The XB-7 cabinet is a compact, dual baffle board 7 driver device. Like all loudspeaker systems, this engineered and tuned enclosure should be thought of as an acoustic antenna. It's entire purpose is to convert your amplifiers electrical energy into good vibrations!
These cabinets measure 31 inches wide, 22 inches tall not including feet or casters and 13 inches deep. They weigh in at 75 pounds, give or take depending on options. They fit the back seat of a standard 4 door car.
The name of the game here is efficiency and response. The XB-7s are phenomenal performers in the studio but were designed primarily with stage use in mind. Their off axis response and near field and long throw performance is superb.
They utilize (2) 12 inch radiators, (3) 10 inch drivers and (2) 6.5 inch sealed back midbass/midrange drivers and an extremely efficient and simple crossover network. There is absolutely no need to spend copious amounts of time and energy developing great harmonically rich tone from your bass rig to have a precision, high fidelity crossover remove all your glorious imperfections!
The infinite tuning made available by the 2 rear mounted 12 inch long throw radiators gives this cabinet an extremely low and effective usable response curve. It is truly capable of subsonic performance. Adding this capability to the very natural and organic mid and lower mid content really produces a winning combination. You can navigate all the way around the cabinet and not experience a tonal shift. Near or far you can hear the same animal.
While this cabinet is of the tuned design, it is also a sealed design. This combines the attractive characteristics of both.
The form factor was designed to accommodate the abilities of a 350watt vacuum tube bass amplifier and deliver performance exceeding that of the vintage 8x10 cabinets not only in practical power but frequency response.
These cabs pack a punch!
