About the XLS112
The McIntosh XLS112 is a powered subwoofer designed for home theater and music reproduction. It uses a front-firing 12-inch LD/HP woofer and a built-in 400-watt sine-wave continuous-power amplifier, with integrated high- and low-pass filters. Its specified frequency response is 35Hz–200Hz (±3dB), and its maximum sound-pressure level is 115dB. The rear-panel low-pass filter is adjustable from 40Hz to 120Hz, rather than fixed at 40Hz. The unit includes balanced and unbalanced inputs, a variable level control, a 5–20V DC Power Control input, and a magnetically shielded driver. The cabinet measures approximately 15 1/8 inches wide, 15 1/2 inches high, and 15 inches deep.
