IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKER
WOOFER TECHNOLOGY
■8" Titanium/aluminum/urethane 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, bi-filer voice coil windings, extended pole
piece, distortion canceling balanced drive and machined top plate for deep bass response and
clean bass tones
■Cast aluminum frame and basket secures drive components to prevent distortion and unwanted
harmonics
■Inverted dust cap for added rigidity and wide mid-bass dispersion
MIDRANGE TECHNOLOGY
■Dual 1-1/2" titanium/aluminum/urethane hyperbolic dome midrange drivers reproduce critical
midrange sounds with exceptional accuracy
■NDFE 35 neodymium, high BL magnet motor structures enable compact driver construction
■Midrange drivers are housed in a 360° rotating, 30° pivoting DSFG® adjustable array allows
installer to control dispersion patterns for optimal response
TWEETER TECHNOLOGY
■1" fluid-cooled titanium/aluminum/urethane hyperbolic dome tweeter reproduces high frequencies
and their harmonics with crystal clear accuracy
■Tweeter is housed in a 360° rotating, 30° pivoting DSFG® adjustable dispersion array 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
■Sub-Bass Boost control (3dB @ 60 Hz)
■1kHz and 3.5kHz selectable LinearTrack™ filters
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
