Important Information  
Introduction  
Caution: The XLS360 Loudspeaker weight is 107 pounds  
(48.5kg) net. It requires two or more persons to handle  
safely.  
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:  
The McIntosh XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350  
Loudspeaker Systems are designed for Home Theater and  
Music Reproduction. Many of today’s Loudspeakers are  
designed only for Home Theater applications, not so with  
these Loudspeaker Systems. They are also designed for the  
accurate reproduction of music.  
Motion picture sound effects, explosions, screams, and  
vehicle crashes require a wide dynamic range and high  
sound levels. These sounds are such that a speaker system  
having moderate distortion would reproduce them with  
little audible difference. This is not true with the reproduc-  
tion of music. Music is by nature and definition harmoni-  
ous. To reproduce it accurately, all forms of distortion, both  
harmonic and intermodulation, must be kept to a minimum.  
This has been the result of the design of the new McIntosh  
XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 Loudspeaker  
Systems. Each loudspeaker element and crossover compo-  
nent has been carefully designed for low distortion, dura-  
bility and efficiency. The McIntosh XLS320, XLS340,  
XLS360 and XCS350 Loudspeaker System will reproduce  
music accurately and function as an excellent Home The-  
ater Loudspeaker.  
The XLS320 is a two-way system with a 6-1/2 inch LD/  
HP1 woofer/midrange driver and five 1 inch dome tweeters  
in a Bessel Function Array. The XLS340 is a three-way  
system consisting of two 8 inch LD/HP woofers, one 6-1/2  
inch LD/HP midrange driver and five 1 inch dome tweeters  
in a Bessel Function Array. The XLS360 is also a three-  
way system with two 10 inch LD/HP woofers, one 6-1/2  
inch LD/HP midrange driver and five 1 inch dome tweeters  
in a Bessel Function Array. The XCS350 Center Channel  
Loudspeaker utilizes two 8 inch LD/HP woofers, one 6-1/2  
inch LD/HP midrange driver and five 1 inch dome tweeters  
in a Bessel Function Array.  
If the Loudspeaker Cables are 25 feet (7.62m) or less, use at  
least 16 Gauge (AWG) wire size or larger.  
If the Loudspeaker Cables are 50 feet (15.24m) or less, use at  
least 14 Gauge (AWG) wire size or larger.  
If the Loudspeaker Cables are 100 feet (30.48m) 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 owners  
manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the XLS320,  
XLS340, XLS360 or XCS350 Loudspeaker.  
3. The XLS and XCS Loudspeaker Systems have built-in  
automatic resetting solid-state devices in the crossover  
networks for protection. The protection allows a certain  
amount of overdrive, however extended periods of overdrive  
will trigger protection. If an obvious lack of high, mid or low  
frequencies is noticed, the Protection Device may have  
activated. These devices will automatically reset when the  
volume level is reduced significantly and kept low until the  
output of the affected Loudspeaker Element returns to normal.  
4. When the XLS340, XLS360 or XCS350 Loudspeaker Systems  
are 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  
low, midrange/high frequencies reproduced. This adjustment  
is best achieved through the use of audio test equipment  
operated by a qualified installer.  
The XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 Loud-  
speaker performance is designed to complement the capa-  
bilities of McIntosh’s legendary line of Preamplifiers/Con-  
trol Centers, Signal Sources Devices and Power Amplifi-  
ers, without imparting distortion or coloration.

Important Information, Connector Information, Introduction and Performance Features  
Performance Features  
Patented LD/HP Technology  
High Power Handling  
The McIntosh Low Frequency and Midrange Loudspeaker  
Elements feature the patented LD/HP motor structure. This  
design, when compared to conventional Loudspeaker  
Elements, reduces distortion significantly. It also increases  
power handling and efficiency.  
The Loudspeaker Elements and crossover components of  
the XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 are all chosen  
for use with powerful amplifiers up to 600 watts.  
High Efficiency  
The Loudspeaker Elements used in the XLS320, XLS340,  
XLS360 and XCS350 Loudspeaker Systems have also  
been designed for high efficiency. As a result any McIntosh  
Power Amplifier, even our smallest, will provide satisfying  
room filling sound.  
Five Tweeter Bessel Function Array  
The XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 utilizes five  
tweeters connected to produce a Bessel Function Array.  
The individual tweeter amplitudes and phase relationships  
are adjusted so the array acts as a high frequency point  
source. One advantage of such an arrangement is a very  
smooth and even acoustic polar response. This allows the  
listener to move off axis without suffering a change in high  
frequency output. The use of multiple tweeters, combined  
with a mechanical heat sink, also provides greatly  
Automatic Overload Protection  
The XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 have built-in  
Loudspeaker Element Protection in the form of automatic  
resetting solid-state devices as a part of the crossover net-  
work.  
increased power handling at high frequencies.  
Gold Plated Input Connectors  
Mirror Image Phasing High Frequency Array  
The XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 input  
connectors are gold plated for superior corrosion resistance  
and high electrical conductivity.  
The five tweeter Bessel Function Array utilizes a unique  
circuit design permitting the optimization of high  
frequency dispersion for Mirror Imaging. This allows for  
Loudspeaker placement in a room as the Left Channel,  
Center Channel or Right Channel for use in a multi-  
channel system.  
Rigid Column Structure  
The enclosures are an important part of the XLS320,  
XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 Loudspeaker Systems. The  
Systems utilize a dampened rigid enclosure made from ex-  
truded aluminum and houses the Loudspeaker Drivers and  
Crossover. The XLS340 and XLS360 Columns, due to  
their height, have additional front to back internal bracing  
to form a dampened rigid Column Structure. The Column’s  
small footprint allows for a variety of different placements  
in a room.  
Shielded Magnetic Field  
The XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 may be used  
in Home Theater Installations near a television receiver or  
monitor without causing the television image to degrade.  
McIntosh has designed special shielding around the  
magnetic structure of the XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and  
XCS350 Loudspeaker Elements to prevent interference.  
Special Crossover Network  
The Crossover Networks used in the XLS320, XLS340,  
XLS360 and XCS350 Loudspeaker Systems are designed  
to ensure an even frequency response over the entire au-  
dible range. The Network utilizes First, Second and Third  
Order design for optimal response.

How to Mount the XLS320 Loudspeaker On the Wall  
The supplied On Wall Mounting Brackets allow for two  
different mounting positions of the XLS320 Loudspeaker  
relative to the wall. The first position is flush mount, with  
the Loudspeaker close to and parallel with the wall. The  
second position is angle mount, which places the Loud-  
speaker further away from the wall and allows for horizon-  
tal rotation of ± 30 Degrees. Refer to figure 13.

Locating the Loudspeaker System  
Loudspeaker placement in a room can greatly affect  
performance. The XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350  
are designed for use as a Left and Right Loudspeaker in a  
Music System, or as a Front and Surround Loudspeakers in  
a Home Theater System.  
The optimal method for selecting speaker locations in-  
cludes the use of a real time spectrum analyzer operated by  
the Professionals at your McIntosh Dealer. An uncompro-  
mising installation would take into consideration the floor,  
wall and ceiling coverings, the type and placement of furni-  
ture and can even include the architectural design of the  
room and its construction materials.  
Locating Loudspeakers for use in Home Theater  
In a Home Theater application, the placement of Front  
Loudspeakers can be limited by such considerations as the  
size and location of the video monitor. The locating  
suggestions in the “for use in a Music System” section  
below can still be helpful. Side Surround Loudspeakers  
work best located to either side of and above the listening  
position, the same distance from the monitor. Back  
Surround Loudspeakers work best on the back wall. Refer  
to figure 35.  
Figure 35  
Locating Loudspeakers for use in a Music System  
When used in a Music System, the distance between the  
loudspeakers should not exceed the distance between the  
listener and either loudspeaker for the best sound imaging.  
Refer to figure 36. The Loudspeaker System’s Tweeter  
Array should be inline with the listeners’ ears. Placement  
near a wall, corner, floor, ceiling or any intersecting  
surfaces will reinforce some bass frequencies. Which bass  
frequencies are boosted by placement in a particular  
location is dependent on the dimensions of the room. Test  
the various loudspeaker locations by playing music with  
continuous bass, setting up the speakers and listening to  
them from the main listening spot. Move the loudspeakers  
to an alternate location and repeat the listening, paying  
attention to how articulate the bass notes are. Experiment  
with various loudspeaker positions until the locations that  
sound best are found.

Tweeter Array Optimization  
The XLS320, XLS340, XLS360 and XCS350 Loudspeaker  
Systems incorporate a special feature in the Crossover  
Network for optimization of the sound coming from the  
five tweeter array, refer to figure 37. The three different  
settings in the  
crossover network  
have to do with the  
physical location of
