Because of the new driver handling low and mid frequencies, the XD2 series speakers feature a new, improved crossover design, which—according to the manufacturer—”significantly improves the integration between bass, midrange, and treble.” It is mounted on a large printed circuit board and screwed directly to the terminals on the rear panel. It features a significant number of components, including film capacitors and air-core inductors. The crossover is connected to the drivers via OFC twisted-pair copper cables. They are manufactured for studio and stage use by Van Damme.

The new speakers are based on two drivers: a 25 mm tweeter with an aluminum diaphragm, custom-made by SEAS for Harbeth, and a 200 mm RADIAL4 mid-bass driver produced in-house by this British company. The system is complemented by a 20 mm “SuperTweeter” with a titanium diaphragm, covering only part of the high frequencies. This division is intended to provide a wider dispersion pattern for the upper end of the range.
