• X-Balanced Speaker Unit
  Developed by Sony, the X-Balanced Speaker Unit achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience.
  • What is the X-Balanced Speaker Unit?
    Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB33 features a non-circular diaphragm.
  • Increasing sound pressure and reducing distortion
    The unit's non-circular shape not only maximizes the area of speaker diaphragm, increasing sound pressure for more punchy bass—it also reduces driver excursion while maintaining the same sound pressure, resulting in less distortion.
  • Greater clarity and a wider sound stage
    In addition, the unit's off-center design and optimized weight balance help to enhance clarity and widen the sound stage.
  • Mica Reinforced Cellular speaker cone and dust cap
    The rigid and lightweight Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) speaker cone and dust cap contributes to the sound quality.
  • Side passive radiators
    The layout of the side passive radiators has been optimized to reproduce clear bass sound.
• Hear it like it’s live
