everything else.
7 drawers. Each opens in place, so nothing leaves the page.
The chassis is the heatsink.
6061-T6 aerospace aluminium machined to heatsink geometry, so the chassis itself works as the heatsink for the output stage, with a fan moving air across it. Every fastener is hidden.
Loudness that follows the volume.
ISO 226 equal-loudness compensation scaled to programme level, with harmonic synthesis that extends the perceived low end about an octave. It is not room correction.
From the seat, not the rack.
Sit where the room will be listened to, open Studio on a Mac, iPhone or iPad, and the Xylem 3 appears on the network. Every crossover, delay, EQ band and limiter is edited there, live, with the music running — you hear the change from the chair it was made for, not from behind the amplifier. Calibrate by hand with the eleven-instrument toolkit, or let X-Sense EQ measure the room and write the correction for you.
Wire up a Cane, a Bonsai, a QuadCane — the Xylem 3 lists an XSCACE factory preset for every speaker model, crossover, EQ and limiter threshold included. Load it and the system is playing correctly before anything has been measured. Tune further, then save the result under your own name; the next identical zone starts from it.
Microphone at the seat, one or three positions, a room profile, Start. X-Sense sweeps the room, fits corrective EQ to the profile and writes it to the Xylem 3 live — then measures again and overlays before, target and after, so the correction is proven rather than promised. It tunes the Xylem and the Root 4 the same way.
Found on the LAN. No USB, no laptop on a ladder.
Per channel, matched across a multi-amp system.
Six parametric bands per channel, run as biquads on the ADAU1701.
Frequency, slope and alignment in software — DSP-active, nothing passive in the path.
Per channel, so a driver is protected by the amplifier driving it.
RT60, delay, levels, polarity and SPL from a measurement microphone.
Adjust against the music already playing. What you change is what you hear.
Guided room correction: sweeps from up to three listening positions, corrective EQ fitted to a chosen sound profile, then a verification pass that overlays before, target and after.
Written to the amplifier. The configuration survives the power, not the laptop.

Six connections and nothing to set up by hand: speaker terminals, line in and out, network, a 5 V feed for an accessory, and mains. Plug it in and XSCACE Studio finds it on the LAN.
- 1
Speaker terminals
Gold-plated binding posts for the speaker outputs. Signal comes in at line level on RCA — there is no speaker-level input.
- 2
Line in and out
RCA line input from any source or processor, and a line output to pass the signal on to another amplifier or a subwoofer.
- 3
5 V out
USB-C 5 V supply for a small accessory beside the amplifier, so a streamer or receiver needs no wall adaptor of its own.
- 4
LAN
Network control. XSCACE Studio finds the amplifier on the LAN with no configuration and tunes every parameter live over this port.
- 5
AC
IEC mains inlet. Standard detachable cord, supplied in the box.
- 6
Power
Illuminated push button. Settings live in non-volatile memory, so the amplifier returns to its last state after a power loss.
Set up in XSCACE Studio
DSP control, intelligent room correction and a full professional calibration suite. Every parameter on this 3-channel dsp amplifier · class d · champagne — levels, delay, crossovers, limiter and EQ — opens in the same application that configures the rest of the range, so an installer learns one tool.
Live DSP Control
Connect to any Xylem on the network and the full signal chain opens up: per-channel gain and delay, four crossover modes with live curve rendering, and six bands of parametric EQ per channel. Changes hit the DSP instantly over the local network — no round trips, no cloud. Discovery is zero-configuration: amplifiers announce themselves, so there is nothing to pair and no address to type. The delay block itself is accurate to 3 µs on a commanded 5.000 ms.
A Preset for Every XSCACE Speaker — and Yours
Connect a Cane, a Bonsai, a QuadCane, and the amplifier lists an XSCACE factory preset for that speaker: crossover, EQ and limiter threshold already set from the model's real driver and power handling. Load it and the zone is playing correctly before anything has been measured. Tune further from there, then save the result under your own name — the next identical zone in the project starts from a proven configuration instead of the factory default.
One Number, Not Thirty-Four
Per-channel limiting built on a peak-and-RMS combo: a 34-point gain transfer curve plus five time constants. You set one value — threshold in dBFS — because that is the number printed on the driver's datasheet and therefore the one an installer actually has. The device generates the curve from it, and the app states the consequence in plain language: at −6 dBFS, output is held there and peaks above it are caught in about 2 ms. Peak and RMS detectors run in parallel and whichever asks for more reduction wins. 33 factory presets across the range ship with thresholds derived from each speaker model's real power handling; an amplifier lists the presets matching its own channel count.
PsySculpt Low Extension
A per-input side-chain that synthesises harmonics of fundamentals the cabinet cannot physically reproduce, so the ear infers a fundamental that is not being played — the usable low end reads about an octave below the driver's rated limit. A Cane rated to 150 Hz reads to about 75 Hz; a Bonsai rated to 300 Hz to about 150 Hz. It is not a bass boost — nothing below the driver's range is amplified, because there is nothing there to amplify. The control reads "extend down to X Hz" because it sets how deep the effect reaches rather than naming a filter, with an extension target down to 40 Hz and settings that ride along with system presets.

What is the XSCACE Xylem 3?
2×100W plus 1×200W. Perfect for 2.1 setups with a dedicated bass channel. Network-configured DSP as standard, 218mm champagne chassis. Specified for 2.1 stereo and LCR cinema configurations in luxury residential home cinema rooms and high-performance audio installations across Canada, the UK, and India.
What is the power output of the Xylem 3?
The Xylem 3 delivers 2 × 100W + 1 × 200W into 8Ω (400W total), so a 2.1 system gets a dedicated 200W bass channel. It drives 4–8Ω loads.
What type of product is the Xylem 3?
The Xylem 3 is an amplifier product.
What DSP does the Xylem 3 use?
48 kHz, 28/56-bit fixed-point DSP (Analog Devices ADAU1701). Every crossover, EQ band, delay and limiter runs on that processor and is set from XSCACE Studio over the network; the configuration is stored on the Xylem 3 itself.
What does PsySculpt do on the Xylem 3?
PsySculpt is equal-loudness compensation running continuously on the DSP. A log-decay peak detector tracks programme level and drives low and high shelving filters from it, so perceived tonal balance stays constant as volume changes, with a level-tracked bass stage and a hard ceiling before the converters. Its harmonic bass extension also lets the low end read about an octave below the speaker's limit. It is not room correction — room correction is measured and applied in XSCACE Studio.
Can a room calibrated on the Xylem 3 be verified against CEDIA RP22?
Yes. XSCACE Studio includes a CEDIA RP32 verification checklist. CEDIA/CTA-RP22 defines four objective performance levels a room can be designed to, and CEDIA RP-32 is the companion practice for measuring and verifying whether it reached one. Set the target RP22 level and the room volume, and each parameter is marked pass or fail against RP22's table for that level — interchannel level and time, polarity, sub integration, background noise floor as an NCB rating, in-room bass extension, response below the transition frequency, early reflections against the direct sound, and reflection decay time to ISO 3382-1. Parameters needing a test the current version does not run are marked "not measured" rather than assumed, and the exported client report states that this is measurement to RP32 practice rather than a certification.
Do the Xylem 3 settings survive a power cut?
Yes. Gain, EQ, crossover, delay and limiter settings are held in non-volatile memory on the amplifier, so it returns to the configured state after any power event or firmware update.
What is the power output of the Xylem 3 at 4 ohms?
XSCACE publishes the Xylem 3's power rating at 8Ω only: 1 × 200W + 2 × 100W @ 8Ω — 400W total, ideal for 2.1 setups. It drives 4–8Ω loads, but no separate 4Ω power figure is published.
How much space does the Xylem 3 need?
The chassis is 64 mm high, 218.1 mm wide and 193.1 mm deep. Chassis depth is 193.1 mm. Allow 214.1 mm total clearance behind the front face — the rear speaker connectors add 21 mm once terminated.
How deep is the Xylem 3?
The Xylem 3 requires 193.1mm of depth.
