Column’s small footprint allows for a variety of different placements in a room.

Performance Features

• Patented LD/HP Technology

The McIntosh Low Frequency 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 44 two inch Midranges and 28 three-quarter inch Dome Tweeters all use this Alloy. The Neodymium-Iron- Boron Alloy has the highest flux density per unit of vol- ume and helps to keep the Column weight to a minimum.

• Low Harmonic and Intermodulation Distortion

The XRT1K Loudspeaker System is capable of reproduc- ing the full dynamic range of a symphony orchestra with very low audible distortion of any kind.

• Large Long Low Frequency Port

The XRT1K Loudspeaker System utilizes a very large 6 inch diameter port to increase bass output, reduce distor- tion and improve the overall efficiency of the Loudspeaker.

• High Power Handling

The Loudspeaker Elements and Crossover Components of the XRT1K are all chosen for use with powerful amplifiers up to 1,200 watts.

• Superior Imaging

Locating the Tweeters between the two rows of Midranges generates a symmetrical horizontal polar response for superior imaging.

• Versatile Operation and Placement

In addition to the regular connections, the XRT1K Loud- speaker System provides separate connections for Bi- Amplification and Tri-Amplification hookups, as well as Bi-Wiring and Tri-Wiring.

· Extruded Column

The Column enclosure is extruded thick aluminum con- struction with non-parallel internal sides and is given a High Gloss Black Piano Type Finish.

• Gold Plated Input Connectors

The XRT1K input connectors are gold plated for superior corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity.
