Important Information

Caution: The XRT29 High Frequency Column weight is 82

pounds (37.20kg) net. It requires two or more persons

to safely handle the column.

1. Loudspeaker Cables of adequate size are important to ensure

that there will be no significant power loss or heating. Cable

size is specified in Gauge numbers or AWG (American Wire

Gauge). The smaller the Gauge number, the larger the wire

size:

If the Loudspeaker Cables are 25 feet (7.62m) or less, use at

least 18 Gauge (AWG) wire size or larger.

If the Loudspeaker Cables are 50 feet (38.1m) or less, use at

least 14 Gauge (AWG) wire size or larger.

If the Loudspeaker Cables are 100 feet (76.2m) or less, use at

least 12 Gauge (AWG) wire size or larger.

The Loudspeaker Connection Terminals can accept up to 12

Gauge (AWG) wire.

2. For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s

manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the XRT29

Loudspeaker.

3. The XRT29 has built-in speaker protection in the form of three

automatic resetting solid-state devices as part of the

crossover networks. Two protect the tweeters and one for the

midranges drivers. The characteristics of this protection are

that a certain amount of overdrive is allowed but extended

periods of overdrive will trigger protection. If an obvious lack

of high or mid frequencies is noticed, the Loudspeaker

Protection Device may have activated. The protection devices

will automatically reset when the volume control is reduced

significantly and kept low until the output of the affected

Loudspeaker Element returns to normal.

4. When the XRT29 Loudspeaker System is driven by more than

one amplifier, the output levels of the different amplifiers

connected to the Loudspeaker System must be adjusted to

achieve a proper balance between the midrange and high

frequencies reproduced. This adjustment is best achieved

through the use of audio test equipment operated by a

qualified installer.

5. The XRT29 is designed to be used with a Subwoofer, like a

McIntosh PS112, in order to hear the entire audible range of

sound.
