Description
The EFX-1 is a wall-mount surround loudspeaker for home theater applications. It offers the choice
of bi-pole or di-pole operation, which can be changed at the flick of a switch. In addition to the
conventional choices of bi-pole or dipole operation, the EFX-1 can operate with the treble units in
dipole mode and the midrange units in bi-pole mode or vice versa. This gives unusual flexibility in
choosing the optimum spacial effects characteristics for home theater surround-channel set-up. We
do recommend that either full bi-pole or di-pole modes be used in most circumstances.
The system uses a carefully designed sealed trapezoidal cabinet and incorporates two three
quarter-inch soft dome treble units, two three-inch midrange units and a five-inch bass unit (fig.1).
The midrange units use separate internal enclosures from the bass unit to minimize coloration.
Connection is by means of five-way binding posts on the rear of the cabinet (fig.2).
