Xtant Technologies XIS Owners manual

Xtant Integrated Separates

The Xtant Integrated Separates are designed to easi­ly work in factory locations as well as custom mounts
and pods. The concentrically mounted drivers have
excellent on or off axis response allowing the user to
explore multiple mounting positions while obtaining
the desired acoustic response. The XIS drivers afford
the listener the ability to customize the system to their
own listening taste by simply choosing a dispersion
module for the tweeter. Please refer to the explana­tions below when optimizing the system.

Dispersion Module Option

The Xtant Integrated Separates offer two dispersion
modules for flexibility in mounting position. The small­er module allows for a wider dispersion of sound
where as the larger option narrows the dispersion
field thereby giving a more direct sound pattern. In
many applications, we have found with door mounted
locations, a wider dispersion pattern works well. In
contrast, a narrower dispersion pattern works well in
direct radiating situations. Both options are provided
to meet your listening needs. Please refer to the dia­gram on the back when changing the dispersion mod­ule.

Speaker Protection

Speaker grills are provided for use in protecting the
driver when the Integrated Separates are mounted
somewhere other than the existing factory location.

Mounting the Driver

The most important factor in achieving good acoustic
response is properly mounting the driver. Be sure that
the speaker is mounted to a solid baffle in order to iso­late the front sound wave from the back sound wave.
This can be achieved by creating a solid, airtight seal
between the speaker and its mount.

Wiring

It is important to use good quality speaker wire
when installing speakers. Additionally, a tight connec­tion is very important in speaker installations. A loose
connection can cause a speaker to cut in and out or
become distorted and harsh.

Bi-Amp Capability

If you wish to drive the woofer and tweeter with sep­arate amplifiers (bi-amp), you must bypass the built on
crossover. To do this, remove the wires connecting the
(-) woofer terminal to the (-) tweeter terminal, and
remove the capacitor between the (+) woofer terminal
and the (+) tweeter terminal. The end result will be
separate connections for woofer and tweeter. You
must send a signal that is crossed over directly to the
woofer and tweeter connections on the driver. If
you’re using an Xtant amplifier either the on board
crossover or a crossover module will provide this sig­nal. Be sure to refer to the frequency response for the
specific driver when choosing your crossover points.
