“ its shape actually
enhances the sound while
presenting a sleek appearance”
The XRT28 bears little resemblance to other speakers. Tall, slender and
shallow, its shape actually enhances the sound while presenting a sleek
appearance. Its narrow frontal area improves imaging and minimi es
reflections off the front baffle.
By dividing incoming power among many drivers, power handling
skyrockets while distortion plummets. Each XRT28 combines 16 tweeters
and 20 midrange drivers, all arranged in 3 parallel columns, together
with 2 powerful woofers which result in a full-range system capable
of effortlessly handling 1200 Watts.
The use of sealed midrange drivers and tweeters allows the entire volume
of the extruded aluminum enclosure to be utili ed by the woofers resulting
in clean, tight, non-resonant bass response down to an ama ing 16H .
Additionally, all drivers in the XRT28 are magnetically shielded to
prevent video interference and enable them to be positioned next
to a television or video monitor.

HOME THEATER
AND MORE
Many o today’s speakers
are designed only or home
theater. Not so with the
XRT28 Loudspeaker System,
designed also or the lawless
reproduction o music.
While the explosions, screams
and crashes so common in
today’s movies require wide
dynamic range and high sound
pressure levels, they are
so masked with noise that
even a speaker with moderate
distortion can reproduce them
with little audible distinction.
Music, however, while sometimes
dynamic is always harmonious.
Accurate reproduction o music
demands the lowest levels
o both harmonic and
intermodulation distortion.
Each driver and crossover
component in the XRT28 has
been care ully designed or
low distortion to ensure that the
system could reproduce everything
accurately, rom bombastic sound
e ects to the delicate nuances
and detail in music.
A DECORATORS DREAM
No matter how great the
sound, a great speaker should
not con lict with the style or
décor o the room. The XRT28’s
small ootprint and tall slender
design occupy little space. In
addition, three choices o wood
inish allow you the option to
blend the loudspeaker into
virtually any room design.
