electric bass will prove to be a consistent low-frequency source. The difference between direct injection and
miking of the speaker/amplifier is easily audible with high-quality speakers.
10. Features
• Advanced light weight driver diaphragm materials minimize energy storage and time-domain distortion.
• Each driver individually tested and matched for optimum performance.
• Smooth, wide polar response for superlative imaging capabilities.
• Moderate impedance characteristic allows for ideal interface with any amplifier.
• Star-grounding techniques eliminate signal modulation.
• Crossover circuitry is hard-wired with surface-only conductors, eliminating deleterious sonic effects of
printed-circuit boards.
• Easy to use binding post on back of speaker
• Careful crossover control of all magnetic field interaction.
• Proprietary magnetics technology increases energy transfer and reduces noise floor.
• Polypropylene capacitors used exclusively to minimize energy storage.
• Proprietary damping circuit controls the tweeter's electrical parameters, reducing interaction with the
amplifier.
• Constrained-mode damping system absorbs cabinet vibrations.
• Three and one-quarter inch thick front panel supplies acoustically inert wave-launch platform.
• Acoustically-engineered grille assembly decreases edge diffraction effects.
• Distinctive faceted cabinet design provides optimal polar characteristics.
