The Walsh 4XO replaced the Walsh 4 with real wood veneer cabinets. The XO stood for eXtra Output because this series was more sensitive than the earlier series. It used the Walsh 4 cabinet and grill with the Walsh 4XO driver. None of the XOs had controls. There are Ohm logos on the front of the cabinet centered toward the bottom. There is a foam surround inside the driver that requires periodic replacement.
There should be a label under the grill that says ”aim toward center of room”. This label should be opposite the corner where the wires are coming out of the driver can. The Walsh 4XO should be set up eight to ten feet apart, with the labels on the inside front corners to benefit from the Full Room Stereo effect.
The Ohm Walsh 4XO was one of our most sensitive Walsh speakers and needs only a small amplifier to complement it’s natural vocal reproduction in small to medium sized rooms. It reproduces jazz, folk, and chamber music with exceptional accuracy.
"I got the Mk-2 upgrade this afternoon and did the install. All I can say is WOW, what an improvement." Steve R.
The speaker can be upgraded with Walsh 3000, Walsh 4000 or Walsh 5000 drivers and a vent adapter to tune the cabinet lower for deeper bass. No tools are necessary and it takes only 5 minutes to install. You'll enjoy much deeper bass and more open highs in exchange for lower sensitivity and more ''laid back'' balance. You can audition this upgrade with our 60 Day Home Trial because there is no permanent modification to the cabinet.
The Walsh 4012 upgrade is similar to the Walsh 4.4000 but with a 12" Xtreme Xcursion subwoofer in the bottom of the same cabinet, driven by a dedicated subwoofer amp with 500 Watts per channel. This is a 20/20K design, covering the full range of human hearing. It reproduces deeper bass and higher treble than the Walsh 4XO (The highs are the same as the current 4000.) and plays much louder than the Walsh 4XO. This upgrade must be done at the factory, since it requires extensive modification to the cabinet, and comes in your choice of real wood veneers. You can still audition this upgrade with our 60-Day Home Trial and send back your speakers in the same packaging material we used to send you the new ones. All upgrades come with Ohm's 3-Year Limited Parts and Service Warrantee.
Note: Most Ohm upgrades require no specialized knowledge and are easily completed completed by any person. It takes less time to install your own upgrade than it does to package and return ship your speakers to the factory, therefore, we recommend you save time and money by doing this yourself. We ship the upgrade to your door with clear, easy instructions. If for any reason you prefer to have the factory complete your upgrade installation, we will be happy to do this for free, however, you will be responsible for shipping and handling costs each way.
Ohm allows up to $2495 for the return of a complete undamaged pair of Ohm 4X0s toward 25% of the purchase price of new Ohm speakers.
