XTZ Cinema S2 Atmosphere

 6 REVIEWS

Tuned to match the rest of the Cinema Series the Cinema S2 Atmosphere is designed to deliver precise immersive sound for todays 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos DTS:X and Auro-3D. Although developed as a height channel speaker its compact form factor and impressive output also make it an excellent choice as a surround speaker in demanding room setups where space is limited and larger models like the S5 wont fit.

An angled baffle and coaxial point-source driver ensure wide consistent dispersion with pinpoint imaging whether mounted on a ceiling on a wall or directly on top of a Cinema M6. With its natural tone seamless integration and installation flexibility the S2 brings cinematic realism to any seat in the room.

Overview

Coaxial Driver Design

Point-source accuracy for a seamless sound field

The Cinema S2 uses a 2-way coaxial array with a 5.25" long-fiber pulp woofer and a 15 mm silk-dome tweeter mounted concentrically. This point-source layout minimizes group delay and off-axis coloration, making it ideal for 3D audio formats that require precise localization and consistent coverage.

Point-source dispersion

Precise 3D audio imaging with minimal group delay and wide, uniform off-axis response.

Coated pulp woofer cone

The long-fiber paper cone balances low mass and rigidity for accurate transient reproduction.

Silk-dome tweeter with polymer waveguide

Delivers wide dispersion and smooth woofer integration for consistent sound and imaging across multiple seats.

Versatile Placement & Use

Ceiling, wall, elevation, or surround

The Cinema S2 Atmosphere is designed for flexibility. Whether used as a height channel in immersive 3D formats, a rear or side surround, or even placed on a shelf or TV bench, it delivers consistent performance and clear, immersive sound.

Designed for immersive formats

Purpose-built for Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D height and surround use.

Multiple mounting orientations

You can mount it on top of Cinema M6 as an elevation speaker, in a ceiling (angled inward or downward) or on the wall (angled inward or outward) for surround or front height use.

Symmetrical cabinet and angled baffle

Allows mirrored left/right placement for optimal coverage.

Compact size with dense cabinet

Fits easily into tight spaces while maintaining clarity at high output.

Crossover

Precision control for point-source accuracy

The Cinema S2 uses a 4000 Hz crossover tailored to its coaxial design. It leverages the woofer’s waveguide to improve off-axis consistency and ensure smooth, phase-coherent transitions for precise spatial cues.

4000 Hz crossover point

Aligns with the woofer’s waveguide behavior for smooth transitions and stable imaging.

Driver-matched filter slopes

12 dB/oct for both woofer and tweeter to preserve phase accuracy.

High-quality passive components

Air-core and steel-core coils, MKP capacitors, and low-induction resistors for clean, reliable performance.

Thick HDF Cabinet

Compact size, cinematic precision

The S2 uses a sealed, trapezoidal cabinet built from rigid HDF to reduce resonances and improve clarity. The angled front baffle directs sound toward the listener, ideal for mounting on walls or ceilings.

Dense HDF enclosure

Reduces vibration and internal standing waves.

Angled front baffle

Optimizes on-axis response for ceiling, wall, or upward-firing use.

8-layer matte black anti-reflective finish

Blends into dark theater rooms and avoids visual distractions.

Mounting Options

Secure, low-profile wall mounting

The S2 supports three mounting options via threaded inserts on its back and underside. Compatible with the optional Cinema Flushmount Kit, VESA 75 adapters, and the S2/M6 Stacked Mount Bracket.

Threaded inserts

Supports vertical, horizontal, and stacked installations.

Flushmount Kit compatible

Enables tight wall or ceiling fit with 15 mm cable clearance.

Stackable on Cinema M6

Stack securely using bracket and screws to create a compact upward-firing solution.

"You can probably tell Im in love with this system. If you think Ive got carried away I can only suggest you have a listen yourself. At this price few speakers emulate the feeling of sonic immersion quite like the XTZ. The additional Atmosphere speakers make the array a good match for modern setup. 5.1 fans shouldnt ignore the core models either. We say: A superior-sounding movie-mad speaker system offering seriious value for money. Plenty of installation flexibility and solid construction. Not the prettiest of cabinets.- Danny Phillips"

I got tired of getting entangled in the headphone cables when listening to music. I was very happy with the performance of the xtz mh-800 amplifier speaker setup so I decided to try their headphones as well. I have used my xtz devine with bluetooth and sony Z4 tablet listening to music and watching game of thrones and the connection has worked flawlessly even when walking around in the room a few meters from the tablet. The battery life has been good and the charging quick. The fit of the headset is excellent most headsets feel comfortable for a short while but this headset stays comfortable hour after hour. I really like that they are semi closed they shut some ambient sound out but do not completely put you in a sound bubble which I find uncomfortable. From a functional point of view they have been close to perfect. I have not seen how to replace the batteries when they have lost recharging capacity if they cannot be replaced this is my only complaint regarding design. Reviewing sound is very subjective without a reference sound source and headphones. Overall I am very happy with the sound far better than any headset I have previously owned like sennheiser 212 pro or beyerdynamic-mmx-101-ie but of course not comparable to quality standalone speakers. The dirac software using the divine filter on the PC using cable produced an even clearer sound that was noticeable clearer. There is no android app at the moment and this is a shame particularly since there is one for ios.

I took 2 pairs of S2 to be used in a home cinema setup. Overall I am pretty satisfied at the beginning I used them with a mini hi-fi stereo and now they are placed as height speakers in the home theater. I think they integrate well with the rest of the system (the setup is a 9.1 Left Right Center and Sub are DIY projects and there is a couple of B&W 685 as surround left and right). Ive used them with Dolby Atmos (original material and upmixer) Auro-3D (original material and upmixer) and DTS-X (upmixer only) with good results. They are well built and nice to look at

It took me quite a long time and lots of testing before I decided whhich speakers my new home cinema shall be equipped with. Finally I decided for XTZs cinema series (3 x M6 2 x S5 2 x 1X12 4 x S2). For me this is a perfect blend of price / performance and compromise in film and music. The M6 provide a great front with absolutely clear and clean voices. One cannot hear where the speakers are standing since they create a really good soundstage. The surround is done by the S5 which really do a great job in creating the feeling that you are part of the movie. One really feels completely surrounded. I use them in the Dipole 3X mode. Its a bit sad that there is only so few native 3D sound sources out there. The S2 do a great job even when the sound is only upscaled but I guess they can do much more than they have to do right now. With the 2 1X12 the bass is really accurate and precise. They play really deep and can play very loud if necessary. That is pure fun :D. Thanks to you guys for that great system!

I have bought a pair of S2 Atmosphere and Im really happy with the result i got in my dedicated home cinema. They play very neutral and required surprisingly little EQ to hit the target in relation to my fronts and surrounds. Although structurally somewhat different than my Klipsch speakers they manage to melt seamlessly into the soundstage. This was one of my main concerns as i currently have a Klipsch THX Ultra2 system but it was fortunately no problem. Ive seen some video clips at reference volume and I could not push them to distortion or clipping so after my initial tests I would describe it as a competent THX atmos speaker. There is a right and left hand so that they point slightly toward the listener when hung from the ceiling. The acquired flushmount bracket made installation very easy. At first i thought they were a little expensive but compared alternative universal mount the price is pretty close and these fit perfectly and support the speaker with rubber to avoid scratches on the speaker. They are REALLY well packed down and it gives almost the same feeling to package them like when you open an apple product The paint is really nice matte black are matching my Klipsch KS-525 surrounds very well. Speaker covers are mounted with magnets as seen on B & W speakers and you choose where you want to place XTZ Cinema logo. Really nice for buyers like me who have a different brand - i just leave them off to match the rest of the setup. Both the speakers and covers are packed in nice fabric bags and they come with set of white gloves to avoid getting them greased up. You really get the feeling that you are dealing with a premium product. The terminals are recessed into the cabinet and there is a slot to guide the cables freely to the terminals when mounted to the ceiling or wall- well thought out. The only small detail that I will point out is that they are designed to stand on XTZs Cinema M6 front speakers. Therefore there are some additional threaded holes which can be seen when installed in the ceiling and it pulls down a bit on the otherwise attractive finish and design. To conclude i find it a very nice competent and neutral atmos speaker that I am can to recommend everyone who are looking to expand the system to atmos at an affordable price without sacrificing sound quality or finish.
