  • Edge-Driven Silk Dome Tweeters: Equipped with oversized voice coils, these tweeters provide smooth high-frequency reproduction with excellent thermal power handling and 40kHz high-resolution audio capability.
  • Plus One™ Glass Fiber Woofer Cones: Lighter and stiffer than conventional cones, these woofers offer increased cone area for enhanced low-frequency output and higher efficiency.
  • Adjustable Tweeter Output Level: A push-button on the angled tweeter allows for 0dB or -3dB output level control, enabling optimization of system linearity based on the installation location.
  • Rotatable Tweeters: For coaxial models (and applicable component tweeters), the tweeters can be rotated 270° after installation, providing imaging options and the ability to elevate the soundstage.
  • Compact Crossover Networks: The 2-way component system crossovers are compact and feature 2-way and 3-way selections, allowing for future upgrades with an optional 2" or 3" midrange speaker.
