McIntosh XRT1K Line Array Speakers - 1200W Power Rating, High-Gloss Piano Black

The loudspeaker engineers at McIntosh are pleased to introduce the XRT1K, the first member of a new family of speakers that benefit from the knowledge garnered in the development of the rave-reviewed XRT2K speaker system.

Newly designed dual 10-inch woofers deliver a more powerful and dynamic bass response than was achievable in prior models. The high-gloss, piano black extruded aluminum enclosure is extra deep to allow top-porting. A new woofer casting permits the XRT1K to have an unusually narrow profile for a loudspeaker with 1,200 watts of power handling and its 8-Ohm impedance is easy on amplifiers.

Two columns of twenty-two 2” black titanium midranges flank a column of twenty-eight 3/4” black titanium tweeters forming a tri-column line design. The new 2” inverted-dome midranges ensure wide dispersion throughout the entire listening area for significant imaging improvement. The new 3/4” tweeter domes are small enough in diameter to maintain wide dispersion extending out to the limits of human hearing, and their incredibly low moving-mass extends response out to 45kHz. Such wide bandwidth portends smoother frequency and phase response within the audio band for non-fatiguing sound... a McIntosh Hallmark.

McIntosh XRT1K Line Array Loudspeaker System - Owner's Manual

McIntosh Performance Features Include:
• Patented LD/HP Technology
The McIntosh Low Frequency Loudspeaker Elements feature the patented LD/HP Magnetic Circuit Design. This design, when compared to conventional Loudspeaker Elements, reduces distortion significantly. It also increases power handling and efficiency.

• Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy Magnets
The 44 two inch Midranges and 28 three-quarter inch Dome Tweeters all use this Alloy. The Neodymium-Iron- Boron Alloy has the highest flux density per unit of volume and helps to keep the Column weight to a minimum.

• Low Harmonic and Intermodulation Distortion
The XRT1K Loudspeaker System is capable of reproducing the full dynamic range of a symphony orchestra with very low audible distortion of any kind.

• Large Long Low Frequency Port
The XRT1K Loudspeaker System utilizes a very large 6 inch diameter port to increase bass output, reduce distortion and improve the overall efficiency of the Loudspeaker.

• High Power Handling
The Loudspeaker Elements and Crossover Components of the XRT1K are all chosen for use with powerful amplifiers up to 1,200 watts.

• Superior Imaging
Locating the Tweeters between the two rows of Midranges generates a symmetrical horizontal polar response for superior imaging.

• Versatile Operation and Placement
In addition to the regular connections, the XRT1K Loud- speaker System provides separate connections for Bi- Amplification and Tri-Amplification hookups, as well as Bi-Wiring and Tri-Wiring.

• Extruded Column
The Column enclosure is extruded thick aluminum construction with non-parallel internal sides and is given a High Gloss Black Piano Type Finish.

• Gold Plated Input Connectors
The XRT1K input connectors are gold plated for superior corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity.
