IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKER
WOOFER TECHNOLOGY
■8" interlaced glass and carbon-fiber cone is extremely rigid to reduce breakup and lower distortion
even under high power
■Butyl rubber cone surround damps resonance and provides exceptional durability
■Sophisticated motor assembly including high BL magnet, extended pole piece, high temperature
aluminum voice coil former and machined top plate for deep bass response and clean bass tones
■Inverted dust cap for added rigidity and wide mid-bass dispersion
MIDRANGE TECHNOLOGY
■1-1/2" fluid-cooled tri-laminate Teteron hyperbolic dome midrange driver reproduces critical
midrange sounds with exceptional accuracy
■NDFE 35 neodymium, high BL magnet motor structures enable compact driver construction
TWEETER TECHNOLOGY
■1" Tri-laminate Teteron hyperbolic dome tweeter reproduces high frequencies and their harmonics
with crystal clear accuracy
■Tweeter is housed in a zero diffraction swiveling enclosure that allows installer to control dispersion
patterns for optimal response
AUDIOPHILE FEATURES
■Linkwitz-Riley filters with premium crossover components provides seamless driver integration
■Low diffraction, X-Matrix™ reinforced polycarbonate Baffle eliminates unwanted resonance
TONE CONTROLS
■4 increment (-2dB, Flat, +2dB, +4dB) bass, midrange and treble controls adjust from the front
baffle for fine tuning after installation
INSTALLATION
■100% rustproof MicroPerf™ aluminum grille conceals loudspeaker elements yet allows full
frequency sound through. Grille can be painted to match décor
■Moisture and UV resistant materials including all stainless steel and brass hardware stand up to
harsh environments
■Infrared sensor knockout provides a hidden remote control solution
■6mm low diffraction X-Matrix reinforced polycarbonate baffler resonance for improved
dynamic range
