HOME THEATER
AND MORE
Many of today’s speakers
are designed only for home
theater. Not so with the
XRT28 Loudspeaker System,
designed also for the flawless
reproduction of music.
While the explosions, screams
and crashes so common in
today’s movies require wide
dynamic range and high sound
pressure levels, they are
so masked with noise that
even a speaker with moderate
distortion can reproduce them
with little audible distinction.
Music, however, while sometimes
dynamic is always harmonious.
Accurate reproduction of music
demands the lowest levels
of both harmonic and
intermodulation distortion.
Each driver and crossover
component in the XRT28 has
been carefully designed for
low distortion to ensure that the
system could reproduce everything
accurately, from bombastic sound
effects to the delicate nuances
and detail in music.
A DECORATORS DREAM
No matter how great the
sound, a great speaker should
not conflict with the style or
décor of the room. The XRT28’s
small footprint and tall slender
design occupy little space. In
addition, three choices of wood
finish allow you the option to
blend the loudspeaker into
virtually any room design.
Frequency Range:
16Hz – 20kHz
SPL, 2.8V/1m:
88dB
Crossover:
300Hz & 2kHz

Aluminum Surfaces:
Black satin powder coat
EXTRUDED ALUMINUM ENCLOSURE
An extruded aluminum enclosure
with solid aluminum end plates
forms the body of the column.
This creates an extremely
strong and durable enclosure.
GOLD PLATED BINDING POSTS
Three pairs of gold plated
binding posts allow for bi-amping
or tri-amping. Gold plating is
chosen because of superior
corrosion resistance.
PATENTED LD/HP TECHNOLOGY
The McIntosh drivers, woofers
and midranges feature the
patented LD/HP motor structure.
This design uses aluminum
shorting rings at both ends of
the pole piece to extend and
linearize the magnetic field
around the voice coil. Distortion
is reduced by 10dB or more.
SHIELDED MAGNETIC FIELD
The XRT28 may be used in
home theater installations near
a television receiver or monitor.
Shielding around the drivers
ensures that the speaker
magnets will not interfere
with the quality of the picture.
HIGH POWER HANDLING
Drivers and crossover components
are chosen for high-power
amplifiers up to 1200 watts
for the complete system.
HIGH EFFICIENCY DRIVERS
Even the smallest McIntosh
power amplifiers provide sound
pressure levels in excess of
100dB at 1 meter.
THREE-WAY DESIGN
The design consists of sixteen
1" tweeters, twenty 4" midrange
and two 10" woofers.
