DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
WOOFERS
The XS-85 speakers feature two 220mm ultra-linear
slightly horn loaded, light drivers with 18gm mass with
Nextel treated paper producing a fast natural audio
response in low frequencies.
The bass drivers feature a large magnet design with
bumped back-plate: the large and damped platform at
the back improves stiffness while the extra-long and light
weight CCAW voice coil allows extreme coil excursion, low
distortion and excellent transient response.
Giant copper rings mounted above and below the T-
shaped pole piece reduce distortion for better overload
margin.
High mass phase plugs reduce compression due to
temperature variations in the voice coil.
Long-term power handling is increased to eliminate
resonances from the cavity inside the voice coil former.
ADJUSTABLE STAND
Optionally available, the exclusive stand featuring hidden
spikes designed to help you with fine adjustments for
perfect positioning.
PS. The adjustable stand is featured in the images
shown on this manual.
CROSSOVER
The passive Crossover Low-High Dual-Slope with
cuts at 200Hz & 2200Hz is a resistive design
that enables ultra-linear load to handle any
sort of amplification without stressing the power
supply, even at a nominal impedance of 4
Ω
.
The sophisticated triple crossover network, with
summing midrange multi-slope design, perfectly
integrates the drivers of the array and with
anti-resonance thick glass-fibre boards rewards
the listener with a close field natural audio
experience.
Air winding, hand-made coils and selected audio
grade capacitors and exclusive graphite custom
GN resistors complete one of the best
crossovers available today.
