XT550 specifications

Phase Technology’s XT550 is an impressive addition to the realm of high-performance loudspeakers, showcasing a blend of cutting-edge technologies and innovative design elements. Engineered to deliver extraordinary sound quality while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing presence, the XT550 stands out in today’s competitive audio market.

One of the standout features of the XT550 is its three-way design, which helps to achieve an extended frequency response and remarkable clarity across all audio ranges. This configuration includes a dedicated woofer, a midrange driver, and a tweeter, allowing the speaker to reproduce a wide spectrum of sound with precision. The 5.25-inch Polypropylene woofer offers robust low-end performance, ensuring that bass tones are both powerful and defined. Accompanying this is a 4-inch midrange driver, which excels at producing rich vocal sounds and instrumental details.

The XT550 boasts advanced technologies such as Phase Technology’s unique Linear Motion Drive (LMD) system. This innovation minimizes distortion and enhances transient response, leading to a more natural and immersive listening experience. The inclusion of a high-performance silk dome tweeter contributes to smooth, airy high frequencies, ensuring that every note is delivered with detail and finesse.

An additional characteristic of the XT550 is its proprietary Bass Reflex design, which incorporates a specially engineered port to enhance low-frequency output. This design promotes deeper bass while maintaining clarity, allowing listeners to enjoy the fullness of their favorite music or movie soundtracks without muddiness.

In terms of construction, the XT550 features a rugged cabinet designed to minimize vibrations, enhancing sound fidelity. The cabinet is crafted from high-quality materials and is available in various finishes to suit any decor, making it not only a functional speaker but also a stylish addition to any space.

Furthermore, the XT550 is equipped with high-quality binding posts for easy connection to amplifiers and receivers. This flexibility allows it to integrate seamlessly into various audio setups, whether for casual listening or a dedicated home theater system.

Overall, the Phase Technology XT550 stands as a benchmark in audio innovation, merging superior sound performance with elegant design. It’s a noteworthy option for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, promising a captivating auditory experience that leverages technology and craftsmanship to its fullest potential.
