System

“a speaker with enough

dynamic range to accurately recreate

the sonic impact of a

full-sized orchestra in the home”

The XRT2K system is the speaker that speaker engineers have always
dreamed of designing and building. McIntosh engineers made the dream
come true with a three way dual column design meticulously housing
forty tweeters, sixty-four midrange and six woofers. All elements are
chosen for use with high power amplifiers up to 2,000 watts.

Each driver and crossover component has been carefully designed for
durability, efficiency and, above all, low distortion and is the ideal size
for wide-angle sound dispersion. The multiplicity of drivers means that
each element sees only a tiny fraction of the total power. Dynamic
compression (the varying impedance characteristic of a speaker
that is heating and cooling when receiving high power) is reduced
to the vanishing point with this multi-element design.

All this engineering would be wasted if cabinet resonances entered
the picture, so the core of the XRT2K structure is made of extruded
aluminum for maximum rigidity.

With cost concerns removed, the engineers at McIntosh have produced
the ultimate loudspeaker system for those who desire the best.

The XRT2K Loudspeaker is available exclusively through select
McIntosh Authorized Premier Dealers.

TITANIUM DOME TWEETERS

AND MIDRANGES

40 tweeter domes house

titanium diaphragms for a

frequency response to 45kHz.

The 64 midrange drivers each

have a titanium inverted dome.

Titanium has unwavering

rigidity, resulting in smooth

uncolored reproduction.

ALUMINUM CONE WOOFERS

6 aluminum cone
woofers produces powerful
bass down to 10Hz without

any trace of “chestyness”.

THREE SETS OF INPUTS

Three sets of massive gold

plated input connectors allow

bi and tri amping and wiring.

LINE ARRAY DESIGN

The XRT2K is a full range

line array system with

mirror-image symmetry.

Listeners sitting close to the

system will not hear ‘hot spots’

of certain frequencies and

listeners at a great distance

notice little drop off in sound.

The sound dispersion pattern

is smooth and wide, resulting

in exceptional stereo image in

a greater variety of listening

positions. The sealed aluminum

cabinet allows the system to be

located close to a rear wall

without bass “boom”.
