Tweeter Array Optimization
The XLS320 Loudspeaker System incorporates a special
feature in the Crossover Network for optimization of the
sound coming from the five tweeter array, refer to figure
37A. The three different settings in the crossover network
have to do with the
physical location of
the Loudspeaker in
the Home Theater
and/or Music
System.
On the rear panel of the Loudspeaker System, there is a
recessed connection plate with binding posts for connection
of hookup cables. Ad-
jacent to the binding
posts on the same re-
cessed connection
plate, are two rows of
jacks with two McIn-
tosh Jumpers already
inserted, refer to fig-
ure 38A. The default
postion of the jumpers
for the XLS320 Loud-
speaker System is C,
refer to figure 39A.
For the best sound
performance, it is im-
portant to make sure
the jumpers are set
according to the Loud-
speaker System loca-
tion in the room. Refer to the chart below for the correct
Jumper positions; if necessary, remove the two jumpers and
reinsert them for the Loudspeaker location.
