Waterfall Audio is bringing its Niagara XT range of floorstanding loudspeakers to the booth of its U.S. partner distributor, Selective Design (booth #2647), at this year’s CEDIA Expo. Setting a supremely stylish, new landmark, the Niagara XT series marks a dramatic shift in loudspeaker design and performance for contemporary loudspeakers.
The Niagara XT Series features three brand-new models which all produce a clear, richly detailed and powerful sound. Contained within a unique fully transparent platinum safety glass enclosure (XT2 and XT3: 0.39 inches thick; XT1: 0.24 inches thick), the Niagara XT Series comes alive in natural light, subtly reflecting and refracting sunbeams throughout the day. Custom-built mid/bass Atohm drivers appear as if they are suspended in mid-air and are under-pinned by an ultra-low frequency 8.3-inch passive driver in a down-firing position in the solid, CNC-cut, brushed tapered aluminium base. Waterfall Audio will showcase both Niagara XT1 and XT2 models on the Selective Design booth.
Visitors will also be able to see how the drivers in the Niagara XT series are equipped with JETSTREAM damping technology, developed in house by Waterfall Audio, to maximize performance and ensure the mechanical decoupling of the mid-bass driver from the glass structure. JETSTREAM allows for a deeper and faster bass with a smoother response in the mid and high range, optimized heat dissipation, and better control of the rear wave on the cone.
The Niagara XT1 and XT2 each feature a signature wood horn tweeter. The XT1 (991mm height x 250mm width x 281mm depth/400W output) and larger XT2 (1169mm x 300mm x 346mm/500W output) are available in a Classic version with an oiled beech wood tweeter finish. An Exclusive option is proposed with alternative wood finishes, such as walnut, to suit the particular interior tastes of the client. Offering an infinite variety of colors, textures, grains, the wood is individually selected, paired and matched for each speaker. Other materials could also be chosen to further customize the tweeters of the XT1 and XT2 versions.
Waterfall Audio products are exclusively available to U.S. and Canadian integrators from Selective Design. For more information visit the Selective Design booth #2647 or contact https://selective.design. More details on Waterfall Audio can be found at www.waterfallaudio.com.
