levels. This prevents the addition of distortion to the music at low frequencies. The High Frequency Crossover Net- work utilizes both
Second and Third
Order Crossover Designs. Refer to figure 7. It also uses Capacitors and In- ductors with high current capacity. The Capacitors used include low loss (ESR) Polypro- pylene and Mylar types. Both Cross- over Networks also utilize self resetting high current Poly-
Switches to provide an extra measure of protection. The enclosures are an important part of the XRT30
Loudspeaker System. The Bass Section Cabinet is con- structed from 1
inch and
aluminum enclosure that houses the 30 four inch Midrange and 25 one inch Tweeter Drivers. Refer to figure 9. It also has multiple front
to back internal braces to form a dampened rigid Column Struc- ture. 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 and 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.
•
The 30 four inch Midranges and 25 one inch Dome Tweet- ers all use this Alloy. The
•Shielded Magnetic Field
The XRT30 may be used in Home Theater Installations near a television receiver or monitor without causing the television image to degrade. McIntosh has designed special shielding around the magnetic structure of the XRT30 Loudspeaker Elements to prevent interference.
•High Power Handling
The Loudspeaker Elements and Crossover Components of the XRT30 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 XRT30 Loud- speaker System provides separate connections for
•Gold Plated Input Connectors
The XRT30 input connectors are gold plated for superior corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity.
