Technical presentation
Cabinet design
The cabinet is very lavishly fitted out and made of 25 mm
MDF. It is equipped with a specially modelled bass reflex
gateway to avoid blowing noice and to decrease the air
resistance in the gateway.
We have chosen 25 mm MDF to have a low own resonance.
The cabinet is built with bars to make it even more stable.
The woofer
driver
The XTZ W8.16 is equipped with a powerful and
well-sounding 8 " woofer. The cone has an aluminium frame
for maximal stiffness and has at the same time a low weight,
which contributes to the high efficiency. Also the powerful
magnet contributes to this.
To gain a high power patience, we have chosen a larger
diameter on the coil. The driver is equipped with rubber
suspension for high strength, flexibility and to gain a longer
peak-to-peak excursion.
The diaphragm is one of the type "non pressed paper" which
gives a very stiff yet light driver. The basket is founded in
aluminium. This combination of a powerful magnet, light
driver and stable suspension makes up for both enough
power and high precision in the sound.
The amplifier /
crossover
We have equipped the XTZ W8.16 with a very powerful
amplifier with a big cooling flange for effective cooling. The
terminal connectors are gold-plated and very solid.
To achieve a high power and a long durability, the amplifier
is built with a large ring-coil transformer, large electrolyte
capacitors, and has MosFet transistors in the power
amplifier.
The active amplifier also provides a variety of possible
adjustment possibilities, unable to obtain using a passive
filter. This includes phase, frequency, high pass filtering,
volume etc. By using these settings, the main amplifier is
relieved and thus only takes care of the midrange and
trebble. Thus it works better and the risk of damages on it is
lowered.
