During CEDIA Expo 2024 last month, Waterfall Audio showcased its Niagara XT range of floor-standing loudspeakers, which feature three brand-new models.
Encased within a unique fully transparent platinum safety glass enclosure (XT2 and XT3: 0.39 inches thick; XT1: 0.24 inches thick), the Niagara XT Series comes alive in natural light, subtly reflecting and refracting sunbeams throughout the day. Custom-built mid/bass Atohm drivers appear as if they are suspended in mid-air and are underpinned by an ultra-low frequency 8.3-inch passive driver in a down-firing position in the solid, CNC-cut, brushed tapered aluminum base.
The drivers in the Niagara XT series are equipped with JETSTREAM damping technology, developed in-house by Waterfall Audio, to maximize performance and ensure the mechanical decoupling of the mid-bass driver from the glass structure. JETSTREAM allows for deeper and faster bass with a smoother response in the mid and high range, optimised heat dissipation and superb control of the rear wave on the cone.
The Niagara XT1 and XT2 each feature a signature wood horn tweeter. The XT1 (991mm height x 250mm width x 281mm depth/400w output) and larger XT2 (1169mm x 300mm x 346mm/500w output) are available in a Classic version with an oiled beech wood tweeter finish. An exclusive option is proposed with alternative wood finishes, such as walnut, to suit the particular interior tastes of the client. Offering an infinite variety of colors, textures, and grains, the wood is individually selected, paired, and matched for each speaker. Other materials could also be chosen to further customize the tweeters of the XT1 and XT2 versions.
