Why Choose This Product?
The NXL-XDT/BK is designed for high-frequency output, not as a full-range speaker. Its horn, diaphragm, and voice coil are specified for a 1kHz–20kHz range, helping you assess how it fits into your system before choosing amplification and crossover settings.
The matte-black tower pairs its marine-ready enclosure with RGB accents, bringing sound and lighting together in one tower-mounted unit.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Check that your tower tubing measures between 1 and 2 inches before installation. The adjustable die-cast clamps rotate through 360 degrees, and pads, stainless mounting hardware, and a safety rope are included.
Plan amplification and crossover settings for a high-frequency driver. The recommended high-pass crossover is 1.5kHz; the LED-BTC lighting controller is sold separately.
