With the new XA Towers, directivity down to 100Hz. Twin 10-inch (250mm) powered Snell engineers have created a five-element array with virtually subwoofer with 300-watt amplifier. The amplifier includes a no change in response through ± 15 degrees vertically, yet a parametric equalizer for the ultimate in environment tunability. - Page 5 XA 75 XA 55 High-performance floor-standing system Full-range music- and movie-quality center channel Special three-element XA for controlled directivity to 400Hz. 10- The XA 55 center channel is tuned to precisely match the tonal inch (250mm) powered subwoofer with level and corner shape balance of the XA Towers for seamless five-channel movie or switches for room and program optimization.

“squishy” neoprene middle layer, and a medium-density inner layer that attaches to the cabinet. Radiused-Edge Baffle The elliptical radius on our baffle edge reduces re-radiation for a cleaner and smoother response—especially off-axis. Snell pioneered this technique in the original Type A speaker system in 1976. - Page 7 Placement Switch This switch “normalizes” the speaker if it is placed in a cabi- net or next to a large object, like a big-screen TV. This Snell feature assures the proper balance of your speaker in less than ideal placements.
