XCS1.5K

Center Speaker

The XCS1.5K Center Channel Loudspeaker is an important piece of the puzzle to create a cinematic, immersive experience in a home theater system that uses our XRT2.1K or XRT1.1K Floor Standing Loudspeakers as the front left and front right speakers.

The center channel speaker is a critical component in a home cinema system as a vast majority of dialog and other key sounds emanate from the center speaker – thus making it essential that it produces a high quality, clear sound. The XCS1.5K has been meticulously engineered for this exact purpose.

The XCS1.5K has been voiced to match both the XRT2.1K and XRT1.1K, ensuring proper timbre of vocals and sounds as the sonic image moves across the virtual stage in front of you.

Uses our line array speaker design where the midranges and tweeters are installed in an array mounted forward of the woofers. Forty three individual drivers deliver unparalleled sound reproduction.

Crossover networks are phase matched between the low frequency, midrange, and high frequency sections to ensure a smooth frequency response over the entire audible range.

Bass cabinet is a combination of brushed and black aluminum and is finished with 7 layers of high gloss piano black paint. Line array mimics the timeless McIntosh front panel appearance with a black center section and silver trim. Grilles magnetically attach for easy removal.

McIntosh gold-plated Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts easily but securely attach your speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose while also ensuring a quality signal is delivered to the speaker.
