Introduction and Performance Features
Performance Features
• Patented LD/HP Technology
The McIntosh 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.
•
Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy Magnets
The 30 four inch Midranges and 25 one inch Dome Tweet-
ers all use this Alloy. The Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy
has a high flux density per unit of volume and helps to
keep the Column weight to a minimum.
•
Controlled Magnetic Field
The XRT29 may be used in Home Theater Installations
near a television receiver or monitor without causing the
television image to degrade. McIntosh has designed a
controlled magnetic structure of the XRT29 Loudspeaker
Elements to prevent interference.
•
High Power Handling
The Loudspeaker Elements and Crossover Components of
the XRT29 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 XRT29 Loud-
speaker System provides separate connections for Bi-Am-
plification hookups. The Crossover Network has an input
provision to ensure the best performance when the High
Frequency Column is mounted in-wall.
•
Gold Plated Input Connectors
The XRT29 input connectors are gold plated for superior
corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity.
