INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ceiling and In-Wall Speaker Systems
INTRODUCTION
The XTC and XTC Reference series loudspeakers are the result of Xantech’s commitment to build
the best speakers possible. In their quest for perfection, Xantech engineers examined every aspect of
their performance and design, from electronic components to structural material, even how they
interact with the home environment. The Result: Flawless performance that you never thought
possible from an installed speaker.
•
Pivoting Tweeters
Pivoting dome tweeters provide brilliant highs, and allow the sound field to be adjusted to fit the
specifics of the listening environment. In-wall speakers can accept a Dinky Link™ IR receiver for a
convenient, discreet mounting solution. In-ceiling speakers have an aerodynamic d
ome-shaped
tweeter housing that eliminates woofer sound-wave restriction.
•
FIM
FIM (Flexible Impedance Matching) binding posts provide a more dependable solution for adding a
second pair of speakers to a room or zone. One post is set for 6 ohms, delivering maximum SPL.
Another flexible post provides 8 ohms for attaching two speaker pairs in parallel without harming the
amplifier.
•
XTC Technology
Xantech XTC technology delivers amazing sound quality. Custom-designed crossovers deliver a
pure, smooth tonal range that goes beyond the typical expectations of an installed speaker.
•
High-density MDF Baffles
The In-Wall baffles are constructed with the same high-density MDF wood material found in premium
box speakers. An MDF based speaker provides sonic clarity by reducing vibrations and resonance.
The XTC baffle design increases dynamics, provides solid bass and midrange performance.
•
SoundPATH Bridge Design
The XTC Reference In-Ceiling baffles are designed to eliminate the adverse-effects of having the
tweeter placed directly over the woofer. SoundPATH’s solid-density bridge design provides sonic
clarity by reducing vibrations and resonance. An aerodynamic shape eliminates woofer sound-wave
restriction.

XA and XB Series
The XTC series is also known by the model numbers as the XB series. The XTC Reference series is
also known by the model numbers as the XA series.

Summary
08905092C - 2 - APPLICATION – SINGLE ZONE A single zone setup can be created using an audio receiver, general purpose amplifier, or a multi-room amplifier. The figure below shows a typical stereo left and right speaker setup. APPLICATION – SMALL AREA (BATHROOM, LAUNDRY ROOM) Small areas such as bath...
08905092C - 3 - ADVANCED APPLICATION – LARGE AREA, MULTIPLE SPEAKER SYSTEMS Large areas such as gathering rooms or banquet halls may require more than a single pair of speakers. Multiple speakers can be connected to the same amplifier channel. This application requires careful understanding of the a...
08905092C - 4 - REQUIREMENTS – SPEAKER PLACEMENT The best sound can be achieved by making sure the speakers are placed is the best position possible. The surface material should be similar for right and left pairs. Also, the cavity volume behind each speaker should be identical. Placing a speaker ne...
