ULTRA TOWER

Frequency Response and Electro-Acoustic Data:

• Rated bandwidth: 28 Hz-32 kHz (± 3 dB).

• Nominal impedance: 8 ohms.

• Sensitivity: 88 dB (2.83V @ 1 meter full-space, 300-3kHz).

• Recommended amplifier power: 20-300 watts

Loudspeaker Physical Description:

• Dimensions (HxWxD): 45" x 13.8" x 16.25", 114.3 x 35 x 41.3 cm.

• Weight: 75.4 lbs., 34.2 kgs.

• Dual gold-plated 5-way binding posts.

• 3.5” wide-flared rear-firing port.

• Cloth grille with pin/cup retention system.  

Driver Array and Technical Highlights:

• 1" tweeter features FEA-optimized diffuser and aluminum dome.

• 6.5" midrange driver features composite glass-fiber cone, aluminum shorting ring, cast 

aluminum basket and vented voice coil former.

• 8" woofer features aluminum shorting rings, long stroke motor and suspension and a 

vented voice coil former.

ForceFactor Woofer Array:

• Dual 8" side-firing horizontally opposed UltraSonic woofers results in mechanical force 

cancellation, enhanced modal density and reduced distortion for a smooth, accurate bass at 

all listening locations.

SoundMatch Crossover Network:

• 3.5-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors and heavy-trace 

printed circuit boards.

• Unique tapered midrange array minimizes off-axis lobing and enhances radiated sound 

power into listening space.

• Top midrange-to-tweeter crossover: 2 kHz.

• Bottom midrange taper frequency: 950 Hz.  

• Dual midrange-to-woofer crossover: 160 Hz.

Cabinet Construction Technical Highlights:

• Separate sealed midrange enclosures minimize top-to-bottom wall dimensions and shift 

standing waves beyond the driver pass band, minimizing negative driver interaction and 

associated frequency response degradation.

• Non-parallel cabinet panels reduces axial standing waves within the cabinet, reducing 

frequency response coloration.

• Acoustically transparent and FEA optimized grilles, wedge-shaped front baffle and 

flush-mounted drivers all contribute to reduced edge diffraction and improved on-axis high 

frequency response.
