McIntosh® Floor Standing Speaker

At a Glance

McIntosh® Floors Standing Speaker with 600 watts power handling and 11 upper-frequency drivers

Proposition 65 Warning for California Residents

XR100 floor standing loudspeaker is sleek and contemporary in appearance while producing full range audio reproduction typical of much larger cabinet designs. Fine gloss wood finishes are offered in Black, Pear Maple, and Red Walnut. The magnetically attached grill is acoustically transparent and covered with neutral black cloth. Unique front panel McIntosh logo may be illuminated when configured with a McIntosh system. Spikes and furniture glide feet are included.

Woofers with 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 Drivers, reduces distortion significantly. It also increases power handling and efficiency.

Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy Magnets

The 10 two inch Midrange Drivers and the three-quarter inch Dome Super Tweeter all use this Alloy. The Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy has the highest flux density per unit of volume. This allows for a smaller physical size driver and thus closer driver to driver placement for improved dispersion.

Dual Midrange Crossover Points

There are several benefits when using multiple Midrange drivers. First, there is a substantial increase in power handling capacity far greater than a single larger diameter midrange driver.

Second, due to mutual acoustic coupling there is an increase in output volume while at the same time a reduction in audible distortion. Eight of the 10 Midrange Drivers reproduce the lower two octaves of midrange frequencies. The remaining two Midrange Drivers reproduce the upper two octaves of midrange frequencies and are located directly adjacent to the tweeter. This maintains wide dispersion with a stable sound image throughout the upper midrange frequencies.

Low Harmonic and Intermodulation Distortion

The XR100 Loudspeaker System is capable of reproducing the full dynamic range of a symphony orchestra with very low audible distortion of any kind.

Low Frequency Port

The XR100 Loudspeaker System utilizes a vertical port with a rear opening 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 XR100 are all chosen for use with amplifiers up to 600 watts, yet can be driven with a 75 watt amplifier.

Loudspeaker Protection

The XR100’s built-in speaker protection incorporates four automatic resetting solid-state devices in the crossover network. One protects the tweeters, one each for the low and upper midrange drivers and one for the woofers.

Superior Imaging

Locating the Super Tweeter between the multiple Midrange drivers generates a symmetrical polar response for superior imaging. The Midrange and Super Tweeter Drivers are precisely aligned on the precision machined mounting plate of 5/8 inch thick aluminium with a Brushed Champagne Gold Finish.

Versatile Operation

In additional to the regular connections, the XR100 Loudspeaker System provides separate connections for Bi-Amplification and Bi-Wiring hookups.

McIntosh Custom Binding Posts

McIntosh Patent Gold Plated Output Terminals deliver high current output. They accept large diameter wire and spade lugs. Banana plugs may also be used.

Power Control

The Power Control Input supplies power to illuminate the XR100 McIntosh Logo and Power Control Output supplies power for remote turn-on of additional Components.

Loudspeaker Enclosure

The XR100 Loudspeaker enclosure is constructed with non-parallel internal sides to reduce internal standing waves. It has multiple front to back and side to side internal braces to form a dampened rigid Loudspeaker enclosure. The XR100 is available in various real wood veneers with a high gloss polyester finish.

Loudspeaker Grille

The custom designed molded Loudspeaker Front Grille exhibits nearly perfect Acoustic Transparency and is secured to the Loudspeaker Enclosure using Neodymium Magnets.

Solid State Front Panel Logo Illumination

The even Illumination of the Front Panel Logo is accomplished by the combination of custom designed Light Diffusers and extra long life Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
