McIntosh XRT1.1K Floorstanding Loudspeaker

The McIntosh XRT1.1K is a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker for high-quality hi-fi systems. As a more compact alternative to the larger XRT2.1K, it was designed to be integrated into more living environments without sacrificing powerful and room-filling music reproduction.

Line Array Design for a Broad Sound Field

The XRT1.1K's line array design distributes sound evenly and broadly throughout the room. This creates a stable stereo image at many listening positions. People near the speaker are not directly hit by all drivers simultaneously, while more distant listening positions perceive more drivers on axis. This allows the speaker to maintain a consistent sound even at different distances.

Elaborate 4-Way Construction with 70 Drivers

A total of 70 individual drivers are at work in the XRT1.1K. These include woofers, low-frequency mid-range drivers, upper mid-range drivers, and tweeters. The low-frequency and low-frequency mid-range sections are located in the large bass cabinet behind the line array. The upper mid-range drivers and tweeters are located in the front line array unit. This arrangement combines powerful bass reproduction with finely resolved dispersion in the mid-range and high-frequency areas.

Technologies and Construction

The McIntosh XRT1.1K utilizes a bass-reflex-supported 4-way system, line array technology, separate frequency ranges, an elaborately constructed crossover, and Solid Cinch speaker connectors. The crossover uses capacitors and inductors with low losses and high current capacity. Additionally, self-resetting PTC fuses are used to protect the drivers. Terms such as line array, 4-way, tri-amping, tri-wiring, and McIntosh speakers describe the central technical features of this model.

Connectivity Options for Flexible System Concepts

Speaker cables are attached via gold-plated Solid Cinch speaker terminals. Separate connection areas are available for mid/high frequency, low frequency, and subwoofer frequencies. This allows the XRT1.1K to be used for tri-amping or tri-wiring with a suitable system. This connection structure facilitates the setup of demanding speaker configurations.

Workmanship and Design

The bass cabinet is finished with seven layers of high-gloss piano black lacquer. The design is complemented by brushed and black aluminum. The line array unit incorporates classic McIntosh design elements with a black center section and silver trim. The included speaker grilles are made of black knit fabric, are magnetically attached, and are optionally removable. The four adjustable feet help to securely align the speaker on the floor and establish stable contact with the surface.

Difference between XRT1 and XRT2

The XRT1.1K is a large floorstanding loudspeaker, but it has been reduced in height and weight compared to the XRT2.1K. This allows it to be used in more living environments.
