Xtant XIS Manual

Xtant Integrated Separates

The Xtant Integrated Separates are designed to easi-

ly work in factory locations as well as custom mounts

and pods. The concentrically mounted drivers have

excellent on or off axis response allowing the user to

explore multiple mounting positions while obtaining

the desired acoustic response. The XIS drivers afford

the listener the ability to customize the system to their

own listening taste by simply choosing a dispersion

module for the tweeter. Please refer to the explana-

tions below when optimizing the system. 

Dispersion Module Option

The Xtant Integrated Separates offer two dispersion

modules for flexibility in mounting position. The small-

er module allows for a wider dispersion of sound

where as the larger option narrows the dispersion

field thereby giving a more direct sound pattern. In

many applications, we have found with door mounted

locations, a wider dispersion pattern works well. In

contrast, a narrower dispersion pattern works well in

direct radiating situations. Both options are provided

to meet your listening needs. Please refer to the dia-

gram on the back when changing the dispersion mod-

ule.

Speaker Protection

Speaker grills are provided for use in protecting the

driver when the Integrated Separates are mounted

somewhere other than the existing factory location.

Mounting the Driver

The most important factor in achieving good acoustic

response is properly mounting the driver. Be sure that

the speaker is mounted to a solid baffle in order to iso-

late the front sound wave from the back sound wave.

This can be achieved by creating a solid, airtight seal

between the speaker and its mount.

Wiring 

It is important to use good quality speaker wire

when installing speakers. Additionally, a tight connec-

tion is very important in speaker installations. A loose

connection can cause a speaker to cut in and out or

become distorted and harsh.

Bi-Amp Capability

If you wish to drive the woofer and tweeter with sep-

arate amplifiers (bi-amp), you must bypass the built on

crossover. To do this, remove the wires connecting the

(-) woofer terminal to the (-) tweeter terminal, and

remove the capacitor between the (+) woofer terminal

and the (+) tweeter terminal. The end result will be

separate connections for woofer and tweeter. You

must send a signal that is crossed over directly to the

woofer and tweeter connections on the driver. If

you’re using an Xtant amplifier either the on board

crossover or a crossover module will provide this sig-

nal. Be sure to refer to the frequency response for the

specific driver when choosing your crossover points.
