MJ Acoustics

THE XENO SYSTEM

First thing is to explain how to pronounce the name:-
To be honest we don’t care how you pronounce it just as long as you love them! But we say:-
ZEE KNOW!

Having spent many years perfecting the bass frequency range, the MJ design team were given the task of developing a matched affordable speaker system that can reproduce true audiophile registers accurately, whilst providing an open sound stage and fast transient dynamics throughout the full frequency range. The lower registers reaching down below 45Hz can be taken care of by MJ’s highly developed current generation of Subwoofers and the Pro 50Mk2 will be avialable as part of the system, thus forming a perfect match developed by a subwoofer specialist manufacturer.  An interesting twist on the normal approach by our competitors.  We developed the XENO speaker system to match our subwoofers whilst others develop subwoofers to match their speakers.

Apart from the obvious requirement for outstanding audio quality there are some unique touches provided within the XENO design.
1.High Grade crossover using the very best tightly wound coils and superior crossover passive components.
2.Ability to be fed with a full range signal, removing the need to use bass management.
3.Bass driver technology derived from our extensive experience of subwoofer transducer design.
4.Tweeter employing soft dome technology and higher strength magnets, for sweeter higher frequencies.
5.Cabinet finish to match the finest quality of paint finish with super gloss shine and consistent colour depth.
6.Heavy weight dedicated stands designed to offer maximum stability and ease of room positioning.
7.Boundary effect rear ports to enhance the refraction effects from the lower frequencies.
8.Dedicated and vocally accurate centre speaker with twin bass drivers, additional power handling and extended band width.

What do you get in the complete system? 
Two pairs of XM1 speakers which are individually full range with a frequency response of 48Hz — 23kHz  (-3db in room).
One XC1 triple driver centre speaker.
Pro 50Mk2 finished in matching high gloss paint finish .

Each XENO loudspeaker features a critically shaped paper pulp cone mid/bass driver providing transparent and dynamic mid/bass registers. Utilizing technology from our subwoofer drivers we have built into the design an extended cone travel and ultra linear motor assembly to control the bass accurately down to the rated frequency.   The tweeter (treble driver) is a soft textile dome unit with Neodymium magnet, providing complimentary transparent and crisp higher octaves.   These drivers are specifically matched to compliment each other and come fully shielded for Audio Visual use. The system is audibly bound together with the inclusion of a high quality crossover using audiophile matched capacitors and specially wound induction coils to precise specifications.  Additionally each cabinet is hand crafted from high grade MDF which is finished in a luxury high Gloss quality two part paint coating.
Each cabinet is meticulously crafted using a combination of precision CNC machinery and skilled carpenters providing the finishing touches. Constructed from high quality MDF panels which are sprayed with no less than 5 coats of  paint and completed to the finest furniture finish. The result is a stunning piece of architecture that finds itself able to blend in with all living environments.
Each cabinet has been placed in an unwoven soft cloth bag to protect the high gloss finish.  In each carton there are vinyl stickers to place over the threaded holes in the base should you wish to cover these holes and also 4 sticky rubber feet for each cabinet for shelf mounting.  The stickers can be used to cover up the holes that are visible after the wall bracket has been attached.  Not all stickers will be required and they are provided as a means of aesthetic improvement only as the threaded holes are sealed from inside the cabinet already.
