•
Crossover
: 2nd order @ 500 Hz
o
Far below the disturbance-sensitive hearing region of 1 kHz - 3 kHz
o
Entire midrange and treble carried by the electrostatic elements
o
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) implementation, which functions
exactly according to design intent, unlike complex passive crossovers
•
Secondary partial crossover
on electrostatics
o
Resistor-only 1st order passive at 5 kHz
o
Limits the upper treble from half the width of ESL panel
o
Controls dispersion and flattens the electrostatic aperture effect roll-
up response without an electrical rolloff network
•
Built in equalization
o
Idealizes the frequency response
o
Provides three room boundary reinforcement corrections, selected
with the remote control
o
Adapts the bass response to a wide range of speaker placements
relative to walls, or can be used to boost or cut bass
•
