Technical Presentation - XTZ Master M2 Owner's Manual

TECHNICAL PRESENTATION

CABINET DESIGN
Master M2 is constructed using a non-resonant, high-density and unique new
material, with 40% higher density compared to MDF. Cross bracing is added to
further reduce cabinet resonance. Main ingredients of this unique material are
Epoxy, Polyurethane, Potassium carbonate and organic bubble.
The M2 cabinet offers outstanding stability and extremely reduced cabinet res-
onance .
The cabinet is built using a narrow front - not only an aesthetically neat shape,
but also an advantage from an acoustic point of view, as it provides a stable con-
struction with non parallel walls to keep inner reflections and standing waves
to a minimum.
TWEETER DRIVER
We choose a high performance, 30 mm soft dome tweeter that works perfect-
ly for demanding high frequency audio applications.
The low resonance frequency and high power handling makes this dome the
ideal tweeter for 2-way speakers, where standard tweeters will not do.
The usage of dual neodymium magnets as power house ensures an almost
perfect magnetic screening for demanding applications.
The low distortion and the smooth and extended frequency response combine
extreme details and dynamics into making this dome perfectly match the mid-
woofer .
WAVEGUIDE TECHNOLOGY
To further optimize this tweeter we use a waveguide that not only increases
sensitivity and lowers distortion . The perfectly matched waveguide is optimized
to offer a perfect dispersion pattern all over the high frequency range.
It has been developed to achieve the perfect balance between optimal energy
dispersion, optimized crossover point and best high frequency performance.
The best possible compromise between spreading/efficiency/distortion. This
makes adapting the speaker to various listening rooms very easy.
WOOFER/MIDRANGE DRIVER
The mid/woofer driver is a development cooperation between SEAS and XTZ.
This drivers is basically a further step ahead, based on one of the world's most
successful high-end midwoofers, the famous Seas Excel line. Seas 60 years of
experience plus XTZ experience supports this driver.
The new Curv cone, a woven polypropylene cone with excellent internal
damping together with perfectly matched moving parts guarantees a smooth
and extended frequency response with lowest distortions up to the higher
midrange.
Curv® is the world's first self- reinforced 100% polypropylene composite offer-
ing extraordinary levels of impact resistance, light weight and high stiffness.
Curv® is a novel material made from Polypropylene that combines the versa-
tility of a 100% thermoplastic with the high performance of a fiber reinforced
composite. High stiffness, high tensile strength and outstanding impact resis-
tance at low density are the remarkable properties of this material.
We combines the Curv cone with a special, natural rubber surround reducing
suspension and edge resonances to th minimum.
