Product Description
The Elipson Heritage XLS7 Speaker is the latest addition to the Heritage range. It is priced at half that of its partners in the range. Moreover, it is smaller and will fit with any décor. This retro-designed bookshelf speaker is a two-way design with an adjustable crossover.
The power handling is 90 Watts and the frequency response is 49 Hz to 25 kHz. Notably, the diminutive size does not reduce the performance. The sound is rich and engaging.
165mm bass/midrange driver and 22mm tweeter.
The bass/midrange driver in the Elipson Heritage XLS7 Speaker is a 165mm unit with a cellulose pulp cone. There is also a front-firing bass port. As a result, the speaker can be placed close to a wall without booming. Next, the tweeter is a 22mm unit with a twin magnet. Lastly, there is a front-mounted control that can be used to adjust the mid and high frequencies.
A quality crossover
The crossover in the Elipson Heritage XLS7 Speaker is unusual in that it is adjustable. Normally with two-way speakers. There is just a high pass filter that cuts off the bass frequencies. This band is then fed to the tweeter. However, with the Elipson Heritage XLS7 Speaker, the mid-range can be reduced by up to 12dB while the treble can be boosted by 2 dB.
Crossovers are made up of capacitors and inductors and the capacitors need to be of a high quality to avoid drifting in value. They also need to have a long life as modern polypropylene types do.
Why a bass port?
Small speakers can suffer from a lack of bass. As a result, they usually have some from of bass port. Studio monitors are often sealed boxes and are renowned for their accuracy.
Consequently, they are often used in studios. However, in a domestic environment, more bass is needed. A front-firing port is preferred as it allows the speakers to be placed close to a wall without booming.
