Overview

1” silk dome waveguide tweeter

Controlled dispersion, effortless clarity

Specially adapted for the Spirit series, the 1" silk dome tweeter is seamlessly integrated with a precision waveguide. This design is fundamental to the tweeter’s performance, precisely shaping its dispersion pattern for a wide and remarkably even listening sweet spot. It increases efficiency, lowers distortion at high output levels, and enables a lower crossover point for smoother integration with the midrange.

Wide, consistent coverage

The waveguide minimizes reflections, expands the sweet spot, and ensures smooth integration with the midrange.

Clear, low-distortion detail

High-performance motor and voice coil deliver transparent highs, even at high SPL.

Advanced engineering and stability

A high-performance motor with ferrofluid cooling ensures reliable output, while the dome’s rigid, damped mount minimizes resonance and protects against damage.

Are These the Best Sub-$500 Bookshelf Speakers?

“They image like absolute champions … the dispersion is vast and the soundstage will just defy the boundaries of the loudspeakers themselves.” - Andrew Robinson

6.5” mid/bass driver

Clear mids, fast transients, and surprising bass

The Spirit 4 uses a custom-developed 6.5” mid/bass driver with long-stroke pulp cones and vented aluminum voice coil. These are tuned for fast transient response, rich midrange, and deep, controlled bass.

Astonishing Bass for its Size

Despite its compact design, Spirit 4 delivers impactful bass with extension down to 42 Hz.

Clean, punchy midbass

The drivers’ stiff pulp sandwich cones reduce breakup and maintain control under high excursion.

Stable performance at high output

High-temp voice coils and robust spiders preserve linearity, even during complex or loud passages.

Sound tuning

Tailor performance to your room

The Spirit 4 includes tuning features to adapt the speaker for different positions and environments.

Tweeter level adjustment

A rear jumper lets you fine-tune the treble to compensate for more reflective or absorptive rooms.

Bass reflex port tuning

Sealable ports allow for tailored low-frequency characteristics, offering flexibility for near-wall or in-cabinet placements.

Crossover

Seamless integration and pure signal path

A precision-tuned crossover ensures time alignment, tonal balance, and smooth transitions between drivers.

Optimized integration

A 2000 Hz crossover with steep slopes -12 dB/octave for mid/bass and 24 dB/octave for the tweeter, ensures clean transitions for a consistent imaging and tonal balance across the listening area

Optimized for Coherence

Ensures seamless, phase-coherent driver integration for a unified and immersive soundstage

High-grade components

High-grade film capacitors and air-core inductors ensure great transparency and low distortion.

Cabinet and finish

Compact footprint, clean output

The Spirit 4’s substantial MDF cabinet is engineered for exceptional rigidity and acoustic inertness -providing a stable, resonance-free platform for the drivers to perform at their best.

Thick, rigid construction

25 mm baffle, 18 mm side panels, and internal bracing ensure low coloration.

Minimized resonance

A significant amount of strategically placed damping material absorbs internal standing waves, ensuring the Spirit 4 reproduces deep bass frequencies with precision and composure.

Premium finish

A perfectly applied multi-layer lacquer, available in matte black or matte white, gives the cabinet a timeless, furniture-grade appearance.

Spirit 4 som centerhögtalare. Fick min vita spirit 4 med svart högtalarskydd. Precis XTZ löste min fråga om att välja en annan färg på front tyget. Inga problem att beställa bara en st heller. XTZ är väldigt kundnära och löser det kunden vill ha.Toppbetyg. Högtalaren i sig är väldigt välgjord och ljudet är extremt prisvärt. Mer finns inte att önska.Tack XTZ
