FOR BUILT-IN CABINETS, A UTILITY VERSION
OF THE AWARD WINNING XA 90PS TOWER
The XA 1900THX is the world’s first THX Ultra2 certified
speaker. THX’s Ultra2 sets a benchmark for surround
sound playback of...Music and Movies...Digital and
ProLogic...DVD and CD. The result is a system
uncompromised by program content or format! The XA
1900THX deploys the components of the award winning Snell
XA 90ps in a space efficient enclosure designed to fit into
most furniture and built-in cabinets or behind acoustically
transparent screens. Intended for home theater and music
system’s L/C/R channels, the XA 1900THX features a three-driver
eXpanding Array (XA) of dual 2 ½-inch midranges and 1-inch
aluminum dome tweeter. This unique driver/crossover
innovation manages vertical directivity without lobing, for a
natural and “airy” soundstage. Furthermore, its controlled
dispersion pattern and special tuning compensate for
unpredictable room acoustics and boundary interactions.
Coupled with two 8-inch high output woofers, the XA
1900THX is capable of tremendous output, providing effort-
less, powerful sound to below 50 Hz. Every XA 1900THX is
assembled by hand and individually calibrated, assuring
performance to within 0.5dB of its reference standard.
