Five Tweeter Bessel Function Array
The XLS360 utilizes five
tweeters connected to produce a Bessel Function Array.
The individual tweeter amplitudes and phase relationships
are adjusted so the array acts as a high frequency point
source. One advantage of such an arrangement is a very
smooth and even acoustic polar response. This allows the
listener to move off axis without suffering a change in high
frequency output. The use of multiple tweeters, combined
with a mechanical heat sink, also provides greatly
increased power handling at high frequencies.
Patented LD/HP Technology
The McIntosh Low Frequency and Midrange Loudspeaker
Elements feature the patented LD/HP motor structure. This
design, when compared to conventional Loudspeaker
Elements, reduces distortion significantly. It also increases
power handling and efficiency.
Automatic Overload Protection
The XLS360 have built-in
Loudspeaker Element Protection in the form of automatic
resetting solid-state devices as a part of the crossover network.
High Efficiency
The Loudspeaker Elements used in the XLS360 Loudspeaker Systems have also
been designed for high efficiency. As a result any McIntosh
Power Amplifier, even our smallest, will provide satisfying
room filling sound.
Special Crossover Network
The Crossover Networks used in the
XLS360 Loudspeaker Systems are designed
to ensure an even frequency response over the entire audible
range. The Network utilizes First, Second and Third
Order design for optimal response.
