PIVOTING TWEETER ASSEMBLY
Directs the treble sound in any direction independent of the pivoting woofer
ADVANCED MATERIAL SCIENCE
Elevates performance of sub component parts like woofer cones, tweeter diaphragms and crossover components
SOPHISTICATED MOTOR AND MAGNETIC DESIGN
Including extended pole pieces, bump back magnets and machined top plates for deep bass response
IMPEDANCE MANAGEMENT
Selectable 4 ohm or 8 ohm impedance lets installers optimize the system design
ACOUSTIC FINE TUNING
Bass and treble controls optimize system sound for every acoustical environment
WOOFER TECHNOLOGY
n
Pivoting, patented woofer assembly focuses the bass and midrange tones directly into the listening
area (pivots up to 15°)
n
8" injection-molded, graphite reinforced polypropylene cone is extremely rigid to reduce breakup
and lower distortion
n
Butyl rubber cone surround damps resonance and provides exceptional durability
