Ceiling and In-Wall Speaker Systems

 

 

INTRODUCTION 

The XTC and XTC Reference series loudspeakers are the result of Xantech’s commitment to build 
the best speakers possible. In their quest for perfection, Xantech engineers examined every aspect of 
their performance and design, from electronic components to structural material, even how they 
interact with the home environment. The Result: Flawless performance that you never thought 
possible from an installed speaker.   
 

 

Pivoting Tweeters 

Pivoting dome tweeters provide brilliant highs, and allow the sound field to be adjusted to fit the 
specifics of the listening environment. In-wall speakers can accept a Dinky Link™ IR receiver for a 
convenient, discreet mounting solution. In-ceiling speakers have an aerodynamic d

ome-shaped 

tweeter housing that eliminates woofer sound-wave restriction.

 

 

 

FIM 

FIM (Flexible Impedance Matching) binding posts provide a more dependable solution for adding a 
second pair of speakers to a room or zone. One post is set for 6 ohms, delivering maximum SPL. 
Another flexible post provides 8 ohms for attaching two speaker pairs in parallel without harming the 
amplifier. 
 

 

XTC Technology 

Xantech XTC technology delivers amazing sound quality. Custom-designed crossovers deliver a 
pure, smooth tonal range that goes beyond the typical expectations of an installed speaker. 
 

 

High-density MDF Baffles 

The In-Wall baffles are constructed with the same high-density MDF wood material found in premium 
box speakers. An MDF based speaker provides sonic clarity by reducing vibrations and resonance. 
The XTC baffle design increases dynamics, provides solid bass and midrange performance. 

 

 

SoundPATH Bridge Design 

The XTC Reference In-Ceiling baffles are designed to eliminate the adverse-effects of having the 
tweeter placed directly over the woofer. SoundPATH’s solid-density bridge design provides sonic 
clarity by reducing vibrations and resonance. An aerodynamic shape eliminates woofer sound-wave 
restriction. 

 

 

XA and XB Series 

The XTC series is also known by the model numbers as the XB series. The XTC Reference series is 
also known by the model numbers as the XA series.
