McIntosh LS360
At just more than four feet tall, the magnificent LS360 is the flagship of the Academy Series. Like the CS350, its five tweeters are wired to produce a Bessel Function array. The individual tweeter amplitudes and phase relationships are adjusted so that the array acts as a high frequency point source with a broad dispersion pattern. In addition, the array greatly increases power handling for high frequencies. Two 10-inch LD/HP® woofers and an 8-inch LD/HP ® midrange round out the driver complement. This two bass ports are flared at both ends to form a natural horn and minimize air noise. The tweeters are mounted on traditional McIntosh screened black glass. Natural Cherry, red Cherry, and Black Ash finishes. Exotic woods and finishes available by special order (Piano Black).
The new McIntosh loudspeaker line results from the most ambitious speaker development project in McIntosh history. Never have McIntosh speakers and electronics enjoyed such harmony of quality, performance, and purpose.
With the McIntosh loudspeakers, from the very beginning these models have been designed for low-distortion performance, thanks to patented LD/HP® drivers and unique arched bridge truss cabinet construction. Music benefits from smooth, extended response without the coloration and fuzzy imaging caused by driver distortion and cabinet vibrations. Movie sound benefits from high power handling and fast, clean dynamic response, from the high-output LD/HP drivers.
McIntosh speakers are a true family, sharing a common tonal quality that allows for great configuration flexibility. Virtually any combination of speakers can be used in multichannel applications. High-end loudspeaker in particular are often characterized by just one aspect of their performance. It could be bass response, treble transparency, depth of image, cosmetic appearance, or even price. In all of its products, however, McIntosh seeks balance, and so is the case with speakers. McIntosh speakers certainly have an extremely smooth and broad frequency response, and they do “measure” well in front of a microphone and spectrum analyzer. But in the final analysis, they are distinguished by their sheer musicality, which can only be measured by listening.
LD/HP® Drivers
In LD/HP driver, a pair of aluminum shorting sleeves makes the magnetic field more symmetrical and reduces distortion. The sleeves also lower the impedance of the voice coil, permitting greater current flow and hence higher output levels.
