Sony XS-GTR1720 Specification Guide

Experience lifelike sound quality without emptying your wallet with the 

Xplod™ GTR series speakers by Sony.  Running through the integrated 

precision 2-way crossovers, Mica Reinforced Cellular fiber (MRC) woofers 

deliver responsive bass notes while the adjustable angle aluminum tweeters 

let you optimize speaker performance for clear highs.

Two-way design

Instead of conventional two-way speakers,  Sony offers a premium GTR series speaker system that 

delivers smooth frequency response thanks to an integrated 2-way crossover.

Aluminum dome tweeter

The Xplod™ GTR series speakers by Sony use premium materials like aluminum dome tweeters to 

deliver outstanding dispersion and beautifully clear highs.

6.75" MRC fiber woofer

Sony uses Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) fiber for supremely light and extraordinarily rigid woofer 

cones.  MRC woofer cones produce exceptional musical transients that are clear, with little 

distortion compared to traditional cone materials.

Adjustable tweeter positioning

The Xplod™ GTR series speakers by Sony solves tweeter placement issues by providing adjustable 

angle positions to help create a direct path from the tweeter to your ears so you get the best 

high-frequency response.

High Energy Magnets

The Xplod™ GTR series speakers use high energy magnets to cone travel and power handling.  

The midrange woofer uses powerful Ferrite magnet while the aluminum dome tweeter uses rare 

earth, compact Neodymium magnets.

Integrated crossover

Xplod™ GTR series speakers by Sony uses precision crossovers to match to the capabilities of the 

drive units.  The two-way crossover includes high-pass filter (HPF) and low-pass filter (LPF) to ensure 

smooth sound in the mid/high frequencies.

Bi-amp design 

Bi-amp speaker systems use separate power inputs for each component of the 2-way speaker 

system.  This lets you drive the speaker system with dedicated power for the High Pass (HP) and 

Low Pass (LP) portions instead of sharing the power.  

Power handling

With quality construction materials, the XS-GTR1720/1720S speakers by Sony are rated for 75 Watts 

continuous and can handle peak power of 320/350 Watts.
