Product Details: Features

The XLS340 and the XCS350 contain the exact same VOICE as the XLS320 with the addition of two 8” woofers for expanded bass reproduction. The XLS340 floor standing or in-wall speaker may be combined with the XCS350 as a matching center channel. Like the XLS320, the XLS340 and XCS350 share the same shallow 3-3/4” depth and placement options and are as versatile as your imagination. The XCS350 may be used vertically or horizontally with equally satisfying results. 

BESSEL  FUNCTION TWEETER ARRAY
The five individual tweeters and their phase relationships are adjusted so that the array acts as a high frequency point source with a broad dispersion pattern. In addition, the array greatly increases power handling for high frequencies. The Bessel Array can be used in either the vertical or horizontal position without compromising sonic integrity.   

UNIFIED VOICING
Combining the Bessel Tweeter Array with a new and exceedingly precise crossover, McIntosh Loudspeaker Engineers established a structure able to generate a realistic sound image throughout the listening room. This determines the “voice” or sound character of the speaker and is the foundation of the family of XLS loudspeakers.   

PATENTED LD/HP® TECHNOLOGY
McIntosh woofers and midranges feature the patented LD/HP motor structure. This design utilizes aluminum shorting rings at both ends of the pole piece to extend the magnetic field around the voice coil. Distortion is reduced by 10dB or more. These rings also increase voice coil heat dissipation and the power handling of the speaker.

XLS IN-WALL INSTALLATION
Install the XLS320, XLS340 or the XCS350 in a wall with the optional in-wall installation kit. The white metal grill can be painted to match any wall color and blend into the room’s décor. Pictured are the XLS340’s. XLS ON-WALL INSTALLATION
If you prefer your speakers off the floor and on a wall, the XLS320, XLS340 and the XCS350 include on-wall mounting brackets. Shown here is the XLS340 mounted on a wall.
