The end result is natural, studio monitor level sound quality, ideal for proximity use and perfectly matching semi-reverberant environments. Multi-purpose in their format, MTDs and XTs are all-in-one products that can be used as a compact FOH system (with or without subwoofer), fill enclosure or high performance stage monitor. The MTD range now includes MTD108a, MTD112b, MTD115b, each respectively containing one 8" x 1", one 12" x 1.4" and one 15" x 1.4" coaxial driver assembly. All MTDb models are provided in a passive version and are fully compatible with former MTD models. They are intended for use with their respective updated LLC analog controllers, offering optimum system EQ and sense return protection.
The XT range introduces two new products, the 112XT and 115XT, each respectively containing one 12" x 1.4" and one 15" x 1.4" coaxial driver assembly. Intended for touring or fixed installation, the XT line marks a new long-lasting high performance standard with advanced components and rigging accessories as well as flexibility of digital processing.
The company has also released the new SB118 companion subwoofer for the MTD and XT loudspeaker lines. Featuring a single 18" transducer loaded in a dual vented band-pass configuration, the SB118 is the answer for applications requiring exceptional low-end impact from a highly compact, low profile enclosure. Available as of November 2002, the optimally-reduced dimensions of the SB118 will also allow for the creation of compact-sized subwoofer arrays with optimized coupling and minimum footprint.
