DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
XS DESIGN
The unique design of our flagship speaker is based on
ultra-rigid, curved and modular panels. These panels are
exclusively hand-crafted in Italy by the most skilled
cabinet-maker.
The high-damped cabinet is reinforced with a doubled
internal structure and with external wooden multilayer
panels to control resonances and improve the audio
performance. The cabinets conveniently separate the
basses and the mid/highs for a perfect tuning and are
coupled with a 3mm aluminium board to increase the
rigidity of the entire structure even further.
The woofers are installed in a vented cabinet while the
mid/highs are housed in sealed chambers in the upper
cabinet. The upper cabinet also features a second open
chamber with a massive grille made of solid aluminium
to maximize rigidity and reduce internal reflections at
the same time.
The loudspeaker features an integrated heavy-duty
stand made of steel and wood.
TWEETER
For this loudspeaker we developed a 28 mm ultra-
linear tweeter with an extra-thin and soft silk dome
powered by a neodymium magnet featuring an
aluminium damping elliptical rear chamber.
This tweeter provides low frequency resonance,
minimal harmonic distortion and an exceptional
musicality making it a real high-quality and High-
End acoustic transducer.
MIDRANGES
The upper cabinet houses two 150mm ultra-linear
drivers that feature high mass phase plugs and
Nextel treated paper cones to reach high rigidity
and fast natural audio response.
Adaptive rubber surrounds provide an ideal match
to the cone over the total frequency range.
The extra large magnet system with long and
lightweight CCAW voice coil allows perfect coil
excursion and low distortion due to excellent
transient response.
Solid copper rings are mounted above and below
the T-shaped pole piece to reduce non-linear and
modulation distortions and to increase the overload
margin.
The driver is completed by an extremely stiff and
stable skeleton in aluminium/magnesium to avoid
airflow noises and to increase rigidity and
lightness.
