Hex tweeter midrange array
At the heart of the Cinema M8 is a custom-developed Hex Tweeter Array, consisting of six 1" silk dome tweeters. Five are optimized for the critical midrange region, and one handles treble extension. This layout delivers high output, low distortion, and controlled dispersion that supports immersive, room filling sound.
Smooth mid to treble transitions
The array spans 950 Hz to 30,000 Hz, with five tweeters handling the midrange. This ensures smooth, detailed reproduction through the most sensitive band of human hearing.
Focused sound with less reflection
Narrow dispersion reduces unwanted reflections from floors, ceilings, and walls. This improves clarity in acoustically reflective spaces.
Pinpoint imaging
Tightly spaced, identical tweeters behave like a single coherent source, preserving timing and spatial accuracy for lifelike placement of voices and effects.
Even sound across the room
Maintains consistent tonal balance across a ±30° horizontal angle, ensuring everyone hears the same detailed sound.
Fast, dynamic response
Ultra light silk diaphragms respond faster to transients than traditional midrange drivers, improving clarity and articulation.
High output, low distortion
With six tweeters sharing the load, each operates efficiently within its range, enabling louder playback with reduced distortion.
The Cinema M8 uses two 8" drivers in a D'Appolito (MTM) configuration. Built from long fiber pulp and engineered for linearity and output, they deliver physical, controlled bass down to 49 Hz.
Extended bass support
Reaches down to 49 Hz with control and low distortion, delivering impressive bass performance even without a subwoofer in smaller rooms.
D'Appolito (MTM) configuration
Enhances vertical dispersion and reduces floor and ceiling reflections.
Low crossover point to tweeter array
The low 950 Hz crossover to the tweeter array ensures all drivers operate within their optimal range for better clarity. This allows smooth, phase accurate transitions with reduced off axis coloration.
The rear panel includes a three step treble switch for fine tuning high frequency response. Adjust tonal balance to match your space and preferences.
Treble control (-2 dB / 0 dB / +2 dB)
Adjust high frequency output to match room acoustics or preferences.
A precisely tuned 3 way crossover ensures seamless transitions, low distortion, and reliable performance. Carefully selected filter slopes keep each driver operating within its optimal range: 12 dB/oct for the woofer, 18 dB/oct low pass and high pass for the midrange tweeters, and 18 dB/oct low pass for the high frequency tweeter. Premium components are used throughout to ensure clean signal transfer and long term durability.
3 way crossover (950 Hz / 2500 Hz)
Maintains coherence and dispersion throughout the range.
Custom filter slopes per driver
12 dB for woofer and 18 dB for both midrange and tweeter. This minimizes overlap and preserves clarity.
Premium passive components
Air core and steel core coils, MKP capacitors and low induction resistors provide stability and long term reliability.
The cabinet uses thick High Density Fiberboard (HDF) and internal bracing for rigidity and low resonance. Its trapezoidal form reduces internal standing waves, and a low reflection matte finish blends discreetly into dark rooms.
Rigid HDF with internal bracing
Minimizes resonance and structural vibration.
Trapezoidal design with 7.5 angled baffle
Reduces standing waves and angles sound toward the listening area.
Matte black, low reflective finish
Eight layers of anti reflective coating reduce visual distraction in dark rooms.
Magnetic grille
Attaches without visible mounts for a clean, unbroken front baffle
An optional Flushmount Kit enables vertical or horizontal on wall installation. A machined steel back plate and wall bracket ensure a flush fit with integrated cable routing.
Rigid Steel Wall Mount
Designed for secure wall-mounting with a slim fit for a streamlined appearance.
Flexible orientation
Fits both horizontal and vertical orientation for different installation needs.
15 mm cable clearance
A 15 mm clearance simplifies integration without visible clutter.
"In our test cinema the XTZ set was able to implement 100 percent of its laboratory-determined advantages and played at a particularly high level. The perfect tonality of the entire set and its balanced dispersion characteristics which forms the basis for precise spatiality really appealed to us. Even acoustically very complex scenes from films like Lone Survivor or Edge of Tomorrow were solved wonderfully by the Cinema-M8-Set and left dialogues crystal clear above everything else without dissecting the whole picture or even destroying it.- Michael Voigt"
"The XTZ set masters the art of playing both super-detailed and extremely loud which is not possible with many affordable systems.- Thomas Odeltorp"
"The developers at XTZ know their compatriots - no wonder the XTZ Cinema series offers so much power dynamics and the proverbial bang for a buck.- Raphael Vogt+ Very neutral balanced sound+ Extreme dynamic reserves+ Ingenious subwoofer+ Flexibly combinable"
"The M8 Tower and M8 Center with the eye-catching 6-channel array of tweeters provide an ideal dispersion with ultra-low distortion. Combined with the S5 dipols and powerful SUB1X12 subwoofer the XTZ Cinema set is a real eye-catcher for rousing home theater sound at the highest level. + THX-Ultra licensed+ strong high-tonal array+ enormous dynamics"
